Special Meeting of the Holdingford City Council
December 21, 2016
The Special Meeting was called to order at 7:20 p.m. by Mayor Sue Marstein after interviews were completed for
the Maintenance Department job opening.
Present: Mayor Sue Marstein, Eric Berscheid, Mike Odden, Bob Sanchez, Alan Walz and Sandra Meer.
Five applicants were interviewed. Following discussion, Mike Odden made a motion to hire Steve Horvath with a
starting date of January 3, 2017. Eric Berscheid seconded the motion. AIF
Two changes on the union contract would be made to include “initial hires without wastewater certifications would
start at Level H Step 0, while working towards certification”; and remove wording to compensate Class A certified
operators at level K, since the city facilities only requires a Class B certified operator.
Because the city is in need of a certified wastewater operator, the council agreed to offer applicant Ryan Winters a
subcontracting agreement for wastewater certification sign-offs at $500/month which would require two hours on-
site per week.
Eric Berscheid made a motion to adjourn. Alan Walz seconded the motion. Meeting adjourned at 8:10pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Sandra Meer
Holdingford City Clerk-Treasurer
