Mounds View City Council February 24, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 13 the new information that it does not violate anything in the contract and the fact that it is a benefit 1 to the employees he would like to see it approved. 2 3 Council Member Marty asked whether this states that after borrowing up to 30 hours then 4 employees can donate sick leave. 5 6 Mayor Linke indicated that as he reads it employees are allowed to borrow but it does not state 7 from where and, it is scary to borrow for the future but not if it is time banked by another 8 employee. 9 10 Council Member Marty commented that the former City Administrator used to tell Council that 11 the better employees are treated the better the labor negotiations go and he sees this as a good 12 will gesture on behalf of the City. 13 14 Council Member Stigney indicated that Council has no idea what the administration oversight 15 and costs would be and how it might be misconstrued. He then said that at the last meeting two 16 people expressed concerns one was Mr. Jahnke and the other was the Labor Relations 17 Consultant. 18 19 Council Member Stigney commented that he does not feel it is appropriate to take this off the 20 table at this point in the meeting as the proper time to do so would have been during the approval 21 of the agenda. 22 23 Council Member Marty indicated he would like to refer this to the work session to allow for 24 finance input into Staff time to administer and obtain the other view points as Council Member 25 Quick is not at the meeting. 26 27 Mayor Linke apologized for not adding it to the agenda and said he simply forgot. 28 29 MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Marty. To Table to the Next Work Session. 30 31 Council Member Stigney indicated that the tabling motion is out of order to a time certain and 32 suggested that, per Roberts Rules of Order, it requires postponement to a time certain. 33 34 City Attorney Riggs indicated that both parties were partially correct concerning tabling motions 35 and postponements. 36 37 Council Member Stigney indicated this should not be tabled anywhere and that the purpose of a 38 tabling motion is to interrupt something that is going to take place to put something more 39 important to it and table it to later in the meeting. He then said that tabling does not allow for 40 discussion and he feels that Labor Relations should be consulted. 41 42 Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 43 44
