         Kristen N. Wade, Civil Service Director, Dwana Thompson, EEO & Employee
         Relations Director, Frank Peterson, Muskegon City Manager, Oneata Bailey,

II.      MINUTES

            Motion was made by Commissioner Wendtland and seconded by
            Commissioner Spataro to approve the regular minutes of the December
            10, 2018 meeting.

                                                 Motion Carried.

III.     ACTION AGENDA

      A. Approve the following job descriptions: Housing Rehabilitation Inspector, Arena
         Maintenance Worker, Box Office Manager, Water & Sewer Maintenance Worker,
         Arena Finance Manager, Director of Public Works, Director of Municipal
         Services, Economic Development Director, and Director of Strategic Initiatives.
         Commissioner Wendtland asked how the Director of Public Works structures
         into the entire organization. City Manager, Frank Peterson responded that the
         Director of Engineering & Public Works and the Planning & Economic Director
         positions were combined into one position, Director of Public Works,
         approximately 3 years ago. Now Frank sees the need for those 2 positions to be
         separate again for more of a cohesive work environment. Commissioner
         Wendtland also asked about the urban planner degree as one of the possible
         Bachelor’s degrees regarding this position. Frank responded that he feels that
         the position is more about work force management and that the position could
         be held by someone with a different background other than engineering.
            Motion was made by Commissioner Wendtland and seconded by
            Commissioner Spataro to approve the Housing Rehabilitation Inspector,
            Arena Maintenance Worker, Box Office Manager, Water & Sewer
            Maintenance Worker, Arena Finance Manager, Director of Public Works,
            Director of Municipal Services, Economic Development Director, and
