LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 4-17-84 PAGE 6 C. 1984 Law Enforcement Services Contract with Washington County for police services in Lake Elmo. Klaers advised the Council that there is no change in the contract's language from the previous contract, but there is a modest increase in the total amount charged to Lake Elmo. The total contract is still within the budgeted amount in the City's 1984 budget, and recommended approval of this contract. M/S/P Mazzara/Morgan - To approve the 1984 Law Enforcement Service Contract with Washington County for police services in Lake Elmo as presented. (Motion carried 5-0) D. Speed limit resolution for Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17), south of the core village area. Larry Bousquet, Washington County Engineer, explained that all speed zoning in the state is established by the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation for the State of Minnesota. In order to get a speed limit changed, Mr. Bousquet suggested the City of Lake Elmo adopt a resolution requesting the County take the necessary action to lower this speed limit. Washington County, in turn, will make a request to the Commissioner. Mn/Dot then conducts a speed survey and determines a resonable speed. So regardless of what speed limit is requested, Mn/DOT will determine the speed limit. M/S/P Dunn/Mazzara - To adopt Resolution 84-32, a Resolution requesting Washington County to study the speed limit on CSAH 17, from 20th Street to the core village. (Motion carried 5-0) E. Personnel Policy: Minor revision relating to when employees can take vacation time. Klaers advised the Council that because of staff illness and staff turnover, one employee did not get all of the earned vacation time used within the calendar year. The personnel policy says that unless the employee receives Council approval, they must use all vacation time with one year. Because of the seasonal work and the small City Staff in Lake Elmo, this policy has not always been strictly enforced. Therefore, the staff would like to make an official change in the Policy to eliminate any future questions. After a brief discussion on the amount of time that should be allowed to be accumulated by an employee, and with the consensus of the Council being that the employees be encouraged to take their earned vacation within the calendar year when possible, the following action was taken. M/S/P Fraser/Morgan - to approve a minor revision in the personnel Policy allowing employees to accumulate up to thirty days vacation and removing the requirement for employees to take all accumulated vacation time within one year. (Motion carried 5-0)
