City Council Minutes <br /> February 2, 2016 <br /> Page 11 of 12 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Council Member Akerson stated that the City Code was adopted in <br /> January of 2013 and includes a $15 special meeting pay for Council <br /> Members. He noted that prior to the January 5, 2016 Council Meeting <br /> past payroll precedence did not account for special meeting pay when <br /> these meetings were held on the same date as regular Council meetings. <br /> Council Member Akerson stated that the past precedence was a <br /> misrepresentation of the City Code and possible disciplinary action should <br /> be taken to rectify the situation with possible retroactive pay for the <br /> Council. <br /> Nancy Malecha informed the Council that per Council Member Akerson's <br /> request she did contact the City Attorney about this matter. The City <br /> Attorney stated that for retroactive pay to occur the Council must approve <br /> a retroactive date and the City Attorney recommends that this date be <br /> after the last election. <br /> Mayor Sjoblad stated he is in favor of the $15 special meeting pay for all <br /> special meetings effective January 5, 2016 and does not wish to pursue <br /> any retroactive pay. <br /> Council Member Loukota stated that he is in favor of the $15 special <br /> meeting pay for all special meetings moving forward from the January 5, <br /> 2016 Council Meeting. <br /> Council Member Pederson stated that he assumed from the January 5, <br /> 2016 Council discussion that the special meeting pay for all special <br /> meetings would become effective in January 2016 and he supports this. <br /> He further noted that this issue has been resolved and no further <br /> disciplinary action is needed. <br /> The consensus of the Council agreed that Council Members will be paid <br /> for all special meetings regardless of the date on which they are held <br /> effective January 5, 2016 and they will not pursue any retroactive special <br /> meeting pay or disciplinary action. <br /> 11.
