MEMORANDUM
To:
James E. Schrantz, City Administrator
In Re:
d'Arcy Bosell, zoning Administrator
Ordinance No.8, Section 8.07 - Signs
From:
Date:
23 August 1988
I have received two (2) inquiries from political candidates as to
the sign requirements in the City of Andover.
Ordinance No.8 at Section 8.07.2 provides that "No signs shall
hereafter be erected, re-erected, constructed, altered or
maintained except as provided by this Ordinance and a permit for
the same has been issued by the zoning Officer. A separate
permit shall be required for each sign." Subsection B provides
that "A fee of 50 cents per square foot for each sign shall be
paid except there shall be no fee for governmental units or non-
profit organizations."

I' ())/
vJv ~<1 f)
\.tJ" 0
\1'1- ~ ~ S Historically, the City has not issued sign permits for election
~I A0~SignS' which is outside what the Ordinance states. One reason
~ ~ 1f1' may be the inability to manage the signs since their duration is
~\ ~ short, their location is temporary and their number is usually a
~'J U good guess. Several neighboring communities alleviate this
7 ~ Gproblem by accepting one (1) permit and assessing a fee of
~, C approximately $25.00. This fee would cover the signs plus the
~ .r( ..-SPOSSibility of having to remove any signs which are not removed
.1~v -'\01 by the candidate or thei r campaign workers.
101 Both candidates which have contacted me are agreeable to the one
~DJ d (1) permit and a fee of $25.00. This, however, is a deviation
~7 ~b from the Ordinance. The dilemma is this... do we continue to
0/1 ignore what the Ordinance says and not issue any sign permits for
~ ' election signs or do we attempt to bring the candidates into
/' compliance with the Ordinance and issue a permit as set out above
/ or do we enforce the Ordinance as it is written (and would so
c=v apply to all candidates)?
c;) Your prompt response is appreciated.
Section 8.07.5(1) provides that "Temporary signs shall include
election signs on residential property, commercial special sales
signs, special occasions signs, and similar signs."
(J) further provides that "Election signs are permitted in any
district on private property. Such signs must be temoved within
fifteen (15) days following the election date."

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
pursuant to our Law Enforcement contract, the County of Anoka and
the Anoka county Sheriff's Office would like to renew the contract
for one year effective January 1, 1989 through December 31, 1989.
Attached is a new rate schedule for sixteen (16) hour coverage,
plus an additional forty (40) hours per week, showing a cost of
$232,218.00. In addition to a wage increase which in turn affects
the cost of employee benefits, the additional cost over the 1988
contract is driven by the County's goal, communicated to all county
departments in october 1987, of achieving recovery of the most
appropriate proportion of the actual costs incurred by the County
in providing services. To that end, the pricing of contracts for
service is subj ect to review by the Assistant to the County
Administrator and the Director of Accounting and Central Services.
specificallY, as shown on the rate schedule, there is now a charge
for administrative costs to help cover the cost of supervision,
typing, filing, and other areas of clerical support. Also included
in the benefits schedule is an allocation for Workers compensation
benefits, which has not been a part of previous rate schedules, but
is part of the County's personnel costs.
The money received from the state for police state Aid has
increased for 1988 to $3,998.23 per officer. Although this figure
is determined by the state and is thus subject to fluctuation, this
would mean $15,992.92 applied to the cost of the 1989 contract,
leaving a net cost of $216,226.

Dear Mr. Hawkins:
I have received your letter of August 19, 1988.
I also have been unable to confirm that any 1988 legislation addressed the
issue of membership votes in volunteer fire departments, and I have been
unable to reach Bill Bruen. However, Charging Party is asking for
reinstatement without a membership vote as a term for conciliation.
You asked for clarification of lost wages and benefits. Charging Party's
conciliation propOsal included restoration of her pension benefits to the
amount and tenns which would have existed had she not been terminated.
Charging Party is uncertain as to exactly how contributions to the individual
pension plan benefit. levels are determined. Perhaps the City Administrator or
Personnel Department could provide this information. If the City is willing
to address this issue, the parties could jointly determine the basis to
project whB;t Charging Party's pension plan status would have been had she not
been terminat~.
I apologize for using the term "lost wages" instead of financial remedy.
Although Andover' firefighters do not receive regular wages, Charging Party
states firefighters do receive compensation on an annual basis. Charging
Party's conciliation term of a lump sum of $5000 represents the total
financial remedy she is asking at this time.
As you know, the statutory provisions for remedy include up to treble
compensatory damages, damages for mental anguish and suffering, reasonable
attorney's fees, civil penalties, and additional punitive damages not
exceeding $6000 (Minnesota Statutes 363.071, subd. 2). Clearly, a lump sum of
$5000 represents a small portion of what Charging Party might receive through
litigation.
Essentially, the purpose of my July 27th letter was to determine whether or
not the City was willing to move from the positions cited in #4 and #7 of your
July 13th letter, wherein the city refused to adjust Charging Party's pension
status or pay any amount of money for damages.

