CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION OF FIRE STEERING COMMITTEE REGARDING SEVERANCE.PAY -FOR PREVIOUS FIRE CHIEF Mr. Schumacher explained that the Centennial Fire District Steering Committee held a meeting on October 10, 1990 to discuss a request from former Fire Chief Archie Gay for additional compensation. The attorney for the Fire District reviewed Mr. Gay's request and it was his opinion that the request was not in order. The Committee prepared a recommendation that Mr. Gay be compensated with two (2) weeks severance pay. This recommendation is contingent upon Mr. Gay agreeing to drop all requests for further compensation. Council Member Neal explained that when Mr. Gay was hired as interim fire chief, he was told to keep record of all hours he worked beyond the agreed hours and he would be compensated for these hours at a later date. Council Member Neal noted other persons who attended that meeting and explained minutes were taken and should be referenced. Mr. Schumacher explained that the Fire District attorney looked at all of the minutes and determined that Mr. Gay was a salaried employee and not eligible for overtime compensation. Council Member Neal said this was not what the Fire District had agreed upon. He noted that this occurred the same evening that the Joint Powers Agreement was signed. Mayor Bisel noted that this City does not have a severance policy and asked if this would be creating such a policy. Mr.. Schumacher explained that former Chief Gay was not a City employee and this matter would not affect City policies. After discussing whether two (2) weeks pay was an appropriate severance pay, what rationale was used to determine the severance pay and whether or not the attorney for the District had received all relevant minutes, Council Member Neal moved to table this matter until all minutes are produced. Council Member Bohjanen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. STATUS REPORT ON OUTLOT F, RANDY SCHUMACHER Mr. Schumacher explained that a preliminary plat has been completed for Outlot F.
