Res. #20-002 – 2020 Pay Plan (Non-Union Salary Adjustments) <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that non-union employees and hourly part-time staff generally receive <br />the same benefits as union labor employees. He stated that this years’ budgeted cost of living pay <br />increase is 2.75% and is the last of a three year contract.

All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />4. Pickup Purchases <br /> <br />Finance Director DeJong provided Council with a handout listing Public Works Capital Assets <br />and stating that Council projected purchasing two (2) new vehicles in 2019, 2020 and 2021. He <br />reported that this did not occur due to the State’s purchasing contract and Council consideration. <br />He also stated that Council transferred $50,000 into the Capital Asset Replacement Fund in 2018 <br />in anticipation for that purchase. He reviewed the revised replacement schedule with Council <br />stating that staff is proposing to replace three (3) vehicles this year and three (3) next year. He <br />stated that Council is scheduled to transfer $11,000 from the Water and Sewer Funds in 2020 and <br />each successive year following will include a 3% transfer. He also stated that with the anticipated <br />Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values there would be a minor dip into negative fund balance in <br />2028. He felt that the City was being extremely conservative with numbers. <br /> <br />Discussion also took place regarding replacement of bobcats and a previous program which would <br />allow for a guaranteed trade-in on an annual basis for a fee of approximately $2,000. Staff stated <br />that upon replacement, additional research would be completed regarding this item. <br /> <br />Lengthy discussion ensued regarding the possibility of two (2) purchases per year, the necessity <br />of having needed tools to complete job, additional staff, the possibility of utilizing a UTV instead <br />of a full-sized truck for seasonal staff and needs and the ability to adjust the plan. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Palzer stated Staff requested a 2-wheel drive in an attempt to save money <br />as the seasonal employees do not tow or plow. Lengthy discussion was had regarding purchasing <br />4-wheel drive vehicles which would have a better resale value and all-around usage. <br /> <br />Motion by Mayor Paar, seconded by Council Member Montain to Purchase Two (2) 2020 <br />Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Double Cab 4 x 4 Vehicles and One (1) 2020 Chevrolet Silverado <br />1500 Double Cab 2 x 2 Vehicle as Presented Through the State Purchasing Contract from <br />Karl Chevrolet, Inc <br /> <br />Page 5 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
