CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION April 3, 2017 <br />APPROVED <br />171 <br />172 Administrator Karlson reviewed the history of the benefit (included in a handout). <br />173 Historically the benefit was granted through mediation. Non -union employees also <br />174 received the benefit to be fair. <br />175 <br />176 Council Member Rafferty remarked that, putting aside the union employees, he doesn't <br />177 see it's appropriate to grant this to directors. That level of employee is getting paid at a <br />178 higher salary and it's tied to getting their job done. <br />179 <br />180 Administrator Karlson suggested that he fears that type of change would send a message <br />181 of unfairness to some employees. <br />182 <br />183 Council Member Manthey suggested that the matter be discussed as policy and not <br />184 opinion. Without the factual information, it's hard for him to consider the subject matter. <br />185 <br />186 Mayor Reinert noted that he seconded having the discussion on the agenda. He doesn't <br />187 feel that having a discussion when there are questions is a bad idea. He wanted more <br />188 information because he didn't recall hearing of this practice for the employees. <br />189 <br />190 Council Member Maher suggested it isn't an unusual practice. <br />191 <br />192 The council concurred that the matter should be discussed, and questioned openly, but <br />193 with the information they need to properly review it. Administrator Karlson asked what <br />194 additional information the council would need. <br />195 <br />196 Council Member Manthey asked if there is a policy on now the comp time can be used. <br />197 Administrator Karlson replied that there is not a restriction; where he worked previously <br />198 there was a restriction of eight hours per pay period. It was clarified that there is not a <br />199 payment attached to the comp time and it disappears if not used within the year it's <br />200 earned. <br />201 11. Review Regular Agenda <br />202 <br />203 EDA Meeting — Community Development Director Grochala explained that the EDA <br />204 will be asked to transfer the land that is being considered for sale to the American Legion. <br />205 The land title would be transferred to the city since the EDA actually holds the property. <br />206 The action would move the title to the city for three lots. The council could then take <br />207 action later on the agenda to approve second reading of the ordinance providing for the <br />208 actual land sale. <br />209 <br />210 Item 4A, Police Division Staffing Study — Director Swenson explained that he had <br />211 requested funding for a professional staffing study but that was not included in the <br />212 approved city budget. He therefore looked at the use of forfeiture monies as a funding <br />213 source and he has verified that is a legal use of those funds. He proposes to hire <br />214 Springsted for a study, as outlined in the staff report. Mayor Reinert asked for more <br />
