Approval of the Minutes of the January 20, 2014 and January 14, 2014 Personnel Committee Minutes: Motion by Bare, seconded by Yurs, to approve the minutes of the January 20, 2014 Personnel Committee meeting. Motion carried 3-0. 4. A Proposed General/Utility Accountant Position in the Administration/Finance Department Mr. Burns presented a recommendation to authorize the creation of an Accountant position in the Administration/Finance Department. This position would perform accounting functions for the City’s utilities and also assist with general accounting duties and serve as a back-up for other department staff. The funding for the position would come from the City’s utility budgets for the remainder of 2014. The allocations of Finance staff to the TIF Districts and utilities would be re-evaluated as part of the 2015 budget process. Based on the total Finance staff time involved with the utilities, staff feels that the overall allocations are justified. Ms. Engelke added that she had discussed the proposed position with the City’s utility audit partner and that he was supportive and felt that the allocations were appropriate. Motion by Yurs, seconded by Doyle, to recommend that the City Council authorize the creation of an Accountant position and to approve the position description for this position.
