Item No: 08C <br />Meeting Date: April 13, 2009 <br />Type of Business: CA <br />Administrator Review: _____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />From: Desaree M. Crane, Assistant City Clerk-Administrator <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7436, Authorizing the Purchase of Employee Gift <br />Certificates for the June 17, 2009, Employee Appreciation Day. <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />As stated in Resolution 5617 (attached as Exhibit A), the City will provide eligible employees gift certificates <br />for a Five-Year Employment Milestone. In the past, the City has also provided a luncheon to appreciate the <br />hard work and dedication of city employees. These gift certificates have been awarded to the eligible <br />employees during the annual employee appreciation luncheon. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />One of the clauses in Resolution 5617 is that the City would provide to employees “gift certificates in the <br />amount of $5 per year of service at five-year increments.” Currently there are 10 city employees that fall <br />under these criteria. Both the Employee Lunch and Gift Certificates are currently budgeted for 2009 <br />(Budget # 100-4100-1600). The employees below qualify under the criteria set in Resolution 5617: <br /> <br />Employee Name Department Years of Service <br />as of 2009 <br />Gift Certificate Amount <br />Benesch, Barbara Community <br />Development <br />30 years $150.00 <br />Geringer, Steve Police 20 years $100.00 <br />Wienke, Jeffrey Public Works 20 years $100.00 <br />Fredberg, Timothy Public Works 15 years $75.00 <br />Anderson, Jeremiah Community <br />Development <br />10 years $50.00 <br />Hughes, John Public Works 10 years $50.00 <br />Jasper, Debbie Finance 10 years $50.00 <br />Demarest, Keith Police 5 years $25.00 <br />Hellpap, Jeremy Police 5 years $25.00 <br />Wolf, Timothy Police 5 years $25.00 <br />Zender, Benjamin Police 5 years $25.00 <br /> <br />The City has $950 in the budget for gift certificates, and an additional $950 for the employee luncheon. In <br />years past, the luncheon has been catered, and held at the Mounds View Community Center. However, it <br />was decided at the April Work Session to have a barbeque event instead of a catered event. The Employee <br />Appreciation Day is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, 2009, at City Hall Park (Big Pavilion) from 11am to <br />1pm. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 7436, Authorizing the Purchase of Employee Gift Certificates <br />for the June 17, 2009, Employee Appreciation Day. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree Crane <br />
