until the fund is depleted.

2. Approval of Job Description--Grant& Special Projects Coordinator(E)
Approval of Job Description-- Grant& Special Projects Coordinator. The 2015 budget includes
funding for a new position in the Administration Department. Following all of the conversation and
work that has been done on the City's organizational structure this year, and looking at the priorities
and needs moving forward,the job title of"Grants& Special Projects Coordinator" is being
recommended instead, as it would best represent the responsibilities of the position.
Research into other cities with a dedicated grants coordinator suggests that significant success in
obtaining grants can be achieved within a few years of creating such a position,particularly in the
public safety field. The proposed new position would be responsible for assisting all departments
with the research and coordination that goes into a grant application, as well as the record keeping
and reporting that is required once a grant has been obtained. The position would also provide
assistance to the City Administrator and Assistant City Administrator on a variety of special projects
and initiatives and serve as a back-up to the Communications Coordinator during busy times.
Cncl.Luce questioned if it was possible to set a goal for the person in this new position to
accomplish within the year.Mr.Reynolds replied that he does not feel that it would be possible to set
such a goal.He stated that the person in this position will need to spend time determining what grants
are available,and working through the application process.He added that part of the evaluation
process will include reviewing accomplishments throughout the year.
Cncl. Lehman asked if there will be enough work to keep the person in this position busy,or if it
would be a shared position.Mr. Reynolds stated that he feels there will be more than enough work
and special projects for the position.
Discussion:
Mayor Table stated that he feels this new position will be very beneficial to the City.
Moved by Councilmember Jay Whiting,Seconded by Councilmember Mike Luce to approve the

home to install the liner.
