  4. 3Staff Recommendation for the Front Desk Receptionist Position

    Staff recommendation for the Front Desk Receptionist position.

    Council discussed staff's recommendation to hire Kim Miller as the part-time front desk receptionist, including concerns about nepotism because she is the Fire Chief's wife. The discussion noted she would report to City Clerk Johnson and would not handle fire department matters. Council approved the hire at $20 per hour, with an increase to $21 per hour after the probationary period.

    Council approved hiring Mrs. Miller for the Front Desk Receptionist position.

  5. 4Discussion of Nowthen Recycling Center Weekend Hours

    Discussion of Nowthen Recycling Center weekend hours.

    Council considered a staff request for a second person at the Recycling Center on Saturdays, with estimated staffing costs discussed in the packet and minutes. After discussing staffing levels, safety, service levels, and budget impact, Council chose not to simply add every-Saturday coverage. Instead, Council kept Tuesday and Thursday hours from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., changed Saturday service to the first and third Saturdays of the month with both employees working, directed notice to be posted, and planned to revisit holiday cardboard demand in December and the schedule again by April 4, 2026.

    Council changed Saturday recycling center service to the first and third Saturdays of the month with both employees working, kept Tuesday and Thursday hours, required public notice, and set the issue for review in December and again by April 4, 2026.

Prior history on this business

  • On June 10, 2025, the city council approved resolution 2025-64 establishing an ad-hoc committee for the purpose of discussing the renovation of the Nowthen Veterans Memorial.

    — Council Member Mary Rainville

    What this is about
    Prior council action establishing the ad-hoc Veterans Memorial Renovation Committee.

    p. 2September 29, 2025 PacketOn June 10, 2025, the city council approved resolution 2025-64 establishing an ad-hoc committee for the purpose of discussing the renovation of the Nowthen Veterans Memorial.

    Related history

    The records searched show a partial match. A later staff summary in the January 13, 2026 packet lists “Created an ADHOC committee for the Nowthen Veterans Memorial” among 2025 accomplishments, which supports that such a committee had been created. However, the search results provided do not include the June 10, 2025 meeting record, Resolution 2025-64, or a recorded vote establishing the committee. The related project appears again in a March 10, 2026 Veterans Memorial update, which included preliminary renovation costs totaling $47,772 in materials/labor, $7,620 in donations, and a final estimated cost of $41,122.

  • As approved in Resolution 2024-97, non-city staff committee members are eligible to receive a $40.00 stipend per meeting attended which will be paid at the conclusion of the committee.

    — Council Member Mary Rainville

    What this is about
    Prior council action on committee member stipends.

    p. 2September 29, 2025 PacketAs approved in Resolution 2024-97, non-city staff committee members are eligible to receive a $40.00 stipend per meeting attended which will be paid at the conclusion of the committee.

    Related history

    The records I searched do not contain Resolution 2024-97 or a prior council decision matching the recollection about a $40 per-meeting stipend for non-city staff committee members. The search results are mostly unrelated 2026 packet excerpts on development approvals and other resolutions. One partial item is the March 10, 2026 consent agenda, which included approval of Resolution 2026-17 “Approving the Planning and Zoning Commission Policy,” but the excerpt does not mention stipends, committee compensation, Resolution 2024-97, or any vote details on that subject.

    — Council Member Rainville

    What this is about
    Council Member Rainville referred to her previous nepotism concerns in relation to city hiring without council knowledge.

    p. 1September 29 2025 Signed MinutesCouncil Member Rainville stated that her past concerns about nepotism were primarily when staff was hired without council knowledge.

    Related history

    The records I searched do not contain a prior decision matching Council Member Rainville’s recollection about nepotism concerns tied to staff being hired without council knowledge. The closest search hits involve appointments or other unrelated council business. For example, at the April 14, 2026 meeting, the Council approved appointing Michael Hoium to the Planning and Zoning Commission on a 3–2 vote, with Council Member Rainville voting yes. That record concerns a commission appointment, not a staff hiring issue, and it does not mention nepotism or hiring without council knowledge.

    — Council Member Breyen

    What this is about
    Council Member Breyen recalled a prior Recycling Center schedule with four days per week and one staff person.

    p. 2September 29 2025 Signed MinutesCouncil Member Breyen provided background that previously the recycling center was open 4 days a week with one person, but now operates 2 days with 2 people, and the job description doesn't require 2 people at the center.

    Related history

    The records I searched do not contain a prior decision matching Council Member Breyen’s recollection that the Recycling Center previously operated four days per week with one staff person. The only Recycling Center references in these results concern a Girl Scout flag-retirement receptacle being placed inside the Recycling Center, discussed in the March 10, 2026 minutes and included in the April 14, 2026 packet. Those records do not describe Recycling Center operating days, staffing levels, or a formal vote changing the schedule or job description.
