Discussion:
1.} Finance Optionis - New City Hall - Nanninga spent some time
today figuring out where furniture in t : he open area /off °face
could be placed. He is looking at diff rent options 6r
expansion. We would like to consider hying a usable:basemeni..
There will be double doors with security. There will;pe only
one set of bathrooms on the Administrative side. Pospable
elevator. There needs to.be a conference room. Prochaska
would like toibe able to keep the public in one area.!�Sticka
suggest combining the break room and the conference room.
Sugar Grove and Elburn have"their' break room and conference
room combined and it works out good.' There needs to bb a
second set of +stairs. Nanninga would like to considei•ia fire
proof vault iqt the basement. We are la king at about•$100 a
square foot ni t . including the outside. A back up'genebator i:;
needed for th police.' Finance options - Information•from
Spears - five percent comes up to about. $91,000 per year.
Payments are quarterly. If we use the money from F.E.;WheatoY•,
then we can aflford the .'$91,000 per year. Assuming that 75
building permits are issued. But then we have to deCide if wt:
want to take that money away from the streets. Up toiJanuary
we have only issued 29 building permits. Nanninga is�still
talking with people that might get permit s this year.i�The
architectural plans that we use have to stamped.• S :cott H3 1,
did not stamp :the plans. Nanninga got a quote today** tq
completely redo the plans for $46,000. Nanninga has schedules
a meeting tomorrow with Scott Hill. Financial figuresjare
based on a bond. It will cost us more to do a loan. lProchaslas

2. &. 3:) Job Descriptions & Judy Bell - Replacement - Sar}dy Marker
has applied for Judy's position. Sandy is currently the
Secretary to the City Administrator. She fills in for�'Judy
when'Judy is out of the office. Nanninga recommends 6a�ndy fox:
, the position and a salary of $24,000. If she acceptsl'he
Deputy Clerk responsibilities there is alstipend of..$��900 per
.-year. A�Deputy Clerk is appointed by the Mayor and the City
Council to concur. Mayor Johnson has no problems-with
replacing Judy with Sandy as long as there is a probation
period. If she for some reason she was unable to perf6rm all
her job description responsibilities then she would ha•yie to
abide by the new job descriptions for her old job. Sticka is
f I �

confused withlthe probation period, why and who would review
her? Nanning would have to do an evaluation. Needito get
some clarification from Dan on the probation issue. jr:ommittee
recommends Sandy for the position. Take to COW. Sandy's
position will have to be posted in house first. Thislpositioa
must be offered to all full time employees. Pay is $40,000
after six months position will be give the annual increase at
the beginning of the fiscal year from date of the six month
date. Prochaska would like to know if Nanninga has thought
about some type of office manager? Nanninga does notifeel th3•t
we really need an officer manager at this time. Nann:nga is
happy with the current job description and duties. Hl„ive Bob

Ralph. YBSD would like to increase the late fee to I() percen
up from eight1percent. YBSD is willing accept thel,pay as -ua;
receive offer! We will pass along their portion of the late
fees. YBSD wants to make sure we go from date of agx(;.ement
forward. The next step is for YBSD to m eet with thea Attorn
and we need to meet with Dan to draw up an agreement., We can
revise the amount they pay us to do their billing. it cos:
us $12,000 to i do their billing and they lonly pay us $;1.110, 000
then we need to increase it. Nanninga thinks we need-Ito sit

annually by February 1 each year.

time if a resiident makes 'a point' and we need to make kshy
changes? This is a proposed budget. Are the Committ:(.es

lines. Sewer shook on is $2,000 and wat:efr hook on is $'800.
They won't pay, land cash or transition fees. The do n.�t like

Scheffrahn would like to figure out whai we really ow
$96,000 is owed to the trust and agency ! Prochaska is just
wondering if that is money that was bo:r owed and repaid but not
credited correctly. We could forgive - that account bu6: we sti i.:.
need to get the money from somewhere. M may have been pu
co
back but never shown. We need to forg.a.ve the ac unt or fi g u::aa
out a way to r epay. But then who are we going to rep.i�y it tol)
Scheffrahn is hoping to be done tracing back and trying to
figure it all out within a month or so. Municipal Building
fund has $292,000 in it. The accounts have to be pail(!, back of in

the old power!plant. There are approximately $7,500 �=th of
fees per building with a total of abou.: I$35, 000. Thi;sa person
is also working with Detmer making sure the building ;is up to
standards. Allot of fees are based on bringing in new
development. (This building is 150 years old and diffleArent
taxes have been paid all along. We need to come up with a way
to encourage that old buildings are cleaned up and made into
something. This person is looking to jut in apartments with
one bedroom ar�d a loft. We need to consider some flel ability
on older buildings and looking at areas they are in. II We need
to decide if 4e need to change from residential to co�n1mercial
The Burlington Northern sold the railroad line from Ottawa to
Montgomery. As long as the railroad slAr is "there that
