Minutes-7 /11/1990 (2)

Motion Slaymaker second Brown to approve agenda. Carried unanimously. Motion Morgan second Bartels to approve minutes of regular meeting June 13, 1990 and special meetings July 22 and 27, 1990. Carried unanimously. Scheetz was absent so no decision was made on request to build dike on north side of trailer court. Hart reported that Scheetz has hired an engineer. Hart stated that a dike should not be a problem for the rest of the town if drainage is installed properly. Hart will supervise project on behalf of city council. Greenleaf stated that all improvements in flood plain are subject to permit from city and DNR requirements. Al Barnes reported that the flood water was 10 1/2 inches above the 100 year flood plain mark. Hart reported that the flood plain study was done in 1983 and there have probably been restrictions upstream. It might need to be readjusted. Greenleaf presented flood plain development ordinance which would pertain to all structures, dike included. When any new mobile homes are moved in they have to get a permit and meet ordinance standards. Council consensus to set $35.00 permit fee. If someone requires a building permit also, only the higher fee would be assessed. Only one inspection would be needed. Any building in the court which is being repaired more than 50% of its value needs a permit, also. The owner of the court is responsible for obtaining the permits. Council asked attorney to check on definition of "permanent foundation" in FLOOD PLAIN MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE. A FLOOD PLAIN DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE was introduced by Brown. Motion Brown second Slaymaker to place ordinance upon first reading. Roll call vote: Brown, aye; Bartels, aye; Morgan, aye; Slaymaker, aye; Stoner, aye. Carried unanimously. Attorney read ordinance. Motion Morgan second Brown to waive three readings of ordinance. Roll call vote: Bartels, aye; Brown, aye; Morgan, aye; Slaymaker, aye; Stoner, aye. Carried unanimously. Motion Brown second Slaymaker to place ordinance upon final passage and adoption. Roll call vote: Bartels, aye; Brown, aye; Morgan, aye; Slaymaker, aye; Stoner, aye. Mayor Potter declared Ordinance No. 1990-168 duly passed and adopted. Clerk reported that Bob Herring, Jr. worked 29 1/2 hours removing sandbags and mowing during the last two weeks in June. Council consensus to employ him until the next meeting with another review. Greenleaf reported that the positions of grounds maintenance/utility director and clerk-treasurer are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act and that city is required to pay overtime or give compensation time at time and one-half with a two year limit on claims to recover wages. Hourly rate may be figured by dividing number of hours worked per week by 1/52 of the salary or may figure hourly rate by figuring a 40 hour work week. Council consensus not to use this method because it would reduce the hourly rate. Clerk reported that the grounds maintenance/utility director has always kept track of own hours, including sick leave and vacation time. Potter stated that he's asked Bob Herring to take compensation time in the past, but
