Mounds View City Council February 10, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 11 <br /> <br />Council Member Quick indicated he would like to look at installing pipes in the areas where <br />there are issues with water even if the street is not scheduled at this time. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that Staff has soil borings throughout the area and has <br />ground water information. He also indicated that Staff would view the sewer tapes to determine <br />if there is clear water discharge to indicate a problem area. He further indicated that residents <br />would receive surveys. <br />Council Member Marty agreed that doing something in the areas of the City where water is an <br />issue would save the City money in the long run on sewer charges. <br />Council Member Gunn asked Staff to read Number 2 so residents watching understand what is <br />being discussed. <br />Public Works Director Lee read Section 2 governing water discharges into the City's sanitary <br />sewer system. <br />B.

Resolution 5943, a Resolution Amending Personnel Manual to Establish a <br />Sick Leave Donation Policy. <br />Chief Sommer indicated the reason for this resolution was that a Mounds View police officer <br />was injured off duty and required a lengthy recovery time. This officer was a newly hired officer <br />and had not accrued much sick leave and has now exhausted that time. Chief Sommer indicated <br />the labor contract for patrol officers allows Mounds View officers to borrow up to 30 days of <br />sick leave and this resolution would address that and allow all City employees in catastrophic <br />
