Two Memos dated 12/19/90 & 2/4/91
This item is a request to grant a medical leave of absence to Dan McMenomy.
The bylaws of the Rosemount Fire Department allow the members, with the
approval of the City Administrator, to grant up to 60 days of medical leave
per calendar year. This was granted for the months of January and February
of 1991 (see attachment dated 12/19/90).
Dan McMenomy was unable to return to unrestricted duty as of
February 28, 1991 and thus needs an extension of medical leave (see
attachment dated 2/4/91 for details). Any time beyond 60 days per calendar
year requires council approval in addition to the approval of the
membership and the City Administrator. The membership at its regular
meeting on February 26th approved such an extension of leave and the leave
has also been approved by Steve Jilk, City Administrator.
This leave would be in effect for 90 days from March 1, 1991 to
June 1, 1991 at which time the status will be reviewed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion by city council to approve a medical leave of absence for 90 days
for Dan McMenomy, in effect from March 1, 1991 to June 1, 1991.
COUNCIL ACTION:
Approved.

T0: Dal McMenomy, Fire Fighter
FROM: Cott Aker, Fire Chief
DATE: December 19, 1990
RE: Light Duty Termination/Medical Leave
On Dr:ember 31, 1990 your period of light duty will terminate.
As that date you will have no additional light duty time
avaiable to you for your current injury. At the end of light
dui' a fire fighter does have several options available to them.
TJ of which are to go on a medical leave of absence or return to
.irestricted duty. In order to return to unrestricted duty, it
could require a letter from your doctor saying that you are now
able to perform all the duties of a fire fighter as outlined in
NFP 1001 and this would also need to be reviewed by the city
doctor. In order to begin your first 60 days of medical leave,
it would be necessary to gain approval of the city administrator
and the department membership.
I would refer you to Article 8, Section 2 of the fire department
bylaws which indicate medical leaves of absence may be granted
only with a doctor's slip. These leaves of absence may be
granted for up to sixty days by the membership, subject to the
approval of the city administrator. Medical leaves of absence
for sixty days or less per calendar year, does not affect the
member's time -of -service. A medical leave of absence beyond
sixty days requires membership, city administrator, and city
council approval. A medical leave of absence, any time beyond
the sixty days per calendar year, will not count towards time -
of -service.
You would be eligible to begin that first sixty days of medical
leave on January 1, 1991 which could continue through
February 28, 1991.
The Rosemount Fire Department and city administrator have
reviewed your status and need for medical leave from
January 1, 1991 until February 28, 1991 and have ruled as is
indicated below.