Re: Sale of Bunker Lake Road Property
Dear Mr. Schrantz:
I was told by someone from your office, whose name I
did not write down, that any proposed sale of the property on
Bunker Lake Road by parmak, Inc. ("parmak") should be directed
to your attention. As you mayor may not know, parmak holds a
mortgage on property on Bunker Lake Road commonly referred to
as Cecil Heidelberger's tire yard ("Tire Yard"). In June, 1988,
and probably before, Mr. and Mrs. Heidelberger defaulted on the
terms of the note and mortgage.
A mortgage foreclosure sale was duly held before the
Anoka County Sheriff on August 18, 1988. The purchaser at the
foreclosure sale was Parmak, the mortgagee. As your city
attorney could tell you, the redemption period is one year from
the date of the foreclosure sale. Also, junior liens, if any,
have five days to redeem from the foreclosure sale. Thus, on
August 23, 1989 Parmak will have clear title to the property.
In the interim, however, Parmak can sell the Sheriff's
Certificate from the August 18, 1988 foreclosure sale to any
interested party.
Based on our research and discussions, it is my under-
standing that the city is interested in acquiring some or all
of the properties along Bunker Lake Road for development

purposes. parmak would be pleased to discuss with you the
possible sale of the Tire Yard property to the city. To effect
a quick sale, the Sheriff's Certificate can be purchased by the
city. If the city wanted to wait until August, 1989, then clear
title could be purchased by the city.
It is my understanding that property nearby recently
sold for $24,000 an acre. Further, it is my understanding that
landowners around the area in the event of condemnation
proceedings may claim $30,000 per acre. parmak is interested
in getting out of the area and I will simply state that our price
is negotiable. By purchasing Parmak's property rights (which
right now is the Sheriff's Certificate) at a reasonable price,
the city may be able to establish a reasonable price per acre
for the area in the event it needs to proceed by way of
condemnation on other parcels of property.
Please contact me regarding the city's interest in
purchasing the Tire Yard on Bunker Lake Road from parmak either
through a purchase of the Sheriff's Certificate or clear title
in August,. 1989.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Very truly yours,

Contlnued Assessment
Hearingj87-12/Wobegon
Woods 4 .
BY: James E. Schrantz
...
The City Council continued the assessment hearing on 87-12/Wobegon
Woods so the Council could review the area.
The Contractor is scheduled to be in to complete the work on the
14th.
The project was bid as topsoil shoulders with seed. Some sod was
placed in areas where there was concern for erosion, not as a
favor to a property owner.
The request to postpone the assessment indefinitely without
interest cost cannot be done. If it was done, then the rest of
the City would pay for this. I am sure that this area would not
like to pay costs for other areas of the City.

The Developer has asked for a public hearing on the proposed

two lots facing the proposed street versus the two lots he has now
facing Bunker Lake Boulevard.
NOTE: Will the City order the Bent Creek project and assess
McCabe for his benefit as shown in the feasibility report as

Re: Woodland Development Sign
Dear Jim:
I have reviewed Ordinance No.8 and am writing a letter to
apprise the City of my comments concerning the Woodland
Development Sign. According to the information provided at the
City Council this sign is located within a City right-of-way.
Section 8.07 of Ordinance No.8, Subsection E(h) says that signs
shall not be permitted within the public right-of-way or ease-
ments except as authorized by the governing body under
Subsection Y of this section. Subsection Y only allows signs on
benches, news stands, cab stands, bus stop shelters, church
directional signs and similar places. I do not believe that the
type of residential sign that Woodland has proposed would fall
within any of the categories found in such Subsection Y.
Accordingly the placement of this sign wi thin the right-of-way
is not allowed.
If the City Council feels that the location of the sign within
the right-of-way may have been improperly approved by the City
it may be possible to consider a variance under Section 5.04
which states "where there are practical difficulties or
unnecessary hardships in any way in carrying out the strict
letter of this provision, a variance may be granted".
o
Since the Council did discuss in general these type of residen-
tial signs I reviewed the remainder of the sign section and find
that we do not have a clear definition of a residential subdivi-
sion identification sign. Since most of these signs do not
advertise property for sale, lease or rent they would not be
o
o
Mr. James E. Schrantz

