Reclassification
Diane Thorson and Chuck Kitzman, representing the Reclassification Committee, indicated
they had received a request for a reclassification in the Data Processing Department.
It was the Committee's recommendation that there be three levels of programmers within
the Department with position titles changed to Programmer I, II and III.
During the process, a reclassification was recommended to change the Information
Specialist, Range 13 to Programmer I, Range 14 effective July 1, 1992.
Positions renamed, but not affected by range changes:
Programmer, Range 15, to Programmer II and Programmer/Analyst, Range 17, to
Programmer III. The number of employees in each of these classifications, it was
pointed out by Thorson, was a matter for the Department Head and the Board. It was
indicated that the position of systems Administrator, currently a Range 15, would be
reviewed as the result of this reclassification.
Motion by Lee, seconded Windels and unanimously carried to approve the above as
presented.

505.174 through 505.177, Laws of Minnesota, Terry Lee Anderson, the undersigned, a
Registered Land Surveyor in and for the State of Minnesota declares as follows:
(1) The subdivision plat of Pancratz Beach was prepared by Martin A. Alberg, a Civil
Engineer, of whom is retired from surveying practice. His whereabouts is unknown
and he may be deceased.

of the County Recorder in and for Otter Tail County, Minnesota and was recorded in

A sliver of land was inadvertently omitted from the boundaries of this plat, which
lies between the actual shoreline of Big Pine Lake and the described easterly
boundary of the plat. All lot lines are to be extended easterly to intersect the
shoreline of Big Pine Lake. The original plat called out the shoreline, but when
the legal description was prepared the surveyor described his survey line just
westerly of the shoreline. Also, the legal description of the outside boundaries
of the plat starts from an unfixed position. Also, the outside boundary line
contains several errors in both angle and distance calls to fit what actually lays
on the ground. (See Exhibit A)
(4) That the following legal description is a correct representation of the boundaries
of Pancratz Beach and is to replace the legal description as shown on the plat.
