<br /> , . , <br /> . Arden Hills Council 7 May 26, 1992 <br /> Mayor Sather commented that it is unrealistic to think that <br /> Reed could ever 11pay backlt the sick 1 ea v e already extended, <br /> and he was concerned about extending additional sick leave <br /> since there is the chance Reed will be unable to return to his <br /> job, and the City has already extended benefits beyond what <br /> Reed had accrued. <br /> The question was raised how other cities typically handle such <br /> a situation. Winkel Salct that a po~ 1 of other cities <br /> indicated that granting medical 1 eave of absence '>'I~i thout pay <br /> is a COffil1l0n practice, however, the employee would need to <br /> request that himself. Mayor Sather said he would support such <br /> leave for a finite period of time. <br /> MOTI ON: Hicks rnoved, seconded by Malone, to: 1) Ask Fred Reed to <br /> use the balance of his accrued vacation time, ~ \ Deny <br /> L ) <br /> additional extended sick leave, and 3) Request an opinion <br /> frOIT' Reed's doctor regarding an anticipated return to <br /> work date. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> i\J'_PRQVAL_ TO _PURCHASE TRACTOR <br /> Winkel referred to his Hay ~" 1992 memo on .'

Winkel stated <br /> that the budget has $25,000 allocated for the purchase of a <br /> Bobcat, but 1-' ~.l- he would prefer to take advantage of the <br /> 'L-naL- <br /> opportunity to purchase the tractor at this time with hopes of <br /> also purcbasing a Bobcat (perhaps used) lislng f~nds saved <br /> dUl:i~-l; the year from capital expendi t'J.l:es. <br /> Councilmeffibe:~ Hic~s asked - - tl'-,-e c:i ty currently has a b::.ckhCt.; <br /> and tractol: . \'1inkel said the city curreutly does not have a <br /> backhoe, , plaL3 are tc.' use the City13 ,:urrent ti:acto:i:: as a <br /> ana <br /> trade il-~ whe~1 a Bobcat is purchased. <br /> COl..l:i1ci 1171ern}:)er Halone encouraged Winkel t.o 1 co:..: ,-l..JJ... a ~:; C' . <br /> bobee, t \.~hel: the appropriate t i iT\C: comes t ,~j Il:a~: e the p\.;;:chase. <br /> :0Lncil~ember Hicks asked :l. f Hlnr~E' 1 COU~;~:, [legot.iate c'\ :)"2..Ce <br /> 1 eS:3 thari $25/000 for the Case tractcJr. Hinke1 stated .;... -,~. ~ .;.. <br /> \....1.\0,- <br /> $25,000 is already a ve-:'j good pr i C:E: i;]:i.. \!2L t..
