Councilmember Buscher noted that the City’s ordinance is already much more all-encompassing <br />than the State statute, and she does not think they need to insert a breastfeeding exemption into <br />this, as it is already protected by State statute. She added that moving forward when there are <br />Supreme Court decisions made her think they can just be reviewed by City Attorney Knaak rather <br />than by the Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman asked if this would change anything for the Police Department. <br /> <br />Police Captain Dahlberg said this is a non-issue and the Supreme Court decision does not change <br />anything that would change the Department’s day-to-day operations. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to leave the City’s indecent exposure ordinance as is. <br /> <br />2.02: Discussion Regarding Implementing HR Software <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher reviewed the Staff report concerning the implementation <br />of a new HR software. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht said this seems like a no-brainer to him. He noted that he works with these <br />kinds of HR solutions in his day job and knows how beneficial these can be for reporting and <br />security. He asked if they wanted to keep JD Edwards for their accounting work or look at a bigger <br />solution that would also encompass the accounting side. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher said she does not often work with JD Edwards as it is <br />very complex; however, the Finance Department knows the system well, and it works for them. <br /> <br />Councilmember Specht said he is supportive of this; however, he is not typically in favor of <br />committing to large budgetary items outside of the budget season. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman asked if there would be any other systems they could use from NeoGov that <br />would be cost-saving to other software they are currently using. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher shared that they also have a background check software <br />that they could look at using in place of the Police Department having to run all background checks. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman asked that they look at what other services they could possibly get through <br />NeoGov that could be cost savings over a service they already use and report back to the Council. <br />He added that he would also like to negotiate the cost with NeoGov. <br /> <br />Administrative Services Director Lasher said she would also like to request rate caps. She added <br />that the benefits module would also be one she would like to look into. She explained that there <br />will be a learning curve associated with Staff getting familiar with these new systems. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman asked if there are any professional development services offered as a part of this. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / June 10, 2025 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />
