Council Minutes of 4/18/2006 Councilman Ryan, chairperson of the Intra-Governmental Relations Committee: 1) He has submitted a written copy of his report to the Clerk and asked that it be made a part of the minutes. Also, he provided the written report via a-mail to Council Members. In addition, he has submitted to the Clerk a digitized recording which can be made available to the public. He believes this will be a more accurate method of providing the minutes. The written report is as follows: "INTRA-GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE MEETING DATE: APRIL 12, 2006 ATTENDANCE: RYAN, ORLOWSKI, AND THOSE SIGNING Meeting commenced at 6:00 P.M. 2006-65 Discussion had that portions of the Whereas clauses should be changed to reflect what was the purpose of the legislation. Orlowski indicated that phrasing should be added that both included and indicated what was appropriate and essential for employees in carrying out the functions. It should set out the portion of the activity that only would be engaged in by employees of the City in carrying out the event. Concern was expressed that the legislation was vague in setting out exactly what was to be Bane by employees at an event that would be compensable. Should employees who attend the event be compensated for their attendance? At what point does an employee know that they are overstepping the duties and responsibilities? What are they allowed to do that can they can be compensated? Should every employee who attends such event be considered on the payroll? In that the mayor was unable to attend because of sickness, he could not contribute to the discussion. Motion made by Ryan second by Orlowski that the legislation be sent to legal for their review of the suggestion by Orlowski to change the phrasing of the Whereas to expand on what would be considered appropriate, essential, and therefore compensable when employees are engaged in participation in the event. It seemed best to hold this legislation in Committee so that the mayor has the opportunity to participate in the discussion. Vote on motion taken Ryan yes Orlowski yes.
