1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 13, 1995 <br />Mr. Tesch presented a copy of the proposed ordinance along with a summary of changes <br />made to the policy. There are no new benefits included in the document that are not <br />already in place for certain other employee groups. Staff is proposing a new portion of <br />the policy which is the pro -rata extension of paid leave benefits to regular part-time <br />employees who work a minimum of 40 hours a pay period. Extension of benefits to these <br />workers would have cost the City $1,100.00 in 1995. <br />Mr. Tesch noted that the updated policy is modeled after a number of other metropolitan <br />municipalities. He explained that this matter will be discussed again at the next Council <br />work session prior to the second reading of Ordinance No. 22 - 95. <br />Council Member Bergeson asked about the threshold for full time benefits and asked Mr. <br />Tesch to check with the League of Minnesota Cities to determine if the Lino Lakes <br />approach to this matter is how most communities handle these benefits. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to adopt the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 22 - <br />95. Council Member Elliott seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />CONSIDERATION OF A CITY LOGO, DAN TESCH <br />Mr. Tesch explained that one of the recommendations from the recent 20/20 Vision <br />program was that the City try and make its symbols and logos uniform. It was further <br />recommended that the City adopt or re -adopt the Blue Heron as part of the official logo. <br />The Blue Heron design being considered is one developed by the City's Economic <br />Development Department. The logo would be used on letterhead, water towers and other <br />logical places. <br />Council Member Kuether asked what would be the cost of changing the logo. Mr. <br />Ahrens said he did not know the cost, however, where the City logo is required on such <br />fixtures as the water tower, the logo would be bid separately. <br />Mayor Reinert said he felt that the new logo would give a uniform identity to the City. <br />Council Member Elliott moved to adopt the Blue Heron as part of the City logo for <br />application to letterhead, signs, water towers, etc. Council Member Bergeson seconded <br />the motion. <br />Ms. Sullivan, from the audience, congratulated Mr. Tesch for following through on this <br />recommendation from the 20/20 Vision group. <br />Voting on the motion, motion carried unanimously. <br />Page 7 <br />
