City Administrator Report.
Follow-up on Performance Measurement Program.Administrator Derus explained he found nothing that would prevent the State Auditor or media from using the data submitted to compare cities and services. Kasel said he was hesitant to participate in the program, since the survey results would not be very reliable. (Marx in). Derus said there is nothing further that is required of the city this year, the survey results and other information are not needed until 2012. The council decided to revisit whether to participate in the program or opt out once staff begins compiling the information.
CircusDuring Daze & Knights. Derus informed the council the Daze & Knights committee tentatively scheduled a circus during the city festival this year, but because of criticism received last time a circus was in St. Michael, the committee wanted to make sure council was okay with it. Kasel acknowledged the council does not approve other events scheduled as part of Daze & Knights; therefore, approval is not necessary for the circus. The council was not opposed to having the circus in St. Michael again. A lot of residents liked the circus last time it was in St. Michael.
Approval of Claims.Council Members Marx/Westonmoved to approve checks #30853-30918,credit card transactions, and July dental premiums in the amount of $276,382.90. All voted aye.
