Regular f l Minutes <br />DRAFT Minutes - Page 10 <br />Further discussion included concerns regarding atwo -year <br />contract; financial situation of the cities of Minneapolis <br />and St. Paul and there not being in the Stanton V survey <br />for comparisons; the City of Roseville's healthy fand <br />reserves and lack of dependence on state aid; and <br />anticipated loss in Local Government Aid (LGA) and city <br />budget ramifications, projected at less than $720,000. <br />Councilmember Kough expressed his concern that the City <br />not get into a labor dispute at this time. <br />Mayor Kysylyczyn stated that further negotiation was part <br />of good -faith bargaining, and Councilmembers should <br />consider acounter- offer. <br />Councilmember Kough encouraged inclusion of a <br />provision in the contract that would be for wage <br />negotiation only if necessary, rather than cutting jobs for <br />those with low seniority. <br />Further discussion included whether to amend the motion <br />or meet in Closed Executive Session. City Attorney <br />Anderson provided guidelines for calling a closed <br />Executive Session to allow for public information. <br />Councilmember Maschka opined that the City should not <br />choose an adversarial approach versus an open <br />negotiation. Councilmember Maschka expressed his <br />opinion that the City of Roseville was in a unique situation <br />in not being dependent on LGA, having a strong tax base <br />and strong reserves. Councilmember Maschka stated that <br />while he supported approval of the contract and wage <br />increases to stimulate the economy, he was aware of the <br />private sector currently being flat in raises; and expressed <br />an uncertainty in what the scenario would be in 2004. <br />Councilmember Maschka further opined that atwo -year <br />contract made sense and the proposed contract was not out <br />of range; staffing that the City of Roseville needed to do <br />what was best for the City, not concentrate so heavily on <br />the State level. <br />