considered real estate signs under the sign ordinance. The
closest classification that they would fall into would be
identification signs since they would be nameplate signs
identifying a nonbusiness use which would be the residential
subdivision itself. The City Council may wish the planner and
planning commission to consider an amendment to the sign section
to clearly deal with these types of signs including their loca-
tion, size and maintenance in the future.

Deputy Scott Roessler and I have been to Woodland Terrace to
review the traffic control request from area residents. From
discussions with Scott, these stop signs may cause the resident to
slow up some, but others will continue to ignore the control as
long as there is no one to patrol the area.
It does not appear other traffic control devices are necessary for
the area at this time.

The City Council is requested to approve the authorization to advertise
for the bid of an $18,000 four wheel drive one ton pickup with a dump box,
plow, and sander.
In the Streets and Highways budget there is $9,000 and another $9,000 in
the Snow and Ice budget that was to be used for a new four wheel drive
pickup.
A total of $18,000 is available that I would like to use to purchase a four
wheel drive one ton pickup with dump box, plow and sander.
This is a lot lower truck and can be used winter and summer, for all departments
and will not be sitting around in the winter like many of our two wheel drive
pickups.

The City Council is requested to make a decision on the interest
on development contract where the development contract is silent
on interest.
The City Council discussed this in the past and I was directed to
check this with Bill Hawkins.
Bill stated that the City did not have to pay interest where the
contract was silent, but could if the council chose to. He
suggested the City could pay passbook rate.
In the development contracts since 1983, we have used interest
bearing escrow funding on most contracts.
I mailed Wayne the attached letter stating the City would not pay
interest on a contract entered into before 1983.

SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION - MAY 10, 1988
MINUTES
A Special Wor:-k Session of the Andover City Council was called to order
by Mayor Jerry Windschitl on May 10, 1988, 7:30 p.m., at the Andover
City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard NW, Andover:-, Minnesota.

GIS COMPUTER SYSTEM JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT
Mr. Schrantz r:-eviewed the information on the Geogr:-aphic Infor:-mation
Systems task force to study whether or:- not the county needs such a
system. The $36,000 for:- estimated consultant expense would be split
among the cities participating. The most it would cost the City for:-
the study would be $2,000
Council was unsur:-e of how much it would cost, what benefit it would be
to th City, and whether this is a commitment should such a system be
r:-ecommended. It was then agreed to table the matter:- to deter:-mine
whether or not other cities in the county will be par:-ticipating.
MOTION by Apel, Seconded by Or:-ttel, to table this until further:-
infor:-mation develops. Motion car:-r:-Ied unanimously.
(Council then called a Housing and Redevelopment Author:-ity Meeting.
7:43 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 7:50 p.m.)
POLICY DISCUSSION
Mr. Schrantz explained the fir:-st development contracts wer:-e silent on
the issue of inter:-est to be paid on the escr:-ow funds. He asked
whether Andover should pay that inter:-est; and if so, at what rate. He
also noted the impact to Andover if inter:-est were paid.
Council thought ther:-e may be a State law requir:-ing the payment of
Inter:-est, asking that the City Attor:-ney r:-eview the matter and pr:-ovide
counsel.
o
MOTION by Apel, Seconded by Elling, that we have Bill (Hawkins)
check out the law r:- lating to this and tell us what the minimum amount
of inter:-est is that we can pay legally on escr:-ow accounts. Motion
car:-ried unanimously.

Interest on escrow funds for development contracts.
When the City first started using development contracts and
escrowing funds, the agreements were silent on the issue of
interest to be paid on the escrow funds.
In 1983 interest rates were higher and the developers were using
different forms of escrow where they could get interest on t~e
escrow.
Actual Case -Rademacker
Escrow $36,450 in 19~3 for project 80-3.
He wants to know if Andover will pay interest on the funds.
I recommend that Andover not pay interest until at least 1983.
If Andover was to pay interest from 1983 to date, the costs as
shown on the attached sheet.
I don't know of any other pre-1983 development contracts.
The question is 1) should Andover pay the interest or not; 2) if
so, what rate?
Attached is a calculation starting in 1983 using Andover's
interest rate earned minus 1% for the city investment costs and
overhead.

