Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 4, 2016 Page 5 Councilmember McGehee aslced that staff remain aware of the need to publicize issues in the newspaper and not depend solely on the City's website for those not having access or choosing not to use that media source. City Manager Trudgeon duly noted that concern, and clarified that the proposed alternative use of the website was in accordance with State Statues, but would be primarily used for businesses and contracts such as requests for proposals and bidding notices. McGehee moved, Willmus seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 11289 entitled, "Resolution Designating Official Newspaper and Designating an Alternative Means of Dissemination;" designating the Roseville Review as the 2016 legal newspaper and designating the City's website as the alternative means of dissem- ination of notice for bid advertisements, requests for infonnation and requests for proposals. At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon clarified that the estimated home delivery of the Roseville Review was estimated at 1,300 households. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Etten, McGehee, Laliberte and Roe. Nays: None. i. Approve Terms of 2016 — 2018 Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) Po- lice Officers Contract At the request of Mayor Roe, City Manager Trudgeon briefly reviewed this item being considered under the Consent Agenda; and as detailed in the RCA and re- lated attachments dated January 4, 2016. Councilmember McGehee reminded her City Council colleagues going forward that the compensation study recently done for non-union staff, decided by the City Council to be implemented at 98% of the average, continued to languish. Coun- cilmember McGehee noted that since that decision, the City Council had consist- ently approved lower cost of living adjustments (COLA) for those non-union em- ployees than that of other cities in the metropolitan area. Since the City Council approved a 2% COLA for non-union employees for 2016, but this union contract represented a 2.75% increase, the recent first contract for firefighters came in at 12%, and she anticipated 2.5% for the remaining union contract, she opined that the City Council needed to consider the ramifications for these non-union em- ployees. Councilmember McGehee encouraged the City Council to consider ad- dressing some parity and equity for all staff, or her suggestion would be that those reinaining non-union employees consider organizing as well.
