Absent: Councilmember LeTourneau. 7.04: Consider Adoption of Resolution #16-12-247 to Approve the City's 2017 Non -Union Health Insurance Contributions and Non -Union Cost of Living Adjustments Human Resources Manager Lasher reviewed the staff report and recommendation to approve the non -union employee City health insurance contributions and cost of living adjustments (COLA) as accounted for in the 2017 City budget. The non -union health insurance contributions and COLA are the same amounts as discussed with the City Council for all other employee groups, including AFSCME, LELS-Patrol and LELS-Sergeants; this approach has proven to be an effective way to maintain internal equity, minimize the complexity of the budget and keep the payroll process streamlined.

He noted that this action is similar to the action that was taken for the business zoning district to allow a second permanent sign and advised that the ordinance would mirror that language. Councilmember Riley stated that this appears to just be cleaning up language to make it more consistent, noting that the Planning Commission also recommended approval.
