Lobaito, City Administrator Date: January 10, 2022 For: July 14, 1999 Regular City Council Meeting Subject: Collective Bargaining Agreements Enclosed is the explanation from Attorney Stuart Gordon from Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle, answering questions that were raised at the last City Council meeting regarding the MCPOA Unit II Collective Bargaining Agreement. In addition, a copy of the side letter is attached for your review along with the original agenda supplement outlining the changes to the Agreement. mmg A G E N D A S U P P L E M E N T TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John A. Lobaito, City Administrator FOR: July 14, 1999 Regular City Council Meeting RE: McHenry Savings Bank Development - Route 31 and Petersen Farm RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City approve Mr. Marinangel’s request and authorize the Mayor to execute any necessary documents for the implementation of option three outlined in the attached letter. The attached letter is follow up to a meeting last Tuesday, June 30, 1999, in which Jim Marinangel discussed the possibility of a joint project with the City that will benefit the City and the McHenry Savings Bank. As outlined in the letter, there is a small amount of wetlands on the proposed Route 31 development site of the McHenry Savings Bank that must be mitigated. The Army Corps of Engineers has provided three options. Mr. Marinangel is seeking the City Council’s approval to use option number three. As the Council is aware, the City is applying for grant money through OSLAD for the purchase of the Petersen Farm. The application incorporates a development plan for the use of the 60-acres that is presently owned by Corlands and submitted to the IDNR. The plan generally specifies a passive use of the property in order to take advantage of its natural aesthetic value. One element of the plan calls for restoration of the wetlands on the property and a trail for interpretive wetland programs. By authorizing the McHenry Savings Bank to proceed with option three, Corlands will receive monies from McHenry Savings Bank to cause the necessary restoration of the wetlands to be completed. This plan will benefit McHenry Savings Bank in that they will be able to use the 80-acres of wetlands on their site. The city will benefit by realizing a savings equal to the cost of restoring the wetlands. To initiate option three the city must direct Corlands to accept the payment for the mitigated wetlands and proceed with the project. mmg FINANCE/PERSONNEL COMMITTEE AGENDA TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John A. Lobaito, City Administrator FOR: July 13, 1999 Finance/Personnel Committee Meeting RE: Personnel Once Susan Christensen resigned from her position as Principal Accounting Clerk, three staff members were instrumental in seeing that her tasks continued to be completed: Kathi Kunzer, Rhonda Rushing, and Kris Paprocki. These three employees were assigned the duties associated with the Principal Accounting Clerk. The process of hiring a replacement for Susan took several months. During this time, these employees continued with their regular duties while performing their new assignments in an exemplary manner. The transition period was stressful and difficult for all involved, but was made easier by the efforts of these employees. They demonstrated an attitude of team play and a desire to do what it takes to get the job done. Although the daily demand to complete their tasks, as well as their new assignments was great, they performed without complaint. The efforts of these employees and commitment to the City should be recognized. It is the attitude and environment that the city should promote. The employees are the number one resource the City has and the City should take care to retain employees of this caliber. Therefore, it is recommended each of these employees receive $500 for their unselfish attitude and commitment to “get the job done” during this transition period. mmg LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING This is written to memorialize the mutual understanding of the City of McHenry and the McHenry Police Officers Association, Unit II (MCPOA) concerning the impact of the provisions of the Fair labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 207(a) et seq. on the compensation to be paid to telecommunicators working the schedule established in the collective bargaining agreement for the period of time subsequent to January 1, 2000. The letter of understanding has been necessitated because of questions raised concerning the potential lack of specificity in the ”overtime pay” provisions in § 5.4 of the agreement. It is the understanding of the City of McHenry and MCPOA, Unit II that the Fair Labor Standards Act does not impose a duty, on the City of McHenry, to pay overtime compensation to telecommunicators working the schedule established in § 5.2 of the agreement for telecommunicators (defined therein as ‘shift employee’). It is further the understanding of the City and MCPOA, Unit II that such shift employees are not entitled to overtime because the terms of their employment fulfills the exceptions found in 29 U.S.C. § 207(f); that is, those employees are working pursuant to an agreement made as a result of collective bargaining, the duties of those shift employees necessitate irregular hours of work, the agreement specifies a regular rate of pay not less than the minimum hourly rate established pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the shift employees will receive compensation at not less than one-and-one-half times such rate for all hours worked in excess of the work week established in the agreement, and because the agreement provides specified pay for a work week of not more than 60-hours.
