• The meeting was attended by Mayor Kennedy, Councilmen Nystul, Saverud and
Hopkins, D.P.W. Hammer and C/T Halver.
Councilman Nystul said he had requested the C ornittee discuss how the
departure of Andy Hyde affects the Wastewater Treatment Plant and the need to
address phosphorus removal. He asked if the committee wants to do anything.
He said he had hoped the Public Works Oximittee would meet and do something
but in their absence he had called this committee meeting.
Mayor Kennedy said he hadn't received official notice from Andy and. therefore
couldn't do anything yet.
Nystul said we are looking at a substantial project for modification of the
Treatment Plant and we are losing someone with a Masters in Wastewater
Engineering and we have a pressing wastewater egnineering project and hie
wondered if we should do something to try to keep him for a year or two.
Councilman Saverud said we should discuss some options with Andy if he's
willing.
Councilman Hopkins said he would like to see him stay but his salary
should stay within the confines of the salary matrix.
Nystul suggested the Mayor and Council President meet with him and see if
• there is a reasonable way of getting Andy Hyde to consider staying.
Council President Saverud said he would not be available this week.
Mayor Kennedy said he has some ideas but he thought the timing ma}:es it a moot
point.
The committee agreed to have the Mayor meet with Andy Hyde and see if there
are any options available to keep hum and then report back to the Catmi ttee
on Monday October 3, 1988.
Councilman Saverud suggested the committee ask D.P.W. Hammer and the Mayor
develop a staffing proposal and project concerns and reccimiendations and
report to the committee.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 pm.
