HOW TO USE THE GREE,N SHEET
, .
The GREEN SHEET has several PURPOSES: •
1. to assist in routing documents and in securing required signatures
2. to brief the reviewers of documents on the impacts of approval
3. to help ensure that necessary supporting materials are prepared, and, if
required, attached.
Providing complete information under the listed headings enables reviewers to make
decisions on the documents and eliminates follow-up contacts that may delay execution.
The COST/BENEFIT, BUDGETARY AND PERSONNEL IMPACTS heading provides space to explain
the cost/benefit aspects of the decision. Costs and benefits related both to City
budget (General Fund and/or Special Funds) and to broader financial impacts (cost
to users, homeowners or other groups affected by the action) . The personnel impact
is a description of change or shift of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) positions.
If a CONTRACT amount is less than $10,000, the Mayor's signature is not required,
if the department director signs. A contract must always be first signed by the
outside agency before routing through City offices.
Below is the preferred ROUTING for the five most frequent types of documents:
CONTRACTS (assumes authorized budget exists)
1. Outside Agency 4. Mayor
2. Initiating Department 5. Finance Director
3. City Attorney 6. Finance Accounting
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER (Budget Revision) ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS (all others)

2. Department Accountant ' 2. City Attorney
3. Department Director � 3. Director of Management/Mayor
4. Budget Director 4. City Clerk

8. Chief Accountant, F&MS .
SUPPORTING MATERIALS. In the ATTACHMENTS section, identify all attachments. If the ,� �
Green Sheet is well done, no letter of transmittal need be included (unless signing
such a letter is one of the requested actions) .
Note: If an agreement requires evidence of insurance/co-insurance, a Certificate of
Insurance should be one of the attachments at time of routing.
Note: Actions which require City Council Resolutions include:
1. Contractual relationship with another governmental unit. '
2. Collective bargaining contracts.
3. Purchase, sale or lease of land.
4. Issuance of bonds by City.
5. Eminent domain.
6. Assumption of liability by City, or granting by City of indemnification.
7. Agreements with State or Federal Government under which they are providing
funding.

Saint Paul , Mi nesot 55102
Dear Council P eside t Tedesco:
The purpose of this etter is to request your approval of th ee
Council Resolu ions ertaining to the staffing and operation of
the Mayor' s Of ice.
In 1984 two ke staf left the Mayor' s Office. Greg Haupt,
Director of Ma ageme t, became the Manager of Citywide
Information Se vices Dick Broeker, Executive Assistant to he
Mayor, became he Ex cutive Director of the World Trade
Center. Since their departure the two positions have been 1 ft
vacant. These vacan ies contributed to a Mayor' s Office fun
balance of $55 000 a the end of 1984 .
The short term strat gy for absorbing their work has been to
move LeeAnn Tu chin rom a clerical position to an
administrative one a d to hire Pat Conley as an administrati e
aide to assist Maure n Warren in intergovernmental affairs,
including lobb ing a the State Legislature.
This strategy as wo ked well in the short term. It is time,
however, to cr ate t e staff complement appropriate for the
long term. Th fili ng of the Executive Assistant and Direc or
of Management ositi ns is essential to undertaking a new
agenda-buildin and mplementation process for the City.
Attached is a ounci Resolution which amends the 1985 budge
by appropriati g the funds necessary to fill the vacant
positions. Th amen ment also provides funds for the additi n
of a clerical ositi n. This position was lost when
Ms. Turchin be ame a administrative aide and is further
justified by t e fil ing of the two senior professional
positions. Wh n I t ok office in 1976 , there were 31
staffpeople in the M yor' s Office. Today the complement is 0.
John Taft will be ap ointed to the position of Deputy Direct r
of Planning (h ' s res me is attached ) , based on the Personnel

Director' s rec mmend tion of April 15 , 1985. He is known t
you because of his w rk on the Civic Center sale-leaseback nd
other developm nt pr jects. He has left his position with
Piper Jaffrey nd Ho wood, where he was a successful invest nt
banker. John s a p ofessional whose creativity and hard wo k
are respected oth w thin the financial community and the
public sector. He b ings to the City a wealth of experience
which can be a plied to addressing and resolving the critica
issue of finan ing c ty government.
Peter Hames wi 1 be ppointed as the Executive Assistant to he
Mayor (his res me is attached) . Since 1982 he has been the
Director of Fi ance nd Management Services and has been a C ' ty
employee for a most welve years. He will apply his managem nt
skills as the ayor' chief of staff and will work on improv 'ng
the management of th City and our Better Neighborhoods
Program.
A final note: As I repared for these appointments, I saw t e
need to clean p the organization of job titles within the
Mayor' s Office I w' ll be submitting a reorganization plan o
the Civil Servi ce Co ission and then to the City Council.
This will make the s affing and the structuring of job title
easier and mor logi al.
Your approval f the attached resolutions is respectfully
requested.

Dear Mayor Latimer
During the process of com osing ordinances to establish the two new posi ions
of Administrative ide IV and Administrative Aide V for the Mayor's Offi
an er�or was disco ered c ncerning the previously established position o
Director of Manag ent.
The documents conn cted w th the Director of Management were sought to u as
an example for the paper rk necessary to establish two similar positio s.
It was discovered hat th original Director of Management position was
incorrectly establ shed i 1977 by resolution. Section 12.03.2 of the Ci y
Charter requires t at Unc assified positions be established by ordinance.
Therefore, the Dir ctor o Management position currently does not legall
exist.
It is my understan ing t t John Taft was to be appointed as Director of
Management on Apri 16 un il such time as the Administrative Aide V posit'on
was official. In iew of the above development I recommend that Mr. Taft
be temporarily ap inted o the exempt position of Deputy Director-Planni g
which is the same alary ange as the Director of Management.
Greg Blees will se that ppropriate corrections are made to the appointi g
documents.
Si�cerely,
' �,' -,
