The Planning Director explained that previous action of the Planning Commission ~ recommended setback sidewalks, bu~ one property owner would have a very steep d~iveway and would be caused financial hardship by having to relocate his garage. The Planning Commission felt curb sidewalks should be allowed in lieu of setback sidewalks. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Dr. Purdy to approve curb sidewalks for property in the 2300 block on the east side of Friendly Street, as recommended by the Planning Commission. In reply to Dr. Purdy's question, the Public Works Director explained that their department prefers setback sidewalks to facilitate p1~cement of utilities. To ma ke property owners happy, they permit some curb sidewalks, but it basically robs the City of public right of way. e Vote taken on motion. Motion carried. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to approve Item 14 of the Committee report. Motion carried. 15. Public Works Bids - Bid tabulation sheets were distributed to Council. A public I hearing will accompany award of bids at the regular meeting to allow persons assessed an opportunity to be heard before a commitment is made. Director of Public Works explained that these were two small sidewalk bids on a street where all other lots have sidewalks. Notification had been given to build sidewalks, but the Department has had to bring them to bid. Award is recommended. Mr. Gribskov moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to award the contract. In reply to Mrs. Beal's question, Public Works Director said generally an attempt is made to install storm sewers when building sidewalks. In Bethel-Danebo and Wi,llakenzie areas no storm sewer system has been built. Vote taken on motion. Motion carried. This item was handled previously on the agenda. 16. Trash Accumulation - In reply to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Mills said the staff has no recommendation on the disposal of the accumulation of trash. Mr. Ray reported that the solution appears to be pickup by commercial haulers, but they will charge their regular rate. A report will be forthcoming. 17. Personnel Policy Discussion - ~ersonne1 Director repeated proposed vacation policy and that allowed under present policy. I Patrick Flynn said the Fire Department has always received a third week vacation after the 10th year. Under the new proposal the City would apparently allow the third week to be earned in the 11th year. Mr. Flynn explained the reasoning of the Fire Depart- ment in their request. The Personnel Director explained that vacation time starts accruing the day work begins, ,and that the three weeks should start accruing after ten years of employment. Dr. Purdy felt the employe should get three weeks after completion of the tenth year. . Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mrs. Hayward that an employe would be eligible for three weeks vacation in the 11th year, and in the 21st year would be eligible for four weeks. Mr. Teague wondered if the Council should not hold off on a decision until they studied the entire package. Personnel Director said he would appreciate Council action to ge.t the general feeling of the Council. Mr. Doug Post reiterated employe' group request for three weeks at completion of 7 years and four weeks at completion of 15 years. Council said it had read this. Vote taken on motion. Motion carried. Dr. Purdy asked to devote an evening meeting to resolve Personnel Policies. Mayor said if it could not be resolved in a Committee me~ting, an evening meeting could be arranged. I Mr. Flynn asked for Council discussion on administrative decisions. No action taken. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mr. McDonald to receive and file Items 16 and 17 of the Committee repor t.
