18. Resolution - 97-124 - Approving the appointment of Guy Willits to the unclassified position of
Administrative Assistant in the Public Health Office effective January 4, 1996 1497.
Councilmember Megard indicated that this was an unusual appointment because it is an
appointment by the City Council. The only other positions that are appointment by the City
Council are the Legislative Aides and they serve at the will of the Councilmembers. This is an
unclassified position assigned to Public Health but appointed by the Council for an indefinite term.
She suggested the Council impose an ending date of December 31, 1997 for the length of this term
since there will be a new Council. It will be a permanent position in the City Council unless an
ending term is imposed, she said.
Councilmember Megard moved to amend the resolution to end the term of the appointment on
December 31, 1997.
Councilmember Rettman clarified that the effective date of the appointment reads 1996 and it
should be 1997. Councilmember Rettman said she thought there was a provision with this
appointment that it would come before the Council annually.
Councilmember Harris recalled budget discussions held in 1996 about having more people do
inspections, providing information to the Council, and when there are problem properties that they
are taken care of. Therefore, he said he feels this is a good position but would like to see the
person located in the Council Offices. He spoke against putting a time specific on the position but
said he would like to see it subject to annual review.
Councilmember Megard said if there are going to be housing inspectors, she would like to see the
positions classified and the people tested.
John Hamilton, Office of Human Resources, appeared and told the Council that one way to handle
this issue would be to not approve it again in the 1998 budget. Further, since it is appointed, the
Council could remove it at any time.
Councilmember Bostrom moved approval.
Discussion took place on where the position should be located. Councilmember Rettman said she
felt it should be left where the work takes place which is the Public Health Office.

38. Resolution - 97-69 - Authorizing financing in the amount of$2,340,000.00 for the purchase of
Civic Center Equipment.
Councilmember Bostrom questioned where the money will come from for this equipment and said
he does not want set-aside funds to be used. Councilmember Rettman said she has the same
concerns.
Councilmember Bostrom moved to layover three weeks.
Laid over to March 5 Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
39. Resolution - 97-143 - Approving the reappointment, by Mayor Coleman, of Timothy Fuller as
Fire Chief of the Department of Fire and Safety Services for a new term commencing April 2,
1997.
Councilmember Megard moved approval.
Tim Marx, Mayor's Office, appeared and expressed the Mayor's strong support for the
reappointment of Tim Fuller as the Saint Paul Fire Chief. He stated that he hoped this day, and
the Council's deliberations, could be used to celebrate the excellent Saint Paul Fire Department
and the strong public confidence that exists in the Fire Department due to the many firefighters
and other people present at this meeting and due, also, to the fine leadership that Mr. Fuller has
exhibited the past six years. The next six years will not be status quo at the Fire Department;
there will be continuous improvement, continued fiscal discipline, attention to diversity issues,
attention to labor-management issues, and dealing with the employee environment to improve it.
The City is in a period of change, Marx said, and sometimes conflict is created.
February 12, 1997, City Council Summary Minutes Page 8
He asked that the conflict not be allowed to detract from the overall goal, to keep things on track,
and maintain the high public confidence and excellent record of the Fire Department.
Chief Tim Fuller extended his appreciation to the Mayor for his confidence in supporting him for
reappointment. Chief Fuller read a prepared statement which included past accomplishments of
the Fire Department and his vision for the future.
The following individuals appeared and spoke against the reappointment of Chief Fuller:
John Colonna, representing the Fire Supervisory Association
Sherry Wings, Fire Inspector, Fire Prevention Division
Tom Strassener, Firefighter
Gary Olding, President, International Association of Firefighters Local 21
Councilmember Harris extended his appreciation to the firefighters for attending the meeting and
said he feels it's important that people hear what is going on. He said he feels there are solutions
to the problems and concerns that can be addressed. Harris noted that the City Charter allows for
a probation period. He said he would support the reappointment of the Chief with a very specific
list of things that would have to be done within a one-year time period.
Councilmember Harris moved for a three week layover and suggested that a list of issues be
compiled.
Tim Marx said the Mayor's Office will provide the Council with the information they need and
lay out in a resolution a work program for the Fire Department to move forward on. He
suggested Councilmembers provide him with their lists and he will work with Chief Fuller to
prepare language to incorporate into the resolution of appointment.
