The council considered the levied rates of taxation on real and personal <br /> property in the City for 2008. The council discussed increasing the rate to 4.0 for <br /> City general. Councilmember McDonald moved to increase the City General .4 <br /> mills, from 3.6 to 4.0 mills and the Firemen's Pension to remain at .4 mills for a <br /> grand total of 4.4 mills. Councilmember Carpenter seconded and all voted for. <br /> (C) DISCUSS EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK <br /> The City Clerk said she was not ready to present to the council a revision <br /> to the handbook policy to allow employees to donate sick hours to other <br /> employees. She said she felt like there should be guidelines for donating and <br /> receiving sick and vacation hours and she believes that the current policy of <br /> donating vacation hours is being abused. She asked the council to suspend the <br /> giving of vacation hours until a new policy could be adopted. The council did not <br /> wish to suspend the current policy and asked the clerk to review policies from <br /> other cities and bring something for the council to consider at the next meeting. <br /> (D) REPORT ON BOY SCOUTS PROPOSAL <br /> Mr. Rich Floreczak representing the local Cub Scouts addressed the <br /> council with a first draft agreement between the City and the Cub Scouts for the <br /> use of the old Animal Control facility at 100 Sportsman Drive. The council <br /> discussed the agreement and made several changes. Councilmember <br /> McDonald said they would incorporate the changes and bring an updated <br /> agreement back to the council for consideration. <br /> (E) CODE ENFORCEMENT REGARDING CONDEMNED STRUCTURES <br />
