Minutes of February 2, 2011 meeting
Paul:  add to ground water testing, “in FY13.”  Greg moves to adopt minutes with amendment; Mike, seconds.  All approve.

DRC Manager report
 Dmitry doing fine.  Paul will be back in Gustavus March 9, but will be in Europe April 13—May 1. Paul will present draft budget towards end of March to committee.  Budget due 4/4.

Trash at dock
DOT does not want trash receptacles on dock, island, ferry terminal, or within state road ROW. Public receptacles are misused and become a burden to the department.  Suggest you use City property and check daily.
Post sign asking people to take out what they bring in, because there are no receptacles.
Greg will look at plat of dock area when he gets back.  Will talk to DNR.
Would be good to have signs about no trash receptacles, and DRC location and hours.  Greg will draft language for sign.

Discussion of budget
Credit card possibility:  purchase of terminal, bank fees.  Need to do more research.
$300 donation went to freight
Added money to payroll, hopes to have someone there in May to help him
Motion by Greg to approve NCO without credit card fees/terminal.  Mike seconds.  Unanimous.

Discussion of pay raise for occasional part-time employee position.
Motion by Greg to raise this pay rate by 0.50/hour.  May be increased in FY12 pending policy development by City Council.  Karen seconds.

Agreed to meet in last week of March.