Councilmember Megard said she is hopeful the Council can concentrate on looking at objective
criteria of performance. Decisions cannot be based on "here say" she said. She said she needs to
see outside criteria, perhaps an outside evaluator. She said she was concerned about the charges
of discrimination, lack of reporting, intimidation and vindictiveness. Some of it may call for
discipline. Individuals who work for the City must be treated fairly whether they are management
or employees and that is what she expects from the individual being questioned. Performance
evaluation is needed, she said.
Councilmember Bostrom stated that regardless of what's going on in the Administration, the Fire
Department is going to continue to respond to emergencies. He talked about the stress
encountered by the firefighters and said their work should not be made more difficult for political
reasons. He said he was troubled by what he heard and would support the layover to carefully
review the issue.
Councilmember Blakey spoke in support of the layover and said he had some issues that he wants
to look at. He said he has been impressed with the Fire Department and is concerned about some
of the issues raised; however, they have to be as concrete and specific as possible.
February 12, 1997, City Council Summary Minutes Page 9
Councilmember Mauer said he would support the layover noting that this is a serious issue and the
Council should spend the next three weeks looking at it very closely.
Councilmember Rettman said one of the duties of the City Council is for the members to be
deliberative in their approach--not just on fiscal issues but also with labor-management issues.
There is a role for everyone to play - the administration, the union, the supervisors, inspectors,
etc. Part of the Council's role is to make a deliberative decision that is based on factual data, she
said.
Councilmember Thune said he would like to see specific direction given and suggested that
Council Research be directed to compile issues within a certain time period and give them to the
Administration. When a six-year appointment is being made, Councilmember Thune said, it must
be done with confidence and not just hope that things will change or be different. He concurred
with Councilmember Bostrom that the Fire Department will continue to function at the highest
level. If the Administration is not doing the job, it will only deteriorate with time, Thune said,
and the City and the public cannot afford that.
Councilmember Bostrom suggested that Councilmembers submit their questions and concerns to
Council Research by Wednesday, February 19. Council Research should compile them, circulate
them to all Councilmembers to insure that all concerns are addressed and give them to the
Administration for their response. Thus, a unified list of concerns can be presented as opposed to
seven people individually giving their concerns to the Administration. He asked that the list be
back to Councilmembers by February 21 for any revisions and presented to the Administration on
the 25th of February.
Councilmember Rettman stated that this issue is not just questions to be answered; some of it is
evidentiary and some of it is getting updates in regard to the statements made. The City Attorney
will have to provide some information. She added that there are some things that are standards
that should happen regardless of who's in the position, just as the case is in other departments;
e.g., there should be labor-management meetings and if someone boycotts them, they should go
on. The Council has gone on record saying they want labor-management issues discussed; this
means everyone has a responsibility to stay at the table.

54. Resolution - 97-155 - Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 1030 Oxford Street
within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. (Legislative Hearing Officer recommends
approval)
Gerry Strathman, Legislative Hearing Officer, reported that the property at 1030 Oxford Avenue
has been vacant since June, 1996 and is currently in foreclosure. The estimated cost to repair the
building is $20,000 and the cost of demolition is $7,200. A mortgage company purchased the
property in a Sheriff's sale in September, 1996. It's currently in the redemption period which will
expire March 18, 1997, at which time the mortgage company intends to convey the property to
HUD. A neighbor appeared at the Legislative Hearing and indicated the property was in a serious
state of disrepair, it has been a problem for the neighborhood, and the problem had to be
addressed. The inspectors concurred that there are significant violations and serious problems
with the property, Mr. Strathman said. His recommendation was that the City proceed to remove
or repair the structure within fifteen days.
Beth Asmussen, attorney for Chase Mortgage Services, appeared and requested an extension of
time for demolishing the building. Chase foreclosed on the government insured mortgage on the
property last September subject to a six-months redemption period. Chase will become the owner
on March 19, 1997, at which time they intend to convey the property to HUD. During the
redemption period, her client has changed the locks, secured the building, and has cooperated with
the City in providing access to the inspectors.
(Harris left)
Elizabeth Mische, 1022 Orchard Avenue West, spoke against conveying the property to HUD
stating that this property has continued to deteriorate. The idea that HUD would convey the
property and attract people of marginal income to live in a house that is unmaintainable is
scandalous, she said. She further stated that working class women and their children should not
have houses of this quality existing in a neighborhood and then have rehabilitation subsidized by
the taxpayers. She asked that the building be removed.
Jackie Kieger, 1038 North Oxford, said she does not feel the house is worth repairing as it is in
extremely bad condition.
Council President Thune closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Rettman stated she has toured this property with some of the neighborhood
residents and it was clearly identified as a problem. She moved that it be removed or repaired
within five days.