Re: Dewatering damage to my property from dewatering
Andover project 87-11
Dear Mayor and Council members:
I am writing you this letter because I have not received
an answer to my letters written to both Mr. Todd Haas of
the City of Andover or Mr. John Rodeberg of Toltz, King,
Duvall Anderson and associates on the above. I have
included copies of both of the above letters and the
letter Mr, John Rodeberg of TKDA sent me on August 19,1988.
Prior to the above project (87-11) Toltz, King, Duvall
Anderson and Associates (TKDA) consulting engineers for
the City of Andover, determined through its representive,
Mr. John Rodeberg that a drainage pond and two seperate
drainage easements to the pond were needed on my land for
storm water from the adjacent Winslow Hills residental
development. I consequently granted the drainage ease-
ments to the city of Andover.
However when the contractor dewatered, he did not follow
either of these drainage easements to the pond. The
contractor also did not run the dewatering discharge
into the pond with a pipe or hose like I had requested
of Mr. Todd Haas by phone on June 30, 1988, ins~ead the
contractor discharged this water on three seperate areas
on my land where there ~ !!2. drainaqe easements qranted.
There is erosion on all three sites where this water was
discharged. One area has extreme damage to both the bank
where it was discharged and to the drainage pond. I have
enclosed pictures of all three areas for your review.
As I said before, John Rodeberg of TKDA determined where
these drainage easements were to be located in the first
place so he certainly knew where they were. TKDA, as the
consulting engineers for this project also had the respon-
sibility of inspection to see that things were done right,
so I find it inexcusable that they did not see that this
dewatering was done properly. This is gross negligence
on the part of TKDA.
-~
(2 )
TKDA also staked out the north drainage easement approx-
imately 150ft. beyond what was necessary resulting in the
unnecessary removal of 15 mature oak trees. Again I find
this gross negligence on TKDA'S part.
All of this is bad enough, but the apathy of John Rodeberg
on this is the worst, when he failedtoanswer'my~~ugu~t
31st letter he received on sept.,2~1988. 'iI.calledlhim
on September 14, 1988 and he was on the phone so I req-
uested that he call me back and he never did. When he
still hadn't called me by Sept. 16, 1988 I called back
and the receptionist said he went on vacation and wouldn't
be back until Sept. 27, 1988. I asked for John Davidson,
but he also was gone until some time next week, so I asked
for the next person who could help me and the receptionist
said that would be Mr. Duane Prew, president of TKDA, so
I asked to talk to him. I informed mr. prew of the situation
and told him I was totally disgusted with John Rodeberg's
attitude on this and his complete disregard to do something
on this or even answer my letter is unexcusable on his part.
I don't believe Mr. Rodeberg is doing his job in fullfiling
his duty to the City Of Andover by his "don't give a darn"
attitude and if TKDA can't provide a better engineer than
Mr. Rodeberg as their represenitive to serve Andover, than
I think the city should look into retaining a different
engineering firm.
Meanwhile the erosion damage can only increase every day
it would rain before it is repaired. So I am requesting
that the city take some action on this to see that the
engineers provide me with a detailed plan how they rec-
comend that this dewatering damage can be repaired, so I
can see if it is a satisfactory sOlution. I want to get
this repaired as soon as possible to prevent further
erosion.
I also expect to be fully compensated for all the unnecessary
trees that were removed on my property where TKDA staked
the drainage easement way beyond where it was necessary.
I also expect to be compensated for the permenant damage
done to the drainage pond that they will be unable to
correct. I respectfully request that the Mayor and City
Council answer this letter as soon as possible. I also
still await an answer from Mr. Todd Haas on my August 23,
1988 letter to him that he did indeed inform Mr. Rodeberg
of my request to dewater directly into the pond with either
a pipe or hose and not let the dewatering water run down
the bank like it was done.
Sincerely,
(JJ~~/;;~.:/b

