12/09/1985 - City Council SpecialMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR & CITY COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES DATE: DECEMBER 9, 1985 SUBJECT: SPECIAL JOINT CITY COUNCIL/ADVISORY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING A special joint City Council/Advisory Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for this Thursday, December 12, 1985, at 7.00 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to review the Blackhawk Park Planned Unit Development revisions that were submitted by Ed Dunn. Mr. Dunn was late in submitting his information to the City staff; however, the Planning Department has compiled some information and reviewed the proposed plan which is submitted for review and consideration. Also attached is information regarding the Comprehensive Guide update for commercial/industrial land inventory. There is no procedure for evaluating specific land -use changes and it will be necessary for the Planning Commission and City Council to discuss a procedure in which requests for land -use changes can be further evaluated. The City Planner and his staff are well aware of City Attorney Hauge's conference with our special legal counsel, Dave Sellegren regarding the O'Neil vs City of Eagan case. Apparently and according to our City Attorney, the City staff should not discuss land -use alternatives for the O'Neil property with Mr. O'Neil or his representatives until we are given further notice pending the lawsuit of O'Neil vs the City of Eagan. This is the specific direction our special legal counsel has given the City. It may be appropriate for our City Attorney to comment at the joint meeting on Thursday so the Planning Commission is aware of this action. OTHER CITY COUNCIL BUSINESS The City Administrator would like some time with the City Council to discuss salary adjustments .for 1986. Control Data Associates should have comparable worth study results ready for each member- ship jurisdiction by December 31. Due to a required time for review, the comparable worth results comparing all positions within the City of Eagan .will not be available for implementation until March or possibly April. Most communities are anticipating cost of living and external adjustments January 1, 1986. It appears that the cost of living range is 3.5% to approximately 5%, with the majority of communities proposing salary adjustments between 4 and 4.5%. The City Administrator will be talking to the Chairman of the Personnel Committee about implementation of a multi -step plan that was proposed by -the Arthur Young Company. A repot and update will be available for Thursday. The update will also include a summary of union negotiations. GN� �4c;f� City Administrator
