Mounds View City Council 3 <br /> Article 10 of the Employment Contract with the Clerk/Administrator <br /> provides for an option to be selected by the City Council in case <br /> of termination. One course is to dismiss by immediate termination <br /> and 6i months severance pay or alternatively dismiss with 6 months <br /> notice and no severance pay. Additional severance payments that <br /> apply to all employees such as accrued vacation and sick pay are <br /> set in City Code Chapter 6 and must be honored in any case. <br /> It is only under Article 10 of the contract where the council <br /> initiates the termination of employment that immediate severance <br /> pay in the amount of 6 months salary must be paid in addition to <br /> accrued vacations etc. <br /> However, all this is beside the real point . In Mayor Hankner' s <br /> statement of Aug. 13, 1990 it was clearly stated that- - [Quote] <br /> . . . " 'Mr. Pauley, Clerk-Administrator resigned effective July 20, <br /> 1990 . It was essentially a mutual agreement between Mr. Pauley <br /> and the. City Council . The council voted unanimously to accept Mr. <br /> Pauley':s resignation. '" Of course we all know by the Mayor' s <br /> statement that this was a mutually agreed departure and not a case <br /> . of firing an employee. <br /> Question: <br /> If Mr. Pauley voluntarily resigned, then why wasn't Article 11 of <br /> the contract enforced by the Council which states that The City <br /> agrees to pay Mr. Paulev upon his resignation an amount equal to <br /> all of his accrued vacation leave? Here, severances are not <br /> provided. (Article 9 of the contract requires a 45 day written <br /> notice by the Clerk/Administrator before voluntarily resigning. ) <br /> Perusal of both the referenced contract and city code fails to <br /> point -to any obvious requirement that the city is obligated to pay <br /> future costs of health benefits or expense accounts for use of <br /> personal automobiles, after employment termination, under any <br /> termination conditions. <br /> • <br /> Question: <br /> Why was amounts equal to 6 months of health benefits and <br /> administrative expenses (that this employee will neither be <br /> incurring or performing) paid by the city of Mounds View as part <br /> of the severance package? <br /> • <br />