Re: Elementary 'School Utility Improvements
Project 87-11
Andover, Minnesota
Commission No. 8932
Dear Mr. Holasek:
A meeting was held at the Winslow Hills drainage pond 'at 11:00 on Thursday,
August 18, 1988 to discuss damage to your private property surrounding the
pond. Attend I ng the meetl ng were Mel Schul te, Harol d ,I srael son and Tom
Johnson of the Coon Creek Watershed District; Frank Stone of the City of
Andover; Del Zentgraf and John Rodeberg from TKDA; C.W. Houle's foreman,
Bill and his dewatering subcontractor, Larry Netter of DIversified
Dewatering.' .
The dewatering subcontractor admitted damaging your private property by
running a discharge from his dewatering pumps overland and through a
channel he had cut. The channel area washed sand Into the pond, and some
trees were damaged by a backhoe. Two oak trees al so located I n the area
were noted by Frank Stone, Del and the dewatering subcontractor as being
hauled onto the site within the last few days and were not related to work
outsIde of the rIght-of-way. Mr. Stone Indicated that the trees were not
present when you and .he looked at the sl te I ast week. .
Harold,'MeI and Tom IndIcated that the Coon Creek Watershed DistrIct has no
JurisdIction over this matter. They IndIcated that a permit was Issued to
C.W. Houle for dewatering and constructing an outlet Into Coon Creek, but
this pond Is a mile from Coon Creek.
I stated that the dewatering subcontractor and I had reviewed the
dewatering before the project started and we had dl scussed where easements
existed and noted areas where he would need permission from the landowner
to dewater. The pond on your property Is Included In a drainage easement,
as well as easements for uti I It I es proposed to run to the pond. We agree
that he worked outsl de of the easement, and he has I nd I cated that he will
do what Is necessary to correct the situation.

Dear Mr. Haas:
On June 30, 1988 I called you at Andover city Hall and told
you if the sewer c6ntractor WDS going to be dewatering on
Bluebird I wanted him to run a hose down into the drainage
pond and to discharge the water there and not up on top of
the hill as it would erode the bank.
You said that you would contact John Rodeberg of Toltz, King,
Duvall, and Associates (TKDA) the engineer firm employed by
the city to do the engineering and inspection for this sewer
and water pr~ject and notify him of this.
On the evening of August 9, 1988 I viewed the area and found
that when the sewer contractor dewatered Bluebird St. he did
not put a hose down the hill like I had requested of you, but
instead discharged ttie water on top of the hill and l~t it'
run down the bank. To make matters worse he dug a trench
with a backhoe first, needless to say this caused extreme
erosion. He also did not do this on the drainage easement,
but across my property where there was no easement.
The next morning August 10, 1988 I stopped at city hall and
you and Frank Stone of the public works went with me and
viewed the site. When I asked you if you had told John
Rodeberg of TKDA of my request to run a hose into the pond
and not let the water run down the hill, you said that you
did.
Would you please send me a letter at vour earliest convenience
confirming the:~act ~hat yoU had 'noti1ied John Rodobeig bt hhl~.
Thank you.

reviewed the dewatering areas with the dewatering sub-
contractor before, the project was started. Would you
please supply m~ with the name of this individual.
You also said that you agree that the contractor worked

would send me a letter to that effect. As of this date
I have not received anything from him.
Also in the last few days I have discovered another area

Dear Tom:
I have received a ruling from the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment
Standards Administration, Wage and Hour Division. This ruling is in response
to several requests from the Plymouth Fire Department for a clarification on
the status of "Volunteer Fire Department Personnel" who are employed in
another department in the City of Plymouth on a full-time basis.
The bottom line of this ruling is that volunteer "paid on call" firefighters
must be paid an hourly rate for actual hours worked and would be due overtime
compensation for all hours worked over 40 in a work week.
In the second paragraph on page two a statement is made that "Congress did not
intend to discourage or impede volunteer activities undertaken for civic,
charitable, or humanitarian purposes". It appears that Congress did not
address the need for and the use of paid on call firefighters by
municipalities throughout the United States. I would suggest that this matter
be discussed with the members of your assoc~ation and that positive steps be
taken to correct this inequity in addressing the negative impact that this law
places upon the paid on call fire departments throughout the country. I
believe that it is imperative that a concerted effort be generated and that
the real impact of this law be made clear to the Members of Congress.
Please advise me if you share my concerns and what action you intend to
recommend to your association.

