1 Article XIX OCTOBER 8, 1975 The Clerk had contacted Anoka County asking if the City could participate in their hospitalization program and was told that the City cannot. Mr. Bastain asked the City to consider the Teamster's contract with Central State. Mr. Jaworski said that is an awfully expensive contract. The Council asked for a recess to consider an offer in this area. When the meeting resumed, Mr. Zelinka proposed the following: Hold on Section 16.1, accept Section 16.2, holidays to remain at 6 paid holidays, Section 19.1 out, Section 19.2 City will assume 25% of the total cost for Central State package contract for full time employees only. The Union asked for a recess to consider this. Section 16.1 - 12 days per year - no carryover; Section 16.2 Okay vacations per City's schedule; Section 17.2 - 30 days; Section 18.6 - Six days (holidays) with double pay for working on a holiday; Section 18.4 - Delete; Section 19.1 - Delete; City will pay approximately $46.20 per month per full time employee towards insurance. The Union will consider this proposal. Article XX The phrase 'consecutive working days' was added at the discretion of the employer. Article XXI Add 'less any compensation from worker's compensation.' Mr. McLean suggested thay any long term disability would also be deducted. Mr. Locher said that any long term illness would need to be substantiated by a medical report. The addition of the clause that 'the employer has the option to send employee to another doctor for verification of illness be allowed, and if employee refuses, this would disqualify that person for further payments.' Article XXIII Mr. McLean said after the initial issuance of uniforms, the second year allowance would be $85.00. There was some sug- gestion that the uniforms be replaced as needed. Mr. Marier felt that this could be misused. Mr. Zelinka said that damage could be done delibertly in order to certify a need for re- placement. Mr. Marier said if there is a dollar figure, then this could be budgeted. Hold on this by City request. Mr. Bastain skipped Articles XXIV & IIV and wnt to Article XXVI. There were no objections to this Article. Article XXVII The starting date was the questions. The contract would expire December 31, 1976. Mr. McLean asked the meaning of Article XXV. Mr. Bastain said this refers to credits in related police work courses taken and passed at colleges. Also, based on so many dollars per month for length of service. Mr. Marier said this he could not consider. He felt that this sort of benefits deteriorates a work force. He would recommend striking Article XXIV. The Union presented the following schedule for salaries for Council consideration. The starting date of this contract would be May 16, 1975. Mr. Marier asked if this meant retro- active pay. Mr. Bastain said, yes; except where otherwise agreed.
