AGENDA ITEMS
1. MR #18099 – FACILITIES MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT/FACILITIES MAINTENANCE &
OPERATIONS DIVISION – POSITION DELETIONS AND POSITION CREATIONS
The Department of Facilities Management is seeking the deletion of sixteen (16) part-time 1,000 hours
General Helper positions and the creation of four (4) full-time Groundskeeper I positions in the Facilities
Maintenance and Operations Division/Grounds Maintenance Unit. This change will improve service to
customers and eliminate the difficulty with recruiting, training and retaining employees. The funding for
the four full-time Groundskeeper I positions will be covered by the deletion of the 16 part -time General
Helper positions and savings realized from bringing snow removal, salting, mowing and tree care
services in-house.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer and Bowman absent.
2. HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – DEFINED CONTRIBUTION (DC) 401(a) PLAN
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
Ms. Frank provided copies of the Retirement Board minutes of April 26, 2018 to reflect that the
Retirement Board approved the proposed Defined Contribution (DC) 401(a) Plan Amendment and
Restatement. These proposed amendments will bring the plan document in line with current
administration provisions. All proposed language was provided by legal counsel. The amendments
pertain to the definition of Eligible Retirement Plan (Section 1.19), definition of Trust (Section 1.35),
Break in Service (Section 2.3), Normal Retirement (Section 5.2), retitle and redefine Section 5.7 and
add a new section to clarify when an ineligible employee may take a distribution from the Plan (Section
5.10).
Zack moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by Weipert.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer and Bowman absent.
