EAC MEETING MINUTES
JUNE 29, 2007
COUNCIL COMMISSION ROOM
The Employee Action Committee meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m.
EAC Members Present: Doc Miller, Bruce Johnson, John Rued, Rick Nelson, Virginia Carter,
Tom Agnes, Camille Worley, Tom Bublitz and Kristi Commers. Also present was City Manager
Curt Boganey.
The City Manager provided a brief overview of the history of the EAC and the roles the EAC
traditionally played. It was noted that city departments, such as Human Resources, have
absorbed many of the original roles of the EAC. The City Manager surveyed surrounding cities
as to whether a committee such as the EAC existed at each city and what role the committee
performed.
The City Manager identified four areas of need that the EAC could play a role:
Employee Recognition Programs – The City Manager would like to
expand/improve on employee recognition programs. Recent state legislation
allows local governments to fund these programs within limitations.
Community Service Activities – These activities have value as a vehicle for
employees to give back to the community. These activities also build a sense of
community within the city.
Liaison between individual departments and City Manager (i.e. provide feedback
from staff to City Manager).
Social Activities – These activities would require fundraising and are considered
nice but not necessary.
The EAC would serve the role as a coordinating group to identify activities, set a calendar and
solicit volunteers for planning and implementation. The EAC would begin meeting quarterly.
The next meeting will be on July 18 and the City Manager will discuss a draft of the EAC policy
statement with the members. The committee will also discuss whether to rename the committee.
