He then explained that the review he made took 10 hours of staff time and the outcome was that Staff found 15 minutes so the review was hardly cost effective. Council Member Stigney commented that by not looking at all of the timesheets the City would not know for sure if flex time was used improperly. He then stated that the Resolution stated one thing and Staff accomplished something else. He also indicated he had a question on the sick time paid out for Ms. Miller. Finance Director Hansen indicated that sick time was paid out per the City's policy at 1/12 of her ending balance of 298.64 hours. Council Member Stigney read Section 3.35 of the policy on banked sick leave indicating employees with more than 120 sick days will be calculated at the rate of 1 per month additional and are not to be included in the calculation. Finance Director Hansen indicated that the policy refers to 120 days and Ms. Miller had 298 hours not days. Community Development Director Ericson thanked Ms. Miller for doing a wonderful job given the circumstances and direction of Council. • Director Ericson reported that the City received an easement document exercised by the business park entity for the trail section by Perkins. He then indicated that the new owner of the Perkins property intends to remove the pine tree in question.
