It was reported that the Charter Commission's recommendations are in the final
stages and almost ready to be submitted to the League of Cities for review. The
City Council will receive a copy of the recommendations.
CITYQONNED PROPERTY
Discussion was given as to whether or not the City should sell the front por-
tion of the lot known as the "hole in the hill." It was determined to have the
City Engineer provide information on whether the parcel is sellable.
AGREEMENT BETYEEN POLICE CHIEF AND CITY COUNCIL TO RELEASE 'CHARGES'
The Police Commission Attorney, Gary L. Gandrud, presented a revised copy of the
proposed agreement to be signed by the City Council and Police Chief which would
release the "charges" against the Police Chief. Further, it was Attorney Gand-
rud's recommendation to hire an Administrative Law Judge to hear the case. The
Judge would then make a recommendation to the Commission, who in turn would make
the final decision on whether the findings warranted disciplinary action or
should be rejected.
Following discussion, Alderman Torgerson moved that the City Council be in
agreement to the hearing process and that the Mayor be directed to sign the
agreement. Motion seconded by Alderman Mikulecky and unanimously carried.
