Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 10, 2014 Page 7 At the request of Mayor Roe, Mr. Miller advised that the JLEC was taking action on this agreement at their meeting this week as well; and by adding a specific time frame for termination, he didn't see any major problem with that body in their approval. Councilmember Willmus opined that he was more comfortable with a specific termination date at the onset of the agreement; and if it was necessary to continue the contract, it would then come back to the City Council for review and consid- eration of further extensions. Councilmember McGehee questioned the rationale in having the agreement come back before the City Council in two years, as long as the rates were adjustable and it would continue to work financially for the City. Councilmember Willmus responded that it was not his understanding that this was intended to be an ongoing item, but with the contract drafted as it is currently, it could be; and he thought the contract should be returned to the City Council for a review before extending it beyond two years. Councilmember Willmus further opined that the City had some exposure (e.g. Workers Compensation for employ- ee travel, etc.). Mayor Roe noted that the exposure for employees was no different whether for two days or two years; to which Councilmember McGehee concurred. In Section 11.2 (Financial Terms and Payment Process), Councilmember Laliber- te questioned the "additional task orders" listed and lack of agreed-upon amount for those services if needed. Mr. Miller responded that Attachment B included a sample task order; and how those services were structured would depend on which employees were assigned to the task. Mr. Miller assured the City Council that those rates would cover costs for employee health care benefits and any overhead costs. At the request of Councilmember Laliberte, Mr. Miller advised that the rates for 2014 were proposed to remain static, and if the project went into the 2015 budget yet, those costs would be revised upward as applicable to cover actual costs. Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, amendment to the termination clause for a date specific to terminate the contract by January 1, 2016. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; Etten; Laliberte; and Roe. Nays: McGehee. Motion carried.
