PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 GEOKGE LATI�IER (612) 298-4323 MAYOR September 7, 1982 T�: MEMB�RS OF THE SAINT PAUL CITY COUNCIL , FR: MAYOR GEORGE LATIMER�� RE: APPOINTMENT OF MARY SCHWEIGER McNELLIS Over the last two years, Mary Schweiger McNellis has played an increasingly central role in Saint Paul 's intergovern- m�ntal affairs efforts. This past year, Mary worked full time on our state legislative program. Typically, this function has rested in the Mayor 's Office , with the staff per son working directly with the City Council 's Legislative Committee on policy and legislative program decisions. The attached resolution appoints McNellis to an Administrative Aide III position and transfers her from the Department of Planning and Economic Development to the Mayor 's Office on a full-time basis. I �ask your support on this mayoral appoint- ment . A copy of McNellis' resume is attached and, as you can sea, she has had considerable governmental experience. More importantly, she has demonstrated her capabilities as a trusted and skilled professional in Saint Paul City Government. �'inally, I have spoken with most of you about the necessity of beefing up our overall intergavernmental affairs/revenue raising efforts. Considering the serious problems created through the recent federal and state cutbacks, this is an area �ahere the City must make a greater staff investment if we are to deal with current budget -problems. In the near future, the �ity Council will be receiving a second mayoral appointment for review. The second position will also be an intergovern- mental affairs staff position and will be half funded by the riayor 's Office budget and half funded by the Saint Paul Port Authority.
