NEW BUST-NESS Book 34 Page 211 (CONSIDERATION OF MISCELLANEOUS POLICIES - SICK LEAVE, HOSPITAL INCENTIVE, AND GOLF PASSES) Mayor Dakan reviewed the policies under consideration as follows: SICK LEAVE POLICY SICK LEAVE POOL POLICY - A sick leave pool is a central pool of time created by the donation of up to 8 hours of employees' time. The pool is drawn on by its members in cases of catastrophic illness. Donations are made once and are reviewed annually to assess need. CATASTROPHIC ILLNESS - Catastrophic illness is defined as unexpected illness of an employee requiring extended time off. Elective surgery, normal pregnancy, etc. would not be considered as catastrophic illness. 1. Leave is donated January 1 of each year if needed. New employees may join the pool on January 1 following the first year anniversary of employment. 2. Only members of the pool may request hours from the pool. 31 The pool may only be drawn on after an employee has used all accrued sick leave, vacation leave and comp time. 4. Any person drawing from the pool must refund 8 hours on the following January 1 to the pool before they can draw on it again. 5. A maximum of 160 hours may be granted to an employee in the same year for the same request. 6. Each request is evaluated by Wellness Committee to determine the validity of the request and the total hours being requested. The Wellness Committee reserves the right to require a medical certificate from a physician before granting the request. MEDICAL BILL INCENTIVE POLICY The medical bill incentive is created to encourage employees to check their hospital and doctor bills for accurateness and report any erroneous charges. The incentive is for any legitimate mistakes as determined by the Wellness Committee, that are found and reported by the employee on their hospital, doctor or related medical bills. This does not include - typographical errors that the billing party willingly admits to. The City will pay an employee 250 of the corrected error with a maximum of $2,500. The following steps should be taken for requesting a medical bill incentive payment: 1. if you feel there is a mistake on a medical bill, report it to the medical provider. 2. Once the medical provider makes an adjustment to your account, request a revised itemized statement. Book 34 Page 212 Complete the Medical Bill Incentive Request Form, which is available in the Payroll or Personnel Offices at City mall. Attach both _temized bills which will show t]:ze discrepancy in charges. Submit thvq to �e Wellness Ccmm_i.ttee for review. The Wellness Committee shall serve as the review board of all regi:,-ests. 'Their decision shall be final. If the request is approved, the City will then direct First Health to grant a check to the employee for the amount of the incentive. The employee should note that this payment is considered income and is subject to all taxes and deductions. EMPLOYEE GOLF PASS P0L1CY Effective October 1, 1993, all employees w -th a hire date prior to March, 1990, shale_ pay the difference of a Golf Pass in 1985 ($300) and the current Golf Pass price. r?.7.1 other employees (hired after March 1990) shall pay orie- holf the price of a current regular Golf Pass. This benefit shall be extended only to fu].]_ time status employees and appointed officials. . Mayor Dakan further commented that the Employee Golf Pass Policy, as it now stands, does not address the Pros, City Council and Mayor, and Golf Staff. Councilman Ra stated that the Mayor did clarify t_he Golf Pass Policy in the Pre - Council Meeting and he wou'c? request that he clarify this Policy for the benefit of all involved. The mayor explained that the Golf Pros and their Staff who contract for the operation of the courses would be a,le to play without the purchase of a pass. This was the policy on all golf courses contacted -. The Greens Keeper and his Staff would also receive passes. With regard to the Mayor and City Council, they would be considered the same as any other City employee. Doi. Tolley the Chairman of the Golf Board, was recognized and informed Council that there was several things he felt should be addressed before acting on this Policy. One was whether it would be a one time only for those employees who are allowed to pay the difference in the cost of the pass or it would he for as long as they work for the City. Also, the definition of a City employee versus contract employee should be clarified. Mr. Tolley felt both should be addressed. He further stated that the free golf passers were a morale booster for the City employees and he fsit sure they would be addressed again in the future. Councilman Ozuna stated that he would like to clarify that the decision about the Golf Passes was made by the City Council and not by the Golf Board. It was his recommendation that if there was any further questions pertai ning to , this matter, they be directed to City Hal - '— M._. Tolley agreed that this Policy came as a complete surprise to the Golf Board as they were not aware of it at all. He further s_,ated that the various boards should be made aware of action_ the Council is considering- MOVED by Raymond, SECONDED by Nan.colas to approve the policies governing sick leave, hospital incentive and the Book 34 golf passes with the understandings that have been presented.

The Public Hearing was then opened and he asked the City Engineer to present the background information on this item_ Mr. Law, the City Engineer and Public Works Director, stated that this particular L.I.D. has a long and convoluted history. Some weeks ago, the City Council passed a Resolution of Intent to form this L.I.D. After this was passed, the seven property owners affected by it decided that they would like to finance it independently of the L.I.D. Therefore, action was stopped and a Protest Hearing was not held at that time. Subsequent to that decision., they decided that they did need the benefits of the L.I.D. so the process was rescheduled_ The Protest Hearing was advertised in accordance with State Code so that the bonding and other procedures necessary could be taken care of. With regard to the L.I.D., it involves seven properties in an area where the septic tanks serving them now are failing. For some time, several of the seven have had to pump the tanks to keep service to their homes. It was the City's Staff recommendation that this be passed and they be allowed to connect to the City sewer system under the terms of this L.I_D. The exact procedure is to ratify the Resolution of Intent if there is no protests and then to pass the Ordinance forming the L.I.D. He would request that the rules be waived so it can be passed tonight. Since there was no one signed to testify, the Mayor declared the Public Hearing closed.

The first one was Police Hiring Supplement Program which was a Federal Program to put 50,000 additional police officers on the streets of the United States and supplemented by the Federal Government. This program will fund new positions within a department for 75$ of the cost for three years. This means for an investment of $5,000 a year, we can add a Police Officer. This position is not tied to any program. Caldwell will have an advantage because they are in the second year of a three year strategy to implement community policing.

This is a well known and successful program that has been in existence for several years. The grant will pay for 100% of the salary in the first year, 66o in the second and 33o in the third.
