Mounds View City Council March 27, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 21 <br /> <br />benefits that are not available to other employees, such as full health insurance coverage and a <br />vehicle allowance, and also that the policies of the past may not have compensated for this. <br /> <br />City Administrator Whiting advised that the policy he has suggested of 15 percent over current <br />pay, would be relatively simple to administrate. He explained that the amount could be discussed, <br />however, in consideration of the specific circumstance at hand, 15 percent is actually less than the <br />amount previously proposed. He pointed out that in 1995, then Community Development Director <br />Paul Herrington was placed in the interim position at a $1,000 per month wage increase, which <br />was considerably more than 15 percent, and in addition, he was provided $200 for a vehicle <br />allowance. He explained that relatively speaking, this proposal is somewhat more conservative <br />than what has been done in the past. <br /> <br />City Administrator Whiting stated it appears that this policy would provide ease in administration, <br />and would reflect a commitment to the employee that is being placed in the position, while <br />recognizing that as an interim, they are not expected to perform the same work as the position <br />would otherwise require. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty.

He explained that this would provide that the Council and staff are not faced with attempting <br />to pull a dollar amount out of the air, in future situations such as this. He stated this policy appeared <br />to be very well thought out, and a good decision <br /> <br />Council Member Marty extended his appreciation to City Administrator Whiting for all of the hard <br />work he has done for the City.
