<br />Item No: 8F <br />Meeting Date: July 14, 2003 <br />Type of Business: Consent <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Interim City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Reinstatement of Vacation Hours Forfeited in 2002 to <br />Jim Ericson, Interim City Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />Mounds View Personnel Policy states that employees shall be able to carry over at the <br />end of a year the amount of vacation time accrued in that year plus two additional weeks. <br /> <br />At the June 23, 2003 meeting of the City Council, the issue was raised that I had forfeited <br />vacation time at the end of this last year and I was asked to bring forward a report to the <br />next regular meeting and a resolution to reinstate those hours. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />At the end of 2002, I was unable to utilize some planned vacation due to an unexpected <br />resignation in the community development department and the impending resignations <br />and personal time off of the City Administrator and the assistant City Administrator. As a <br />result, I was unable to use a week of vacation and as such forfeited 31.93 hours on <br />January 1, 2003 pursuant to the Personnel Manual. <br /> <br />Exceptions have been made to this policy for similar situations where vacation time was <br />unable to be used due to mitigating factors such as scheduling conflicts and staffing <br />vacancies which may limit the ability to take a vacation. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />If the Council deems it appropriate, Resolution 6055 is attached for your approval. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Interim City Clerk/Administrator <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
