OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Gold announced we would discuss the Longevity Plan which had
been tabled June 22, 1988. Mr. DiLeva announced after discussion
with several people, it was decided to turn this over to the Union
for further action.
Mr. Gold then announced the Part Time Employee Policy, which was
tabled at the June 22, 1988 meeting, will again be tabled until
Mr. Dennis Kelly, Interim City Manager, can get to this matter.
Mr. Harry Jones then spoke on the changes he would like to see made
to the Employees' Information Book. After a long discussion, the
Board agreed all these suggestions be tabled until the contracts are
revised. Mr. Jones then withdrew all three of his requests for changes.
Mr. DiLeva then presented two requests from employees. (1) Temporaryj
Permanent Promotions and Pay: After explaining this problem brought by
an employee, the Board agreed to accept this as it now stands.
(2) Anniversary Dates. Mr. Gold explained this has been discussed
at a meeting last year and he thought it was settled. Mrs. McDonald
explained it was settled for employees whose anniversaries fall on a
Friday, but not for anyone whose anniversary falls on any other week
day, and they are therefore losing from one to four days' pay at
their new rate. In discussing the extra work involved in pro-rating
these employees, Mrs. McDonald stated she had worked with software and
computers and the software,:j.s needed, as the City is growing; she
believes it is not that hard to do, as she had done this where she
worked previously, and volunteered to pro-rate. After discussion,that
pro-ration is done every year October 1st for the cost of living increase,
the Board determined it would be very difficult to do and Mr. Jones
moved we leave this as it is; the new rate is applicable the beginning
of the first pay period after the employees' anniversary date, seconded
by Mr. Denton. The motion CARRIED 4-1, Mr. DiLeva voting No.
Mr. Gold then asked the Board to glance over the Merit Increase Reports
and Accident Reports for June, 1988.
There being no further business before the Board, Mr. DiLeva moved
the meeting adjourn, seconded by Mrs. Garvey. The meeting adjourned
at 8:08 p.m.
