Mounds View City Council January 28, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty read Resolution 5691 which would amend the City’s Personnel Manual <br />as it relates to the amount of insurance the City will pay for non-union employees. He then <br />commented that the City is changing the policy from 80% to a fixed dollar amount of $451.00. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked if the employees directly affected by this change had been notified <br />and, if so, how they felt about the change. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that the change would affect all non-union employees which <br />includes department directors and the City Administrator. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked if the affected employees had approved the policy change. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that, while she had not polled employees, the matter was <br />discussed and employees are aware that the City was moving toward a set dollar contribution <br />rather than a percentage. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty noted that some of the affected employees are not department heads. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated there were approximately two affected employees <br />who are not department heads. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty said he thought there were two at public works and two at the golf <br />course. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated there was one employee in public works and one in <br />finance. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked if those employees were aware of the change. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas indicated the Human Resources Committee had been working on this <br />issue for almost a year. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed indicated the Club House Manager was aware of the change <br />and knows it impacts him. <br /> <br />Tim Pittman, Public Works Foreman, noted he fell into the non-union non-department head <br />category and was not aware of the proposed change until this evening. <br /> <br />City Administrator Miller indicated that it was the responsibility of the department directors to <br />make sure information is passed on. She then noted that, if Mr. Pittman had a question <br />concerning the change, he was welcome to stop into her office at any time. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Reed explained that 80% is $451.00 and noted that coverage was <br />not changing at this point. <br />
