Mounds View City Council December 9, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 23 City Administrator Miller said she finds it curious that Council Member Marty would speak in support of clean up when he never once supported clean up and she has received nothing but harassment from him since she recommended that the golf course manager be terminated. Council Member Marty said he would like to know what Ms. Miller meant by harassment. City Administrator Miller indicated Council Member Marty would be receiving a letter to that effect. Council Member Stigney commented that, whenever an item is brought to Council’s attention, it is corrected. He then said that Council hired an administrator to ensure that policies are carried out and not bringing the issues forward to Council is puzzling. Finance Director Hansen indicated there is a matter of interpretation that he is not clear on. He then asked if it is a strict absolute that only 16 hours can be used in a pay-period. Council Member Stigney indicated that flex time is to be used in increments of 16 hours in a two week period and that is clear. Council Member Marty said yes. Council Member Quick said no, if you went over 16 hours in one given week the potential is you would never be able to recover the time. He then said it does not work that way and that was not the intent of the Council. Council Member Stigney commented the issue is not comp time it is flex-time. Council Member Quick indicated he was not sure what Council Member Stigney is trying to prove here but that is how he interprets it. He then said he finds it disheartening that he cannot say anything without Council Member Stigney interrupting him. Council Member Marty indicated he that the personnel policy states how it is to be administered in black and white. Council Member Stigney indicated all Council Members have been elected to uphold ordinances and if there is an issue it should be brought to Council and straightened out. Council Member Thomas indicated she had no problem supporting the amendment because it does nothing to change the Resolution. She then said she is a little lost as to why they think that this addresses anything as far as time that was earned during a pay period there is so much confusion about flex time and flexing hours she is very concerned as to why this has gotten to this point in an issue that has been an accepted practice, is not illegal, and is not doing anything against the law.
