. Arden Hills Council 7 Hay 26, 1992 Mayor Sather commented that it lS unrealistic to think that Reed could ever "pay back" the sick leave already extended, and he was concerned about extending additional ' , leave SlCI\. since there is the chance Reed will be unable to return to his job, and the City has already extended benefits beyond what Reed had accrued. The qtlestion was raised how other cities typically handle such a situation. Wink e 1 said that a poll of other cities indicated that granting medical leave or absence c,,;i t.b.out pay is a common practice, however, the employee would need to request that himself. Mayor Sather said he would support such leave for a finite period of time. - MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone, to: 1) Ask Fred Reed to use the balance of his accrued vacation time, 0\ Deny L ) additional extended sick leave, and 3) Request an opinion from Reed's doctor regarding an anticipated return to work date. Motion carried unanimously (5-0).

Winkel said the purchase price of t.he tl-actor was $42,000 in 1988, it would sell for about $30,000 ' " and now tram a aealer, a new comparable tractor would be over $50,000. Winkel stated that the budget has $25,000 allocated for the purchase of a Bobcat, but that he '..lOuld prefer to take advantage of Lhe opportunity to purchase the tractor at this time with hopes of ;3,130 purchasing a Bobcat (perhaps used) using f :_ulds ,c;aved during the year from capital expenditures. 20uncilmember Hi.cks asked iftheC.ity currently has a backhce and tractor.
