They were placed on leave last summer during an investigation into the work environment at the department.

The settlements say that “no allegations have been sustained regarding the Investigation” and that the city “takes no position on the merits” of the probe.

Miller will receive $408,000 under the settlement, plus payment for unused vacation and sick time.

Reiman will get $250,000 and compensation for unused vacation and sick time.

The city will pay Bauermeister $150,000, plus money for unused paid time off.

The council will consider the settlements at its Monday meeting.
