Mounds View City Council Apri112, 2004 Regular Meeting Page 15 Finance Director Hansen indicated that this Resolution formalizes the agreement to have ICMA administrate the plan but no one would be able to contribute to it until Council approves it through the personnel manual and labor contracts. Council Member Quick asked whether this would affect the contract negotiations in any way. City Administrator Ulrich indicated it allows other options to include with the contract when talking about sick leave severance with some unions. He then said that this could be an option to sick leave severance payments. Council Member Stigney asked what this compares to. Finance Director Hansen indicated the only other plan available is through the state of Minnesota but that plan is much more restrictive as an entire group of employees would be required to contribute and this plan allows for individuals to make their own choice. Council Member Stigney asked what other cities already use this plan. He then indicated he would like to know who is using this. Finance Director Hansen agreed to obtain the information for Council. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6228, a • Resolution Authorizing the Adoption of the Vantagecare Retirement Health Savings Program. Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Council Member Stigney abstained from voting. J. First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 734, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 513 Pertaining to Adult Oriented Businesses. Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the only change made from the work session was a change in the fee from $500 to $2,500 as recommended by Kennedy and Graven that the City's fee may be too low. Council Member Stigney asked why the fee is restricted to $2,500. Director Ericson commented that the higher the fee the more apt it is to be challenged and the fee needs to be reasonable. Council Member Stigney asked if the $2,500 is the most practical that the City should be charging at this time. • Director Ericson said he feels this is a fee that the City can justify at this time.
