City Council Regular Meeting
Meeting Date: 02/02/2021  

BACKGROUND
The Employee Handbook was originally approved by Council in 2008, with major updates in 2011, 2013 and 2015. Since 2015, individual policies have been updated or new policies have been created and appended to the main document. In 2020, staff conducted a comprehensive review of the Handbook and all subsequently approved policies. This review included feedback from Management and all Department Heads. 

With regard to employee policies, the City Charter reads:

Section 6.02 Operational and Personnel Policies.
The City Manager shall be responsible for the preparation of operational and personnel policies. Personnel policies which affect the budget and employee discipline and/or adverse actions shall be approved by City Council. The City Council may accept and adopt such policies as proposed or may adopt them with such amendments as the City Council deems necessary or may reject them in their entirety and direct the City Manager to further consider the policies and present new proposals at a subsequent meeting. Operational and administrative policies shall be approved by the City Manager but shall be provided to City Council for their information.

Accordingly, staff is seeking Council approval on the following policies:

Section 4.1.4 – Overtime Pay
*This policy was approved by Council in 2008. No changes. 
Section 4.1.7 – Education Pay
*This policy was approved by Council December 2020. No changes.

*This policy was approved by Council in December 2020. Added provision for observing Christmas Eve.
Section 5.6 – Progressive Discipline & Disciplinary Appeals Process

All other policies are included for your information.
