The City Administrator presented a recommendation from the
Director of Utilities that the decision made in January of
1966 by the City Council, which authorized the City to effect
a local Medallion Home Program, be implemented ;by the adoption
of a Resolution whereby any developer whose construction
program meets the Bronze Medallion be reimbursed $50.00 per
unit, or, for the Gold Medallion, be reimbursed $200 per unit.
It was his opinion that the City should promote the use of
electricity in this manner and in this way would receive con-
siderably mute income over a period of years. The City
Administrator indicated that a Resolution had not been adopted
when the Medallion Home Program was established because con-
struction on the subdivision which had initiated this program
had been stopped. At that time there was no interest in the
PAGE 9
Gold Medallion Home Program and,therefore, no reimbursement fee
was set. However, Council had accepted the recommendation of
reimbursement fee of $50 per unit for the Bronze Medallion
Program.
Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councidman Cooney, and
unanimously carried to authorize the City Attorney to prepare
the necessary Resolution to establish the reimbursement rates
for the Gold and the Bronze Medallion Home Program.

that representatives of these various classifications be
involved in the discussions with the Personnel Board.
The City Administrator informed the Council that Mr. Carroll
Martin had been hired by the City as a temporary lineman
'during the absence of Mr. Kohout who is presently on
industrial accident leave. Because Mr. Martin is in a
temporary position, he is not paid for fringe benefits or
holidays. It appears that Mr. Martin -may seek other employ-
ment and the City has great difficulty in recruiting linemen;
therefore, it is recommended that Mr. Martin's salary be in-
creased from Range 28-A, Step 4, to Step 5 of same salary
range. This would help to retain Mr. Martin and not subject
the City to the necessity of recruiting an additional man in
a temporary position.
