Mounds View City Council July 9, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 8 winter season. He questioned if the City should pay the vacation time Mr. Hammerschmidt didn't use. City Administrator Miller clarified that the golf course had a contract which allowed Mr. Hammerschmidt to carry over vacation. She was under the impression that Mr. Hammerschmidt didn't always take vacation in the winter. She did not have a copy of his contract but she wasn't aware that the contract stated he had to take vacation in the winter; it was just intended. Council Member Stigney asked if it was City Administrator Miller's opinion that these wages were due to Mr. Hammerschmidt. City Administrator Miller stated she hasn't worked in this position long enough to know what the practice was in the past. She also clarified that the amount due to Mr. Hammerschmidt was only accumulated vacation and sick pay; it did not include flex hours. City Attorney Reed informed the Council that this practice does comply with the Statutes. Mayor Sonterre raised the issue that there is a statutory window in which to address issues, and asked what that window was. City Administrator Miller offered to notify the finance department the next day of when to sent the check out, assuming the Council approved this payout. Mr. Kessel's check was to be mailed to him. Mr. Hammerschmidt's check will be mailed to Ramsey County. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Quick. To Approve Resolution 5582 Authorizing Severance Payout to John Hammerschmidt Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. 7. COUNCIL BUSINESS A. Public Hearing to Review, Discuss and Present the Revised Mounds View Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Sonterre opened the public hearing at 8:18 p.m. Director of Community Development Ericson stated the City has been working on this plan for three or four years. The City held community meetings at Edgewood School and mass mailed every household in the city. There was a lot of input, and the work was completed in 1999. The Council approved the plan for distribution to neighboring cities and the Met Council. After a few months, the Met Council decided that more details needed to be resolved. On November 8, 2000 the Met Council approved the plan. The City Council has nine months from that date in which to approve the document. Director Ericson further explained that there hasn't been many changes to the Comprehensive Plan. Many of the principals, goals and policies are still in place. He displayed a future land use map as well as an existing land use map. Residential will still be the City's primary land use.
