Unpaid leave of absence/continuation of health plan – Police Chief John Johnson presented
memorandum noting that Peter Lynkiewciz will be candidate for training at the Police Corp Academy.
While attending the Academy the federal government prohibits employment of Police Corp cadets from
other employment while the federal government, as part of this schooling program, employs them.
Lynkiewciz has been employed by the Police Department as a police clerk about a year. Chief Johnson
had to ask Lynkiewicz for his resignation and is requesting an unpaid leave of absence be offered to
Lynkiewicz. Chief Johnson stated that Lynkiewicz has signed a contract with federal government to
return to the City of Muskego. Chief Johnson is requesting that the City of Muskego continue single
health insurance for Lynkiewicz for the duration of the Police Corp Academy so that he has
comprehensive coverage, and that he has no voids in coverage between his current employment with the
Police Department and his employment as a police officer beginning in December 2001, after he
completes the Police Corps curriculum. The request is being made because of offer the Police
Department made to Lynkiewicz to become a Police Officer after successful completion of program and
unwritten policy by the federal government. Ald. Sanders moved to approve offer of 24 week unpaid
leave of absence to Lynkiewicz, continuation of single health insurance for Lynkiewicz, and that a
copy of Chief Johnson’s memorandum be placed with the original approved finance minutes.
Seconded by Ald. Salentine. Carried by all.

approve a not to exceed amount of $190,000.00 on the inverts with the additional $20,000.00
