approved the RFP process. She moved approval of the resolution.

feels that the expertise of an outsider is needed or these changes would have been made
long ago.
Councilmember Grimm expressed concern over the amount of money allotted to hire a
consultant.
Councilmember Rettman indicted that the each organization could contribute up to
$30,000 each, but the amount may be less depending upon the bids received.

City Council Research staff and the Mayor's Office staff to work on this project. He
indicated that people on the inside will have a greater understanding of the budget and
budget processes than someone from the outside.
Councilmember Thune concurred with Councilmember Guerin.
Pam Wheelock, Deputy Mayor, indicated that the City does not have staff with the
flexibility and expertise to dedicate the next three to four months to develop proposals in
time for the next legislative session.

expertise is necessary in this case.
Councilmember Harris stated that he feels that there must be someone intemally who
could study this subject.
Councilmember Rettman indicated that part of the consultant's responsibilities will
include the development of databases that could be used in the future.
Councilmember Grimm suggested that Council or City staff provide support to the
consultant to reduce the cost.
Councilmember Guerin moved an amendment indicating support of the RFP with the
City contributing $30,000 worth of staff time.
Failed Yeas - 3 Nays - 4(Grimm, Megard, Rettman, Blakey)

indicated that the school district and the County have already approved the RFP process
with each entity contributing $30,000. Councilmember Rettman indicated that if the
Council does not approve the $30,000 contribution, talks will have to resume with the
other groups.
Councilmember Grimm indicated that the Council should bring their suggestion of a
$45,000 limit to other two groups. She indicated that no specific costs are presented in

Marcia Moermond, City Council Research and Investigation, outlined the
Implementation Study for the proposed residency requirement.
Dan Vannelli, President of the Saint Paul Police Federation and City resident, indicated
his organization's opposition to a residency requirement as its economic impact is
insignificant and his belief that it is a policy that does not work. In response to a
question from Councilmember Blakey, Mr. Vannelli indicated that he does his clothes
shopping within St. Paul, but he does his grocery shopping outside of the City. Mr.
Vannelli indicated that about 30 percent of St. Paul Police Officers work off-duty hours
within the City.
Dennis C�mmings of 1610 Western Avenue indicated that although he approves of City
employees having a"stake" in the City, he does not see residency as a way to
demonstrate one's commitment. He suggested that the Council pay employees different
salaries based on the City in which they choose to live.
9
City Council Summary Minutes August 10, 1994
Jerry Serfling, representing AFSCME, indicated his organization's opposition to a
residency requirement on the basis that residency is a condition of employment that
cannot be implemented save through the collective bargaining process. He also noted
that not all City employees have incomes sufficient to cover the costs of relocation. He
further noted that his organization is opposed to a residency requirement for promotion.
He stated that a residency requirement would limit the number of qualified candidates
for City positions. He indicated a willingness on the part of AFSCME to work with the
Council to develop a greater percentage of minority employees and to develop incentives
for City residency.
Councilmember Harris indicated that promotion rights are not cunently being
considered as a portion of the residency requirement ordinance. He noted that school
employees would be required to become residents of the City upon being hired as a City
employee.
Gary Trudeau of 1506 Clarence indicated his opposition to the residency requirement.
He asked the Council to study the topic carefully and move slowly. He indicated that he
feels the estimated cost of enforcement as presented in the Council Research Study is
