~: <br />`~ ~•~~ ~~ .;.~ i) ff ,~ !a of <br />C7 <br />~.~ <br />Mounds View City Council 3 <br />Article 10 of the Employment Contract with the Clerk/Administrator <br />provides for an option to be selected by the City Council in case <br />of termination. One course is to dismiss by immediate termination <br />and 6 months severance pay or alternatively dismiss with 6 months <br />notice and no severance pay. Additional severance payments that <br />apply to all employees such as accrued vacation and sick pay are <br />set in City Code Chapter 6 and must be honored in any case. <br />Tt is only under Article 10 of the contract where the council <br />initiates the termination of employment that immediate severance <br />pay in the amount of 6 months salary must be paid in addition to <br />accrued vacations etc. <br />However, all this is beside the real point. ~In Mayor Hankner's <br />statement of Aug. 13, 1990 it was clearly stated that-- [Quote] <br />"'Mr. Pauley, Clerk-Administrator resigned effective July 20, <br />1990. It was essentially a mutual agreement between Mr. Pauley <br />and the City Council. The council voted unanimously to accept Mr. <br />Pauley's resignation."' Of course we all know by the Mayor's <br />statement that this was a mutually agreed departure and not a case <br />of firing an employee. <br />Question: <br />If Mr. Pauley voluntarily resigned, then why wasn't Article 11 of <br />the contract enforced by the Council which states that The Citv <br />acrrees to pav Mr. Paulev upon his resignation an amount equal to <br />all of h's accrued vacation leaves Here, severances are not <br />provided. (Article 9 of the contract requires a 45 day written <br />notice by the Clerk/Administrator before voluntarily resigning.) <br />Perusal of both the referenced contract and city code fails to <br />point to any obvious requirement that the city is obligated to pay <br />future costs of health benefits or expense accounts for use of <br />personal automobiles, after employment termination, under any <br />termination conditions. <br />Question: <br />Why was amounts equal to 6 months of health benefits and <br />administrative expenses (that this employee will neither be <br />incurring or performing) paid by the city of Mounds view as part <br />of the severance package? <br />• <br />
