RESOLUTION NO. 8693 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT LABOR SERVICES LOCAL 204 REGARDING HOLIDAY HOURS WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View entered into a labor agreement with Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) representing patrol officers and investigators (Local 204), valid from 2014 through the end of 2016; and, WHEREAS, the Labor Agreement, in Article 24, articulates the observed holidays and the number of total holiday hours (104 hours) but does not address how the hours are to be paid or used; and, WHEREAS, the past practice in the department is that the officers are provided a bank of holiday hours which are then used similar to vacation time, with the goal of using twenty-five percent of the banked hours each quarter; and, WHEREAS, the past practice has been that any holiday hours unused at year's end are forfeited, and, that any holiday hours accrued during field training may be used after successfully completing field training, however, there is no past practice to guide the City for holiday hours that cannot be used due to an officer being in field training; and, WHEREAS, Officer Sarah David will be unable to use holiday hours accrued in 2016 due to being in field training, thus the City and the Union prepared a Memorandum of Understanding to address the situation. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mounds View City Council does hereby approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding to address Officer David's accrued but unused 2016 holiday hours. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the holiday hours shall be paid out to Officer David upon successful completion of the field training program, at her then current hourly rate. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED THAT the Memorandum of Understanding shall not constitute a past practice and shall apply only to the one person in this one specific circumstance. Adopted this 3rd day of January 2017. 4141 Carol Mueller, Mayor ATTEST: James Ericson, City Administrator (seal)
