Weekly to Become Bi-weekly Payroll
The conversion of all of the City's payroll to a bi-weekly system was discussed. City
Manager Saunders and Finance Director Van Zile explained that some of our
employees are paid weekly and some are paid bi-weekly. By converting all employees
to bi-weekly we would save some time administratively as well as reduce the cost of
processing the payroll. Council Members had no objections to this change.
Workers Compensation Gate-Keeper System
The concept of a gate-keeper system for our Workers Compensation claims was
discussed. Finance Director Van Zile explained this procedure and there was no
opposition to moving ahead with this provision in our Workers Compensation