Dear Mr. Carlquist:
This is in further response to your letters concerning the
application of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to members of
the city of Plymouth (the City) volunteer Fire Department. We
regret the delay in responding to your inquiry.
The FLSA is the Federal law of most general application
concerning wages and hours of work. This law requires all
covered and nonexempt employees be paid not less than the minimum
wage of $3.35 an hour and not less than one and one-half times
their regular rates of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a
workweek. The provisions of this law apply to all employees of
State and Local governments except those who are specifically
excluded in section 3 (e) (2) (C) of FLSA or who may qualify for
exemption from the minimum wage and/or overtime pay requirements
of the statute.
Regulations, 29 CFR Part 553, contain rules concerning certain
statutory exclusions and exemptions, recordkeeping requirements,
and compensatory time provisions which apply to State and local
government workers in general, in addition to specific rules for
volunteers and for fire protection and law enforcement employees.
A copy of the regulations is enclosed for your information.
In your letter you state that the Fire Department receives
approximately 500 fire calls per year. The average fire call is
slightly less than two hours in length. The City currently has
two full-time employees of the Fire Department and an additional
60 volunteer firefighters who receive on-call compensation when
they respond to fire calls or are involved in training.
Currently, firefighters are required to maintain a 30% response
to fire calls and are required to attend 75% of the monthly
training sessions in a year's time (two training sessions each
month lasting approximately two hours each). The volunteer
firefighters are paid $7.00 per hour for responding to fire calls
and training. The volunteer officers, Lieutenant, captain and
Assistant Chief receive an additional $50, $84 and $2l0
respectively each month. Volunteer firefighters who serve 20
years with the Plymouth Fire Department will be eligible for a
$420 per month pension upon reaching 50 years of age.

You wish to know if the persons "volunteering" to serve as
firefighters must be paid at a rate of one and one-half times
their highest rate of pay when they work more than 40 hours in a
week. You are also concerned whether or not Community Service
Officers can volunteer within the same agency to be volunteer
firefighters. Finally you ask at what rate would you compute
overtime compensation for an employee being paid two different
rates when they work more than 40 hours per week.
Section 3(e) of FLSA provides that individuals performing
volunteer services for units of State and local governments
should not be regarded as "employees" under the statute.
Congress did not intend to discourage or impede volunteer
activities undertaken for civic, charitable, or humanitarian
purposes. Example of services which might be performed on a
volunteer basis include firefighting. See sections 553.100
through 553.l04 of the Regulations.
Whether individuals who perform volunteer work for State and
local governments are employees under FLSA will depend on the
facts present in each situation. Section 3(g) of FLSA defines
the term "employ" as including "to ~uffer or permit to.work," and
defines "employee" as "any individual employed by an employer."
However, the U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that this
definition of "employ" did not "stamp all persons as employees
who, without any express or implied compensation agreement, might
work for their own advantage on the premises of another." (See
Wallina v. Portland Terminal Company, 330 U.S. l48.)
We recognize the fact that the responsibility for public fire
protection is often undertaken by volunteers in their
communities. However, an employee of a public agency employer
such as the District cannot be both a paid employee and an unpaid
"volunteer" while performing the same type of serv ice which the
individual is employed to perform for his or her employer. This
means that the employees to whom you referred cannot perform
services which are similar to or identical with their paid duties
when they respond to emergencies during their Off-duty time as
uncompensated "volunteers."
As indicated in section 553.106, volunteers may be paid expenses,
reasonable benefits, a nominal fee, or any combination thereof,
for their service without losing their status as volunteers.
. ,.
\c
3
Whether such payments to volunteers are nominal must be
considered in context of the economic realities of the total
situation.
You state that the volunteers receive $7.00 per hour for each
hour worked while responding to fire calls or attending the
training sessions. A payment of this type by the City to these
individuals will affect their status as volunteer firefighters.
Generally, payments of nominal amounts, which reasonably
approximate any expenses incurred by the volunteers, are
acceptable as a means of reimbursing individuals who perform
firefighting duty on a voluntary basis. An hourly rate paid for
actual hours worked would, in this instance, establish an
employer-employee relationship because of section 3(e) (4) (a) (i)
of FLSA. Therefore, nonexempt employees working full-time for
the City would be due overtime compensation for all hours worked
over 40 in a workweek.
Where an employee in a single workweek works at two or more
different types of work for which different non-overtime rates of
pay (of not less than the applicable minimum wage) have been
established, the regular rate for that week is the weighted
average of such rates as described in Interpretative Bulletin
778.l15, 29 CFR Part 778 (copy enclosed). The total. earnings,
(except statutory exclusions) are computed to include the total
compensation during the workweek from ~ll such rates, and are
then div~ded by the total number of hours worked at all jobs.
Certain statutory exceptions permitting alternative methods of
computing overtime pay in such cases are discussed in 778.400 and
778.4lS through 778.421.
We trust that the. above, information is responsive to your
inquiry.
