the opportunity to ask for things. He stated another strategy was to offer extras to try to lure a <br />quality candidate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell referenced the heading Termination Benefits and asked if would be a big <br />deal to switch “employee agrees to give employer 30-day advance notice if they are going to leave” <br />to 60 days or is 30 days standard. <br /> <br />City Attorney Knaak replied it is not, he took the minimum out there. He stated it was however <br />they wanted to do it. He stated City Administrator Ulrich suggested 45 days. He stated 60 days <br />is certainly appropriate. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell commented it would be nice to have more time if someone decides to <br />leave. <br /> <br />City Attorney Knaak replied that is up to the Council. He suggested Councilmembers email <br />suggested changes and he would consolidate them if there are a lot. <br /> <br />Mayor Kuzma commented he liked starting at a base because it may depend on the experience <br />level of the candidates so the asks may be different. <br /> <br />City Attorney Knaak replied what he has is pretty bare bones. He thought they would get a quality <br />applicant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff agreed starting at 60 days and if there is push back go to 45 days.
