The new agreement would be a two year agreement again and does show an increased cost for each
year of service. Cocking inquired if there were alternative options. Nafstad stated assessing services
could be brought in house; similar to St. Michael, or contracted out with a private firm,but felt both
options would be a greater cost than the agreement with the county. Cocking then inquired if the
city charges back the assessment fee of$50/$100 for new construction homes on the building permit
and Nafstad replied they do not. Cocking questioned why the city should be funding the Assessing
Office's deficit, new software and copy equipment.

Olson questioned Public Works has some nine hour holidays and some eight hour holidays. Lannes
explained that is because they work nine hour days in the summer to get a half day on Friday and
then they return to eight hour days in the winter. He also inquired why City Hall didn't have holiday
time on Christmas Eve,but Public Works did. Lannes explained that is how vacation was divided
when City Hall went to ten hour days during the downturn. All employees receive a total of 88
holiday hours annually.
