Mounds View City Council July 23, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 15 <br />• <br />~~ <br />Council Member Quick questioned City Administrator Miller on how the former Chief of Police <br />was being paid out in severance pay. He asked if the interim Finance Director could look at that <br />issue. <br />Council Member Marty pointed out that taxes are different depending on which option for payout <br />is chosen. <br />Assistant to the City Administrator Reed stated both Council Members Marty and Quick are <br />correct. She explained that to alleviate the potential for a problem, the employees now sign a <br />document stating they realize they have a choice and confirm their election, thereby being <br />furnished with the appropriate tax forms. <br />Council Member Quick stated he was more concerned if the City has settled the severance pay <br />issue with a former employee and requested that the Interim Finance Director research that issue. <br />Council Member Quick stated the Mounds View Matters print media of May/June states that <br />Coffee with the Mayor will be held the fourth Wednesday of the month. <br />Mayor Sonterre confirmed this and stated the next meeting will be in Mounds View Square at <br />9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, and the guest speaker will be the outgoing Chief of Police.
