Mounds View City Council March 11, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 22 City Administrator Miller indicated she could look into the dollar amount and provide that information. Council Member Quick asked if the decision could be read from Page 4 of the document. City Administrator Miller read the decision on Page 4 for Council. It is as follows: “On June 7, 2001 the applicant was discharged because of employment misconduct. The applicant is disqualified until the end of the calendar week that the applicant has total earnings in subsequent covered employment of eight times the applicant’s weekly benefit amount. Benefits paid to the applicant, if any, shall be charged to the reimbursable account of the employer. The employer has elected to be liable for payments in lieu of taxes. The determination under appeal is reversed.” Council Member Marty asked what the last line meant. City Administrator Miller clarified that the City does not have unemployment insurance and pays directly for unemployment claims. She then noted the document goes on to state how the City can recover those payments already made. Council Member Stigney asked if the employee can appeal the decision again. City Administrator Miller indicated the employee has 30 days from February 27, 2002 to appeal the decision. Council Member Marty asked if the document received was two copies of the same thing. City Administrator Miller indicated that the documents provided were very similar but each had specific language in it. She also noted the one reversed the decision and the second amended the language to clean it up. City Administrator Miller indicated there had been discussion last week about data practices requests and she has compiled them into one folder if anyone wants to view them. She indicated she did not make copies assuming that Council wanted to view them rather than request copies. She then invited Council Members to make an appointment to come by her office to review the requests but said she is out of the office Tuesday after 1:00 p.m. and all day Wednesday. City Attorney Riggs indicated that Council Member Stigney had requested whether he had the ability under the data practices context to review data requested by another Council Member and the more efficient process under City policy and state law is that he would also be required to file a data practices request and that would be fulfilled as any other request would be. Council Member Stigney sent down a letter formalizing his data practices request.
