NIINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL Mayfield Village November 26, 1991 The Council of Mayfield Village met in Special Session on Tuesday, November 26, 1991, at 8:23 a.m. in the Council Chambers at the Mayf'ield Village Hall. Council President Bruce Rinker presided. Roll Call: Present: Mr. Basile, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Ferrante, Mr. Flynn, Mrs. Mills, Mr. Pietrafese (8:26 a.m.), and Mr. Rinker Absent: None Also Present Were: Mr. Amendola, Lt. Girbino, Lt. Jay, Chief Mohr, Mr. Ramos, and Miss Heath Mr. Ramos said this meeting was called to discuss an ordinance which was created in response to Council and Department Heads' concerns regarding part-time employees. There has been much discussion about this with the Finance Department They have taken the position that certain benefits may accrue to employees who work regularly in excess of 20 hours a week throughout the year. This ordinance was created in order to address these concerns and to assist Department Heads. This ordinance also makes conections to 1992 annual salary amounts pursuant to the Finance Department's request The conections are for salazy amounts that may have been typographical errors on the original ordinance, (for example--some salaries on the original ordinance decreased in 1992.) Mr. Ramos said there has been much debate on this issue. There is no definirion for part- time employees either in the Federal or State law, so rather than trying to define what a part-time employee is for purposes of this ordinance, they will address what a full-time employee is. Mr. Pietrafese arrived at this time (8:26 a.m.) Mr. Ramos explained and read the change in Section 1(B) which is listed on page five of the ordinance. Mr. Ramos said that to make sure a part-time employee understands they are a part-time employee, they will be asked to sign a waiver acknowledging they aze part-time and understand that they are not entitled to any benefits according to our ordinance. - Mr. Rinker asked if the benefits to which Mr. Ramos alluded to are spelled out anywhere. Mr. Ramos said that throughout the ordinance there is reference to benefits that accrue to permanent full-time employees. He said that Mr. Patrick still has some reservations about this concept applied in this ordinance, however, other municipalities have done this. Mr. Rinker said he is rather leery of it and explained the reasons for his concern. Mr. Rinker asked if there was some way to track how hours aze being divided in the personnel. He said if Council is aware that some employees are used more exclusively than others, they should have the opportunity to ask why that is being done.
