Continue Discussions Regarding Proposed Updates to the Personnel Policy

For the purpose of tonight's meeting, staff will review sections three through six of the City's Personnel Policy.  Staff will focus the discussion on changes where City Council feedback or direction is desired. However, the majority of the policy is open for discussion.  Section 6 of the policy does include regulations required by statute, and therefore cannot be eliminated.  These section include Family and Medical Leave, Bone Marrow Donation, Military Leave, Pregnancy and parenting Leave, School Conference and Activities Leave, and Jury of Witness Duty.

Sections one, two and twelve were discussed previously. Sections seven through eleven will be discussed at a future work session meeting.  Prior to this policy being brought forward for adoption, the City Attorney will review the entire policy in order to ensure the content is consistent with federal and state law.  Proposed changes are attached to this case.

Approximately  75 minutes.

Not Applicable.
