The Gunnison City Council on Jan. 8 voted to adopt a revised city fee schedule (identified in the meeting as Resolution 2025-01), approved an amendment to the personnel leave policy (Resolution 2025-02), authorized payment of the bills on the agenda and approved a motion to move into a closed session on litigation related to real property and water shares.
Resolution 2025-01: Establishing city fee schedule Council members discussed proposed changes to the sewer and storm-drain fee structures, including a proposed tiered sewer rate to address disparities among multifamily, institutional and industrial accounts. Officials cited examples such as the prison and hospital whose water use greatly exceeds single-family residential accounts and discussed options to make rates more equitable going forward. The council voted to pass Resolution 2025-01 with a small change requested during the meeting (removal of one item from the sewer fee packet during the presentation). The motion passed by roll call; the meeting record shows the motion was moved and seconded and the presiding roll call returned affirmative votes.
Resolution 2025-02: Personnel leave policy Council members reviewed proposed amendments to the personnel policy to align local policy with federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) requirements and to clarify paid break schedules and comp-time rules. The council discussed maximum sick-leave accruals, comp-time caps and certification requirements for FMLA-type leaves. After discussion, the council voted to adopt Resolution 2025-02 as amended in the meeting.
Payment of bills The council approved payment of the bills presented at the meeting, totaling $1,719,351.98 as shown in the agenda packet. A motion to pay the bills was made, seconded and approved by the council.
Closed session Near the end of the meeting the council voted to move into a closed session to discuss litigation and matters related to the purchase, exchange or lease of real property; the motion was seconded and carried.
