MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, December 14, 2015 <br />6:30 o'clock p.m. <br />18. WAYZATA FIRE SERVICE AGREEMENT (continued) <br />Mattick noted there is no termination provision in the contract, and if the contract is approved, it is <br />approved for the year. <br />Levang stated she would be willing to attend a special meeting. <br />McMillan stated it should be properly vetted and that she has no information on what it would cost. <br />Walsh stated if the information is obtained prior to the end of the year, he would also be willing to attend <br />a special meeting. <br />McMillan noted public comment will not be received by then. <br />MOTION: Printup moved, Walsh seconded, to not approve the agreement with the City of <br />Wayzata. VOTE: Ayes 2, Nays 3, McMillan, Levang, and Cornick Opposed. <br />Levang moved, McMillan seconded, to approve the Wayzata Fire Protection Agreement for 2016. <br />VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 2, Printnp and Walsh Opposed. <br />19. 2016 NON-UNION EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION — RESOLUTION NO. 6572 <br />Loftus stated the City Council annually adopts a non-union compensation adjustment and approves an <br />adjustment to the monthly insurance contribution. <br />The resolution also confirms that the City will continue to reimburse employees at the IRS allowed <br />mileage rate in 2016. New this year is a safety shoe reimbursement for certain qualified employees. <br />Walsh asked what the current family plan is that the City contributes. <br />Olson stated a $90 increase was approved earlier in the year, which was 50 percent of the increase. <br />Walsh stated in his view $1,165 is a lot and that he personally would not agree to increase the City's <br />contribution to the family plan. Walsh stated his experience is that most workers do not get that in the <br />private sector. <br />Loftus stated the increase is reflective of the contract negotiations that were had earlier this year. <br />Walsh noted that is for the union workers and that in his view the $1,165 is more than plenty. <br />Levang noted the waiver amount was not changed either. <br />Olson indicated that is decreasing. <br />Page 41 of 44 <br />
