Mounds View City Council March 27, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 22 some benefits that are not available to other employees, such as full health insurance coverage and a vehicle allowance, and also that the policies of the past may not have compensated for this. City Administrator Whiting advised that the policy he has suggested of 15 percent over current pay, would be relatively simple to administrate. He explained that the amount could be discussed, however, in consideration of the specific circumstance at hand, 15 percent is actually less than the amount previously proposed. He pointed out that in 1995, then Community Development Director Paul Herrington was placed in the interim position at a $1,000 per month wage increase, which was considerably more than 15 percent, and in addition, he was provided $200 for a vehicle allowance. He explained that relatively speaking, this proposal is somewhat more conservative than what has been done in the past. City Administrator Whiting stated it appears that this policy would provide ease in administration, and would reflect a commitment to the employee that is being placed in the position, while recognizing that as an interim, they are not expected to perform the same work as the position would otherwise require.
