Summary

The council directed the treasurer to make the second payment tied to Crosswinds Development ($744,029.55 remaining after the city’s $2M contribution, with 5% held) and approved an updated organizational chart to be included in the Personnel Manual after discussion of mayor/council placement.

Mayor Simpson reported the city is contributing $2 million toward Crosswinds Development. With the contractor’s second payment request, Simpson said the city’s remaining amount to pay would be $744,029.55 with a 5% retainage. Alderperson Gritzmaker moved to direct the treasurer to make the second payment for $744,029.55; Baxter seconded and the motion carried with all ayes.

Alderperson Baxter presented updates to the city organizational chart showing changes to the police department, City Clerk’s staff and Pool & Rec staff, and asked that the chart be included in the new Personnel Manual. Mayor Simpson objected to listing the council above the mayor; Baxter and Gritzmaker discussed layout alternatives. Baxter moved to approve the organizational chart with the mayor and council oriented as discussed and the motion carried.

Council minutes record the payment directive and organizational-chart approval; staff were directed to implement the payment and file the chart in the Personnel Manual.
