Session 1783 - Budget Meeting <br />May 17, 2000 <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommended increasing the $10,000 straight term life insurance policy for <br />all full time employees to $25,000. This increase will only cost the City $8,000. The <br />sense of Council was to approve this request. <br /> <br />DEFERRED COMPENSATION: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommended providing deferred compensation for his higher level staff. It <br />will help with the recruitment process, as well as being a much more common place fringe <br />benefit. Council agreed. <br /> <br />DISABILITY BENEFITS: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommended instituting disability insurance. He would rather bring these <br />ideas up with the pension boards, because they have adequate funds, rather than Council. <br />Council agreed. <br /> <br />PARAMEDIC LICENSING REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />Paramedics need $3,000 a year for education allowance, since the state is increasing its <br />requirements. Council agreed. <br /> <br />VACATION INCREASE FOR 5 - 10 YEAR EMPLOYEES <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommended adding one day of vacation to 5 - 10 year employees, for a <br />total of 3 weeks and 1 day. Responding to Mr. Sharpe, Mr. Ollendorff said there would be <br />very few problems with this, as far as shortages of workers. Council agreed. <br /> <br />COST OF LIVING INCREASE FOR EMPLOYEES: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommends a 3% cost of living adjustment for all classifications of <br />employees. Council agreed. <br /> <br />RECLASSIFICATION OF POSITIONS: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff recommends moving the Purchasing Specialist, the Secretary to the City <br />Manager, the Automotive Service Attendant, about a dozen account clerks, the Assistant <br />City Manager up a grade level. <br /> <br /> <br />
