t54 August 11, 1980 The matter of the Personnel Policy written by Mr. Mike Johnson was considered. Mr. Johnson presented the reasons why this document was written. The existing ordinance are outdated, this gives the Council a set of guidelines to follow. Mrs. Elsenpeter felt that one of the items omitted is provisions for Maternity Leave. She also felt that there should be provisions for new Fathers to take one or two days leave at this time to be taken from sick leave. She also felt that there should be some allowance for sick leave to be taken when a child is ill. Mr. McLean felt that some of the references for Council actions, should be the respon- sibility of the City Administrator - in the area of demotion and firing. Mr. Johnson pointed out this is not part of Mr. Schumacher's job description. It was pointed out that the Council does the hiring and firing. Mr. McLean felt that the area of demotion should be handled by the City Administrator. Mr. Jaworski said he would like more time to read this document. Mr. Jaworski moved to table consideration of this Personnel Policy until the next Council Meeting. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher presented his report. Mr. Locher reported on the notice of cancellation of the unsurance coverages at the Woodshed. He had contacted the insurance agent a and said he would notify this City if the premium is paid and cocerage reinstated.

Mayor Gourley said this notice was received on the 6th - when does the 10 day period end? Mr. Locher said this does not include the day it was dreceived, this would indicate taht the insurance will expire at midniglt on Saturday, August 16, 1980.
