Regular Agenda 6.1 The Council will consider approval of disbursements of more than $25,000 submitted by the finance department to the City Council, a list that is on file in the office of the finance department. Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,000. 6.2 The Council will consider adoption of a resolution approving a CIC (condominium) plat for 6613 36th Ave. N. The property owner recently completed a permitted two-family dwelling on this property and has applied for city approval of a Common Interest Community (CIC) plat. The CIC plat would divide the structure into a condominium form of ownership so that each unit could be sold to an owner-occupant, but the property would continue to be comprised of one building on one lot so there are no applicable subdivision standards in city code. At its Nov. 13 meeting, the Planning Commission split 4-4 on recommending approval, which means the application is forwarded to the City Council without a recommendation from the Commission. State law protects the CIC form of ownership and typically this type of change in the form of ownership alone is not subject to city approval. As such, staff and the city attorney recommend approval of the CIC plat. 6.3 The Council will consider acceptance of the 2024-2033 Long-Term Plan. As part of the two-year budget process, the Council reviews a 10-year plan for capital funds and projects, which is titled the Long-Term Plan. The Council’s most recent review of the 2024 – 2033 Long-Term Plan was at the Nov. 9 work session. Recommend the Council accept the 2024 – 2033 Long-Term Plan. 6.4 The Council will consider a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS), Local 56 (police supervisors). Last year, the City Council approved an agreement with LELS, Local 56 (police supervisors) that addressed 2023, 2024, and 2025 wages, as well as 2023 health insurance contributions including a re-opener for 2024 health insurance contributions. Staff met with representatives of Local 56 and negotiated a settlement for 2024 health insurance contributions. Recommend approval of 2024 health insurance contributions for LELS, Local 56 (police supervisors). 7. Announcements a.
