Mounds View City Council January 24, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 11 might be inappropriate for the City to terminate health care benefits after an employee has been on workers’ compensation leave for six months. Attorney Carlson has therefore, officially recommended that those sections and references to insurance continuation be removed from the Personnel Manual. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty, To Approve Resolution No. 5411, a Resolution Adopting Changes to the City of Mounds View Personnel Policy. Council Member Stigney pointed out that some of the terminology of the memorandum appeared to indicate that they would deal with these matters on a “one-on-one” basis. He inquired how it would be possible to apply different treatment to the individual cases. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated Attorney Carlson had advised that the blanket statement pertaining to insurance continuation should be removed, as the decisions regarding workers’ compensation were not solely up to the City. She explained that this insurance is utilized for different reasons, and other parties, such as Berkley Administrators, are involved in the decision making process in these cases. Ayes – 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Mayor Coughlin reiterated his appreciation to City staff and the Public Works Department for an exemplary job, as well as the Police and Administrative Departments, who do much work behind the scenes, and should be commended in that regard. Council Member Stigney advised that the Council/Staff Retreat would be held on January 31, 2000, at the Northland Inn, and would be open to the public. 11.
