RESOLUTION 2001-89
A RESOLUTION PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO CERTAIN EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY
OF HOPKINS WHO ARE CALLED TO SERVICE WITH THE STATE NATIONAL GUARD
TO PROTECT CITIZENS
WHEREAS, The State of Minnesota has activated the State National Guard to provide additional
protection at local airports, and this call up for extended military duty was
involuntary; and
WHEREAS, persons so called to active military duty frequently suffer from a reduction of their
wages and benefits, thus beating a disproportionate share of the burden of the present
emergency call up; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of this city support the efforts of our National Guard and the men and
women who are involved in the present duty;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE city Council of the City of Hopkins that the
following assistance be provided to employees of the City of Hopkins who are regularly
employed for more than 30 hours or more per week and who are called involuntarily to active
military service to provide additional protection at local airports:
In addition to the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Section 192.26 and following fulfillment of
any of the City's obligations therein, for a period not exceed six (6) months from the first day of
lost employment by the City directly due to such involuntary call to active military service, the
City shall pay to affected employees an amount equal to the difference between their military
pay and 80% of the regular wages the employee(s) otherwise would have received from the City.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall take effect upon passage by the City
Council of the City of Hopkins.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Hopkins this 4th day of December, 2001
