62 January 23, 1978 Mr. Hillyer said it takes approximately 2;2- to 3 years to attain these hours. He said there are three prior cases_ in which part time hours were used to compute vacation time. Mr. Zelinka said a full time officer would get the 40 hours off with pay, a part time employee, at approximately 10 hours per week, would need to take four weeks off, without pay. Mr. Hillyer said he had no intention of taking the time off. The current schedule in the Police Department could not be worked around such time off. Mr. Schneider felt the purpose of a vacation is for the employee to have the time off. Part time personnel is not considered for vacation since this is usually an extra job. Mr. McLean felt that vacation pay for part time employees constitutes bonus for com- pleting the 2080 hours. Sone concessions were made at the time the department was set up. Mr. Zelinka felt this vacation pay should be allowed, but would this create more problems in the future? Mr. McLean wondered how this would affect the part time maintenance men? Mr. Locher said that Mr. Smythe had recommended to wait and see how the negotiations wnet - he felt the contract was unclear and a point for arbritation. Mr. Smythe had suggested that for part time employees, this time be pro -rated in ratio to the hours worked. Mr. Locher was asked if this matter will be considered at the mediation hearing and he said, No, since this matter is already certified for arbritation. Mr. Zelinka asked, if any action by this Council would have any effect on the negotiations and Mr. Locher said, No. Whatever decision is made will only apply to this contract. This contract can be re- worded. Mr. Zelinka moved to approve the two weeks vacation pay for Mr. Ross, Jr. and Mr. Hillyer based on the present contract and this be a matter for future discussion. Seconded by Mr. McLean. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Locher said he needed the records on the Police Department that the Clerk has and needs someone to introduce the evidence to the mediator. He would like to meet with whomever is going with hime before the hearing. Mr. Zelinka and Mr. Karth felt they would be free to attend the hearing and Mr. Schneider thought he could attend. Mr. McLean presented the actions from the Planning and Zoning Board meeting held on January 18, 1978. Mr. Menkveld's plat, 'Forest Glen, did not have all the documentation necessary and some of the lots are not large enough. The Planning and Zoning had not received the required recommendations from the Park Board. This matter will be on the February agenda. Ulmer's Rice Lake Addition #2 was considered and all documentation was available. The Planning and Zoning recommended approval of the preliminary plat. Mr. McLean so moved. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. McLean moved to set the public hearing for February 13, 1978 at 9:15 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Zelinka. Motion carried unanimously.
