CONSIDER A RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION <br />PROGRAM <br />Background <br />In April 2007, the City Council approved an Employee Recognition Program that <br />recognizes the following employees: <br />• Employees with at least five years of service are recognized at 5 year intervals <br />and allowed to choose gifts valued at $5 per year service <br />• Employees retiring from the City of Ramsey with at least twenty years of service <br />will be honored at an all -staff cake and coffee reception. <br />The program was implemented prospectively; therefore, a number of employees who had <br />milestone anniversaries prior to the adoption of the program were not recognized. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff is requesting that the City Council consider granting authorization to formally <br />recognize all employees who have had a milestone anniversary and who have not yet <br />been recognized.

Excess funds from the 2007 <br />General Fund Budget could be used to cover this expense. <br />Committee Action <br />Make a motion recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing staff <br />to formally recognize employees o had a milestone anniversary prior to the <br />implementation of the recog. ion p ogram. The employees who fall into this category <br />will be recognized fir thei most re ent milestone anniversary. <br />eifP <br />Reviewed b <br />PC: 3/25/08 <br />Givonna Reed Kone, Human Resources Manager <br />, Heidi Nelson <br />PC CASE # <br />-7 3 <br />
