Montrose City Council dismisses allegations
The motion also said the council will not proceed with further investigation.
The council had previously met in closed session regarding the issue on Jan. 14, Jan. 21 and Feb. 18. On March 18, the council reviewed the report of Groftyan Investigations of Osseo, an outside investigator the council had hired. Article on Groftyan.
Letter to the Editor:
A Meet the Candidates event took place prior to the election and I would like to thank the citizens who set it up and their hard work. For some reason though they did not have to get permission from the City Council to have a Public event at the Community Center whereas others do according to Community Center Policies.
Health Insurance: According to the City Fall 2012 Newsletter "In an effort to save money for the city, the employees volunteered to switch from a co-pay to a high deductible plan in 2009." This health plan change did take place [for all employees]. There is no information that the City Council ever approved the Health Plan change. In another City I was informed the City Council would approve the health plan changes as they do other contracts.
Union: The union contract was approved December 27th. There was a link on the city website for the Meeting Packet but only had the Agenda so the public did not have the opportunity to review it and discuss any concerns with the council. They had stopped emailing out the meeting packets around June 2012 as they are supposedly available on the website.
I would also like to Congratulate the candidates that won the election and Thank them for their hard work in running for public office.
