be used only when t:he City encounters a large <br />unforeseen problem and the money would then be <br />available. The concept is good but Sackett is <br />concerned over the performance appraisal process <br />as it is a very dii:ficult thing to establish <br />performance by an objective system. Parts of the <br />study seems valuab:Le to Sackett, other parts do <br />not. The fact that it is too much money and that <br />it is not in the budget are reasons Sackett does <br />not favor the study. <br />Mayor Fauson reiterated that one of Council's <br />concerns and goals was the improvement of employee <br />morale and this would be one way to accomplish a <br />fair and equitable means of compensation. <br />Szymanski asked what the on-going features of this <br />study provided. Asti-Caranci stated that this <br />study leaves the City with an entire audit trail <br />and all work will be done on the City's computer <br />and staff will be grained to continue with <br />updating the study. <br />Asti-Caranci stated. that the results of the study <br />and recommended implementation will be brought <br />back to Council for analysis. <br />Mohr asked if parts of this study could be cut as <br />was Sackett's concerns or if that would undermine <br />the end results of the survey.

However, <br />at the time construction bids were received and <br />overall project cost identified, it was determined <br />that asphalt paving was not within the financial <br />limits given for the project. The overall project <br />cost identified various components of the project <br />such as architectural fees, payment to utility <br />companies, cost to install water and sewer <br />services, cost to install waterlines, and similar <br />items. Now that the project is nearly complete, a <br />review of the actual cost indicates that projected <br />expenses will not be as great as originally <br />8 <br />
