Lori Johnson stated that because of the way vacation time is earned, employees would be unable to take even a two week vacation in the first several months of each year because they would not have accumulated enough hours unless they were allowed to carryover sufficient vacation time from the previous year. After further discussion, the Council concurred with Ms. Johnson. SiQk Ti!De The use of sick time and the accumulation rate of sick time was discussed. Mayor Tralle indicated that the City's current policy of 12 accumulated sick days per year was too lenient. The Council discussed the use of sick time for caring for sick children and whether it would be better to use personal leave days for this type of occurrence. Discussion was also held regarding whether the City should allow for family emergency days.

He indicated that he was unsure as to whether the Planning Commission had the authority to authorize the Rules and Procedures. He further indicated that the Planning Commission is an advisory board and that they should not be adopting their own rules and procedures, but that they should be recommending them to the Council for Council consideration. Mayor Tralle also commented on the work schedule which the Planning Commission has laid out for the Building and Zoning Department. He indicated that he is uncertain if this is the job of the Planning Commission. He stated that the Building and Zoning Department is not just responsible to the Planning Commission.
