MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 11, 2016 2016 GOAL The City Administrator stated that the Council approved a $30,000 SETTING reduction in the Parks & Recreation 2016 budget, and staff would SESSION determine how to do that. He stated that the Parks & Recreation Director has proposed to do a phased retirement option with PERA and become fully retired by the end of 2016. The City Administrator noted that the Parks & Recreation Director has proposed to work full-time in January and February 2016, then reduce his hours to half-time beginning March 1, 2016. The City Administrator also recommends continuing the Director's health insurance benefits on the same basis as if he were on full-time status for three additional months, through May 31. 2016. He noted that the cost savings with this proposal is more than the $30,000 that the Council planned for, but there will be costs associated with hiring a replacement and termination benefit payments to the retiring Director.
