Finance Committee Minutes

• Discuss Military Leave for Police Officer Daniel Gaenslen.
2
Chief Westphal stated that this Officer has been ordered to active duty from the beginning of
January to the first part of February. The employee Handbook offers 10 days in which they are
made whole in salary and benefits. They have to come to Finance on a case by case basis to
ask for additional days; they are asking for 12 additional days. If the additional time is used and
the officer does not return to duty with the City of Muskego, he would have to pay back that
money. A discussion followed concerning the time period and whether or not it should be made
a part of the policy. The Mayor recommended to amend the employee handbook to include this
process keeping it on a case by case basis for a certain amount of time (10 or 15 days). After
that, it has to go back to the Finance Committee for approval. If the length of service is beyond
that, we should have that in the handbook so that is spelled out. It was agreed that the
employee handbook be revised.
Moved by Alderperson Madden seconded by Alderperson Kubacki to Recommend
Approval. Motion Passed Unanimously.

FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Director Mueller highlighted some of the major activities:
• There will not be a February election which should save the City about $10,000 as well as
significant staff time.
• Tax Roll — collections averaged $2 million per day throughout December
• The recent bond refunding outcome resulted in a net interest cost of $1.79% saving the City
$812,505 over the remaining term of the loan
• The 3rd quarter revenue over expenditures reflected a slight decrease of approximately
$270,000 over the prior year. This is mainly due to the rising fuel, utilities, supplies costs along
with the low investment earnings. Current year end projections indicate break even results.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ANY OTHER BUSINESS AS AUTHORIZED BY LAW — None.
ADJOURNMENT
