Only one of the three full-time firemen, Stanley Schultz, will
be entitled to severance pay. Bertrand Slama, who reached the
age of 65 earlier this year, will be retiring; therefore, he
will not be involved. Herbert Nelson resigned as of November 30,
prior to abolition of the job.
The severance pay will be based on the length of service of
Stanley Schultz. It was computed as follows: 15.00 a year
for each year of service as a full-time paid fireman with
the 9'illage of Falcon Heights.
Mr. Prifrel said that severance pay is usually given at the
rate~~~of one week's pay for each year. He had hoped that the
Council would come up with this Figure. Mr. Seed stated that
there was no pattern; the Council had come to this figure
under what was considered fair and just.
Ecklurid asked Mr. Prifrel if Stanley Schultz would finish the
year if a severance plan could be worked out.
Mr. Prifrel went to confer with Stanley and upon returning asked
the Council if they could come up with half of his weekly salary.
Mr. Stone: Assuming that Peter (Seed) can work out the fraction,
it is ~ understanding that if we were to give Stan severance
pay for his sixteen years of service, that would be the only
request, no sick leave?
