SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1978
The special meeting of the City Council was called to order at 8:00 A.M. by
Mayor Black. Those present were Aldermen Westlund, Gruenhagen, and K. Peterson
in addition to Mayor Black. Absent was Alderman B. Peterson. Also present was
Administrative Assistant Plotz.
Alderman Westlund reported on a meeting held February 3, 1978 with David Krause,
Liquor Store Manager, Gary Plotz, Hazel Sitz, and himself, at which time Mr.
Krause submitted his resignation.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman K.
Peterson, to accept the resignation of David Krause, Liquor Store Manager, in
accordance with the terms agreed upon by Alderman Westlund, Administrative Assis-
tant Plotz, Personnel Coordinator Sitz, and Mr. Krause. Motion unanimously car-
ried.
It was suggested by Alderman Westlund to consider several present City employees
as possibilities for the position of Manager. There were two employees who had
applied when the position was advertised last summer. It was further recommended
by Alderman Westlund to give consideration to appointing Ralph Neumann in charge
of the revenue-producing agencies of the City and act as administrative manager
of the Liquor Store in addition to Coordinator of the Civic Arena. This position
would involve purchasing and promoting for the Liquor Store as well as scheduling
of employee work hours. Since Mr. Neumann would not be at the Liquor Store on a
full-time basis, it would be necessary to have an Assistant Manager.
Following further discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund to appoint Ralph
Neumann as Manager of the Liquor Store in addition to his duties at the Civic
Arena. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion carried unanimously.
There being no further business to come before the Council at this time, the meet-
ing was adjourned at 8:40 A.M.
