Mounds View City Council August 23, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 29 contract commenced well over a year ago, and pertained to the years 1998 and 1999, and will expire in approximately 4 %2 months. He stated the language in the agreement had been mediated and determined by an arbitrator, therefore, the City was now obligated to abide by the language and conditions therein, so no modification can be made at this time. City Administrator Whiting stated the resolution was essentially in keeping with the provisions applied to work conditions in regard to such matters as pay and uniform allowance, as has been agreed upon by the Union and the employees in general. City Administrator Whiting stated he would attempt to answer any questions of the Council, and would request Council approval of Resolution 5364 Council Member Marty requested clarification of Article 23, the Cafeteria Plan. City Administrator Whiting stated this was in reference to options for health insurance, as provided to the employees. Finance Director Kessel explained there were two different manners in which the Cafeteria Plan is defined. He stated that an employee could take a portion of their salary, and set it aside in a pre-tax plan, for daycare or un-reimbursed medical expenses. He stated the other option, was in the case of a Single Health insurance plan, wherein the City allows the employee to select benefits, not to exceed the cost allotted for Family Health insurance coverage, and any remaining balance is unused. Council Member Marty stated it appeared this matter had already been agreed upon by the City, the Union, and the arbitrator, and that the arbitrator's decision was binding.
