<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council 4.9 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br /> <br />ConsentDecember 7, 2015Cal Portner, City Administrator <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Pay Out of Excess Accrual Vacation Time <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested <br /> <br />Approve, by motion, the pay out of excess accrual vacation time to Sergeant Bryan Vita. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br /> <br />Detective Sergeant Bryan Vita has given notice that he plans to retire at the end of December. When <br />employees leave employment with the city, they are paid out their accrued vacation balance. <br /> <br />For active employees, our policy allows employees to carryover 240 hours of banked vacation time from <br />one year to the next and any balance over 240 hours is forfeited. Since Sergeant Vita plans to retire <br />before the end of the year, he hasn’t made plans to use the vacation time he would be subject to losing. <br /> <br />Our police department has been working to hire and train officers to get back to full staffing following <br />Chief Rolfe’s retirement, Officer Mathiowetz’s resignation, and Officer Besser’s death. We are very close <br />but still have three new officers in the field training process. Sergeant Vita is able to continue working for <br />a few more months but the loss of accrued vacation is a concern. Since the vacation would be paid upon <br />his retirement and he is working longer for our benefit, we would like to pay him for any vacation hours <br />he would be otherwise due to lose at the end of this year. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br /> <br />There is no financial impact for the payout. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />
