Schnelle (City Employee) Clayton R. Berg (City Employee) The purpose of this Council Personnel Committee meeting was to discuss the following subject matters: l) Councilman Reimann asked if the Public Works Department had a definite policy in regards to coffee breaks smd lunch breaks as the Police Depart- ment. Councilman Reimann asked how Merle's time was accounted for and the use of the City pickup truck in regards to taking it home. The City Administrator stated that Merle served in a supervisory capacity which meant he would be required to exceed the normal 40 hours work week. Further, it would be difficult to have him take coffee breaks and lunch breaks at set times. Council Personnel Cormmittee agreed that Merle's duties were more involved as a supervisor. 2) Discussion was held on having the City Council review the City purchase orders prior to the purchases being made by the City Staff. The City Administrator cited that the Council was only to review the pur- chases that were for new items. It was not meant for Council to review items that were of a repair or replacement nature, etc. The City Admini- strator stated he would prefer not to submit the above type purchases to the Council as it created more work. Council Personnel Committee stated they were satisfied with the City Staff in handling of purchases. Con- sequently, this new routine of submitting purchase orders to Council for purchase approval except where policy or State law dictates this will be accomplished. 3) City Administrator discussed with the Council Personnel Committee about the City of R~E~ey leasing a data input equipment which would allow the City of R~m~ey to input their own data into the computer which is located at the City of Anoka. Secondly, the City Administrator asked if the Council Personnel Committee of the possibility of having Sheila Beyer take a bookkeeping I Course at the Anoka-R~m~ey Junior College and the City picking up the cost of this course which would be approximately $58.00. He stated that this would not be breaking the Council's policy as far as he could see. Council Personnel/February 13, 1981 Page 1
