C 4 Rte. , <br /> hours,times half, equals 480 hours. YYY— � — A ,, <br /> Mr. Whiting (inaudible). <br /> Mr. Stigney stated another memo we have, February 16, from Cari Schmidt stated, sick leave, <br /> severance pay shall be granted in the amount of 50%to employees who have completed 10 years of <br /> service,maximum accumulation of sick leave is 120 days,and that is 960 hours. Additional banked <br /> sick leave hours will not be computed in severance pay. From there on, we are looking at <br /> alternatives to somehow cover the Chief under the union negotiation where it states right in here <br /> although Chief Ramacher is not under the union,he would like to unify the provision for severance <br /> pay. He is not a member of that union, he is not paying dues in that union, and Mr. Stigney stated <br /> he does not know why he would suddenly fall under the blanket of that provision. Once he went <br /> from patrol officer to Police Chief,it would seem to me that he changed his provision, and no longer <br /> was a union employee,he became an exempt management employee. He would fall under the 960 <br /> hours maximum. It should be the $15,000 he is entitled to. <br /> Mr. Long stated in Section 301.02, subdivision 3, it specifically states that this title personnel shall <br /> not be applicable to policeman or officers of the police department. Mr. Long asked does this mean <br /> that the Police Chief who is not a policeman or an officer,but is Chief,that meant that he is excluded <br /> or does it mean that he is not a policeman or an officer per se, being a patrol officer. There is <br /> vagueness here, from the way you calculate severance to the way that you look at discipline is not <br /> applying to the police department because that is technically under jurisdiction of your Police Civil <br /> Service Commission. The Commission was established in a 1988 code, Section 30.01. <br /> Mr. Marty would like to postpone 9A to the next meeting because obviously there is a gray area that <br /> we need to sort out, so we can't make a decision one way or the other, until some of this has been <br /> sorted out. <br /> Mr. Marty would like to work this out in the next work session. <br /> Mr. Braesemle stated he was not going to be able to attend that work session, he would like the <br /> Council to consider Chief Ramacher patrol as an officer perhaps he should be considered under the <br /> same rules as the officers are considered under rather than a management standpoint. <br /> Mr. Quick pointed out this individual here has accumulated 2680 hours. By going to 1800 hours, <br /> you eliminate 110 days. Mr. Quick stated this is not the proper way to reward an individual that has <br /> come in and done their job,week after week,month after month, year after year. The proposal Mr. <br /> Quick put forth at the work session was very simple. The total accumulated hours divided by 50% <br /> gives them a reward for coming to work, don't penalize them for coming to work, but reward them. <br /> Mayor Coughlin stated the discussion needs to be germane to the postponement. <br /> Motion/Second: Mayor Coughlin calls for the vote. All in favor of postponing until Monday,March <br /> N:\USERS\CHRIS\COUNCIL\MINUTES\MVCCS.MAR9 <br />
