Item No. 12 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: May 1, 2000 Type of Business: W.K. WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Discussion Regarding Insurance and Personnel Issues Date of Report: August 29, 2018 At the April 17, 2000 work session some pay equity items and health insurances issues were mentioned. Staff would like to discuss these further with Council and seek some direction in them. Briefly speaking, some consideration to establish a set percentage of City contribution to the employee’s health benefits, and possibly bringing the City’s pay equity plan into compliance were touched on. A set percentage of the health insurance will be presented for some City bargaining units, which begs the question of whether this practice would be extended to the remainder of the employees. One additional item is the consideration of extending the severance provision of utilizing 65% of an employee’s (Police & Public Works) accumulated sick leave for extended health insurance benefits upon retirement to the non-bargaining group of employees. This issue has been discussed several times at the staff level prior to the former Police Chief’s departure, with the explanation that this issue would be presented prior to the adoption of the “New Personnel Policy Manual”. I personally don’t recall any discussion on this matter. Staff would seek Council direction is this matter. Bruce Kessel, Finance Director will present a brief analysis of the insurance issues and pay equity proposal. Should Council have any questions, which might require additional research prior to the meeting, please do not hesitate to call staff. ___________________________________ Michael Ulrich, Interim City Administrator C:\Mike's documents\staff reports\Health benefits Pay Equity.doc
