Session 1887 <br /> <br />MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />June 2,2003 <br /> <br />At a special budget meeting of the City Council of University City held in the <br />Council Chambers of City Hall, on Monday, June 2, 2003, Mayor Joseph Adams <br />called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. In addition to the Mayor, the following <br />members of Council were present: <br /> <br />Ms. Cassandra Colquitt <br />Mr. Wayne Munkel <br />Mr. Robert Wagner <br />Mr. Larry Lieberman <br />Ms. Shelley Welsch <br />Mr. Arthur Sharpe, Jr. <br /> <br />Also present was the City Manager, Mr. Frank Ollendorff. <br /> <br />AGENDA - CONCLUSION OF BUDGET STUDY ITEMS: <br /> <br />Proposed Changesin Benefits: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff informed the Council of the Non-uniformed Employee's <br />Retirement Plan Pension Board's recommendation to increase the base <br />formula over a period of two years: to1.35% this year and then to 1.40% <br />next year. This figured against the final average compensation for <br />participants retiring after the effective date of the change. Secondly, they <br />recommend increasing the monthly benefit of current retired participants <br />by $20. These two changes will not incur any costs to the pension fund. <br /> <br />Sick Leave Benefit: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff explained the City's current sick leave policy and family <br />medical leave act policy. A few Councilmembers were concerned with the <br />City's definition of maternity leave as a sickness. Mr. Ollendorff felt it was <br />important that employees plan and wisely use their sick leave for events <br />such as this and recommended no changes to the current policy. Ms. <br />Colquitt and Ms. Welsch asked that Mr. Ollendorff continue to study this <br />issue. They felt strongly that maternity leave should be dealt with <br />separately from the sick leave policy and that employees, male and <br />female, be given additional benefits to help attract and retain their <br />employment. <br /> <br /> <br />
