(Laid over from January 12) Councilmember Harris moved to lay the resolution over four weeks at the request of the Mayor's Office. Pam Wheelock, Mayor's Office, explained the reason for the layover request saying that it is a complex issue involving a number of city departments, and several key staff inembers have been on vacation. Also, there have been other major issues that the administration has been dealing with which has caused a delay in getting to this issue. Ms. Wheelock stated that the administration would like to bring in a package which not only deals with this issue but also a suggested policy on what the city's role should be with regard to special events. Councilmember Harris requested that information be provided to the Council on whether any city funds have been released to the organizations that are presently in arrears. Laid over to April 6 Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 5 Summary Minutes March 9, 1994 21. Resolution - 94-197 - authorizing the acquisition of 35 single family homes by the Public Housing Agency for resale to 35 eligible low income families. (Laid over from February 23) Councilmember Megard moved to introduce a substitute resolution. Roll Call Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 Jon Gutzman, Executive Director, Public Housing Agency, noted that at the February 23 Council meeting, the Council asked him to work with PED to refine the Homeward Home Ownership Program elements and also to develop additional financing options. There have been two significant new developments. On March 1, the Public Housing Authority negotiated with HUD a change in the use of their funds for rehab. Under all previous programs, HUD has limited rehab to 10% of the total budget. Due to the City's standing as a high performer agency, HUD has agreed to allow the City to use as much of the $3.9 million as is desired to accomplish rehab as long as other program requirements are met. Further, with the help of PED staff and the Councilmembers who sit on the Family Housing Fund Board, an additional commitment of $125,000 was secured from the Family Housing Fund to help with more substantial rehab. New options were developed for the Council's consideration and the substitute resolution presented recommended Option B. A minimum of 20 homes could undergo major rehab and possibly all 35. This would only include houses that were previously rental and/or vacant. Under Option B, the City would receive a commitment of $75,000 from MHFA. This option requests a commitment of $275,000 from the city which is matched by the Family Housing Fund -$125,000 for rehab, and $150,000 for home ownership counseling. Councilmember Rettman noted that Option A shows a total of $250,00 for administration, and Option B indicates administration at $350,000. Since the city will be contributing $275,000 of CDBG dollars, she suggested dedicating $125,000 and leave the remaining $150,000 in contingency so that in the event that it is not needed it could be used for other projects. Jan Blesener, Deputy Executive Director of PHA, addressed the issue of administrative costs explaining that the cost per house to handle a major rehabilitation is going to be more than a minor rehab. If only 20 homes are rehabilitated, the money that the city has provided will be the last funds that may be left over at the end of the program. It cannot be determined at this point if those funds would have been spent for administration or rehab. What is used will be determined by the number of homes that are rehabed. Councilmember Rettman offered a friendly amendment to the resolution indicating that city funds would be the last to be used. Councilmember Megard moved approval as amended. Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 22. Resolution - 93-1688B - establishing the rate of pay and benefits for the Unclassified Councilmember-Secretary positions. (Laid over from January 26) Councilmembers Megard and Blakey spoke against the resolution and corresponding Ordinance (C.F. 93-1689, #39 below). Councilmember Grimm referred to her letter of Feburary 22, 1994, to the Human Resources Office with regard to the possibility of the Office of Human Resources reviewing the classification and job duties of the secretaries in the Council offices in an objective manner. 6 Summary Minutes March 9, 1994 A response from LeeAnn Turchin, Human Resources, indicated that they will comply with the Council's wishes. It will take appro�cimately 120 days to provide the information including a survey with other governmental units on similar positions. � Discussion ensued. Pam Wheelock, Mayor's Office, stated that additional concerns or questions that Councilmembers may have could be routed through Council President Thune's Office. Councilmember Grimm moved to lay the resolution over to August 24. Roll Call Yeas 5 Nays - 2(Blakey, Megard) Councilmember Grimm moved to request that the Office of Human Resources proceed with a study of the Councilmember-Secretary positions. Roll Call Yeas - 5 Nays - 2(Blakey, Megard) 23. Resolution - 94-152 - approving the 1994-1995 Agreement between the City of Saint Paul and AFSCME, District Council 14, Local 2508. (Laid over from February 23) Councilmember Harris stated that he had discussions with staff from the Mayor's Office who were involved in labor negotiations. Issues discussed included cost comparisons, benefit packages, and mileage reimbursement. Harris read into the record a summary of the information he received from this discussion and said he had a concern with all three issues. Councilmember Rettman stated that the agreements were bargained. She suggested that at the next Finance and Budget Committee meeting, the parameters of the bargaining process could be reviewed. A closed session could then be requested to discuss strategy and the negotiators could be given certain criteria with which to bargain. If the new Administration and new Council has some parameters that they wish the negotiators to use in bargaining, clear direction should be given. Councilmember Rettman stated that everyone bargained in good faith and moved for approval. A brief discussion ensued. Adopted Yeas - 6 Nays- 1(Harris) 24. Resolution - 94-153 - approving the 1994-1995 Agreement between the City of Saint Paul and AFSCME, District Council 14, Local 1842. (Laid over from February 23) Councilmember Rettman moved approval.

Resolution - 94-259 - approving the transfer of funds from the City Clerk's Office to the Office of Human Resources. Councilmember Blakey questioned whether the individual who will be moving into the position to do minority recruiting has the appropriate background. Ms. Wheelock responded that Mr. Quintela, who will be �lling this position, is the person originally appointed by Mayor Coleman to the position of City Clerk. Due to various 7 Summary Minutes March 9, 1994 reasons, it became an issue of whether- a senior management position is still required in the City Clerk's Office. It is the Mayor's position that there is an issue in city government with regard to minority recruitment. He feels it is a higher priority to address the function of minority recruitment rather than the City Clerk position. The Mayor has high confidence in Mr. Quintela's ability to perform this function. After a brief discussion, Councilmember Rettman moved approval. Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays - 0 ORDINANCES 39.
