She stated Resolution 2016-023 presented an important contract change to the City Manager's employment agreement that affected future budgets. She felt the proposed amendments were unclear and confusing. Griswold did not feel it was clearly stated that the proposed wage increase was already included in the budget. It should be clear this amendment raised his salary, including his severance pay. She stated the breakdown of costs was missing and thought council could consider postponing the resolution to allow for revision. She thanked the council for recognizing the City Manager was engaged in another business, but said allowing for it was a slippery slope. Griswold emphasized now was not the time for raises. Tim McDonald gave council an update as the city's representative on the Cook Inlet Aquaculture Association(CIAA). He stated Alaska Board of Fisheries Proposition 203, to expand emergency order authority to close sport fishing in special harvest areas if hatchery cost recovery goals could not be met,was denied unanimously.McDonald was asking for a discussion of a Seward salmon rehabilitation plan to be placed on an upcoming agenda to approve the first step which was the rehabilitation of Grouse Lake.

Y sk Motion to Amend Passed Y=N' Unanimous Keil spoke in support of this increase and listed many of the accomplishments achieved by the City Manager. Keil said the city code allowed outside employment with clearance through the supervisor and the City Manager. Since the council supervised the City Manager,it made sense they could allow for the ing4Ner to operate a business outside of his contract. 1F.

INFORMATIONAL ITEMS AND REPORTS Providence Seward Medical and Care Center Financial Reports through December, 2015 and January, 2016. COUNCIL COMMENTS Keil said there were opportunities available to serve on Seward Community Health Center board sub-committees without being an actual board member. It was a good way to volunteer and provide input. She reminded the public there was one vacant seat of the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission. Keil thanked the Seward Volunteer Fire Department for the invitation to their annual awards banquet,1ast,,Saturday. It,was always great to see the families and the volunteers of the community, ' ' ' f</S:.; Squires thanked McDonald for his handout tonight.He wondered if the Department of Fish and Game,tested the fish id.Resurrection Bay. Long did not know, but knew the sewage lagoon facility continued to be compliant with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. Squires had a'good time at the firefighter awards banquet last weekend and congratulated those who received awards at it. McClure thanked the Volunteer Fire Department for their banquet last weekend. It was nice to attend. She noted the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly would be in Seward on April 19,2016 for a meeting. She hoped the public would plan to go see the"Peter Pan"production,it was the first musical produced in Seward in a long time. McClure thanked everyone for coming out to the marijuana work session tonight. It was the beginning stage to the discussion and something she felt the city waited the right amount of time before talking about. Butts let council know he would not be at the March 29,2016 City Council meeting. He did not get a chance to attend the last Kenai Peninsula Economic Development District meeting, but there was a meeting scheduled for March 15, 2016 that he planned to attend. Butts congratulated City of Seward,Alaska City Council Minutes March 14, 2016 Volume 40, Page Austin Chapman who was awarded Firefighter of the Year and Devin Loomis who received the Community Service Award. He thanked Squires and Long for their input on the marijuana regulations. Long agreed the timing was right to discuss and adopt any extra regulations regarding marijuana. He appreciated the public showing up and participating at the work session tonight. Bardarson thanked administration and the attorneys on the work session packet tonight. She also thanked the Volunteer Fire Department for their wonderful banquet. Bardarson thanked the volunteers, but also their families for their sacrifices when someone responds to emergency calls. CITIZEN COMMENTS Carol Griswold thanked everyone for the endless meetings they all,attended as council members and staff. She applauded their diligence in attendance and participation. Griswold expressed disappointment in her sending out emails to council and not receiving acknowledgement of receipt. She would appreciate knowing they received her emails. She stated the issues she had been speaking of regarding the City Manager's contract and employee issues were difficult things to say. Others were afraid to speak up, but this was a real issue. Bullying needed to be addressed as it was a serious issue. She said employees;were the city's most important asset. There should be a confidential way for past and present employees to express concerns. She stated the minutes that referenced her comments at the last meeting were softened and she was disappointed that no one agreed to change the minutes to reflect what she really said. Griswold thanked council again for all that they did. COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATION RESPONSE TO CITIZEN COMMENTS Keil said she had spoken with Griswold about her concerns in the past and she said the grievance process was in place to address these types of concerns. Squires stated he received Griswold's emails. He thanked her for bringing these items to their attention. He had been asking employees who had left or who were leaving and didn't get verifiable reasons as to why they were parting ways with the city. Butts admonished everyone out there and asked that if there was anything for council to address, to please pass that information along through the City Clerk. He also asked for the public and staff to please make sure to address council members in the proper form. Long encouraged people to contact council members, but reminded the public the council dealt with administrative matters only.The city had a professional human resources officer bound by propriety law and code, and there were bounds on what they could report. It was improper to share every personnel finding in a public manner. Personnel matters should remain private unless otherwise directed. Administration took these allegations very seriously.
