Mr. Morey explained that Dick's Sanitation is proposing to acquire 3.4 acres of property from Outlot A, First Park Lakeville, to expand their outdoor storage area. Dick's Sanitation is located south of County Road 70, east of Dodd Boulevard and west of Holyoke Avenue. The property will be administratively subdivided and incorporated into the preliminary and final plat as Clemmer Second Addition. The total proposed area of the Clemmer Second Addition property is 10.95 acres.

Also, when Humboldt Road is constructed, the pavement will be removed to meet the minimum 10 foot setback requirement. The pavement along the south property line will be removed with the expansion.

Ayes, unanimous. Item 7m Resolution Amending Employee Leave Policy Council Member Bellows voiced his concern that approval of the employee leave policy, which grants 24 hours of paid leave to all benefit eligible non -union full -time employees and a prorated share to all benefit eligible non -union part -time employees, would result in a reduction in service levels. He stated the Council members chose not to reduce the 2010 tax levy because they were not willing to reduce service levels. He stated he feels this action sends the wrong message to Lakeville residents and businesses. Council Member Swecker stated the City Council Personnel Committee discussed this matter and felt it was important to show appreciation to those non -union employees who have taken on an extra burden because of recent staff reductions. Council Member Bellows asked about the monetary value of providing 24 additional leave hours to all non -union employees. Mr. Mielke explained that this is a non -cash benefit, and there is no direct affect on the City budget. The additional leave hours would be added to the employees' existing bank to be taken as time permits. He pointed out that the Personnel Committee considered this action, in part, due to the fact that union employees are receiving a cost of living increase in 2010 as provided in their closed contracts. The additional time off for non- union employees would not involve additional overtime, and all time off must be approved by the employee's supervisor. Council Member Miller asked if the additional 24 hours would need to be taken during this calendar year. Mr. Mielke stated they would not. CITY OF LAKEVILLE COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 19, 2010 Page 6 Council Member Rieb stated she feels it is a matter of equity to the non- union employees, who did not receive a cost of living increase. Mr. Mielke explained that this action will not result in the elimination of specific services or programs, as discussed during the budget process. He pointed out that while all employees agreed to 24 furlough hours in 2009, (and department directors agreed to 40 hours) not all employees received a wage increase in 2010. Council Member Swecker asked if there was any feedback related to service reductions from the residents last year when City employees took furloughs. Mr. Mielke stated there was not. 10.08 Motion was made by Rieb, seconded Swecker to approve Resolution No. 10 -08 amending the Employee Leave Policy. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Rieb, Miller, Dahl, Swecker. Nay, Bellows. Council Member Swecker suggested that, in the future, personnel matters be placed on the regular agenda for discussion. Mayor Dahl suggested that council members contact staff in advance of the meeting if additional data is needed for an agenda item. New Business Mr. Mielke stated that 19 persons have submitted applications for vacancies on advisory committees. He stated the Council would be interviewing all six Planning Commission applicants next Monday. He suggested the Council decide whether they wish to interview all applicants for the remaining committees. Prior to making appointments to the Telecommunications Commission, he asked the Council to review the duties and responsibilities of that committee.
