City manager summarizes Earned Sick Time Act implications, notes support request for senator's appropriation

During the March 3 meeting the city manager highlighted two items in the manager's report: a staff summary of the Earned Sick Time Act and a late addition to the agenda supporting an appropriation request from Senator Anthony.

The city manager said staff had spent considerable time assessing how the Earned Sick Time Act affects Mason and provided a written summary in the packet; the manager offered to answer questions from council members. Separately, staff said the city participated in a webinar on Thursday with a short turnaround to gather information and prepare materials for a resolution supporting Senator Anthony's appropriation request. The manager said the city submitted that request and believed council support would be beneficial.

The transcript does not record a formal motion or vote on the appropriation-support resolution within the excerpt provided. The manager invited questions; none were raised on the record immediately following that portion of the report and the meeting proceeded to adjournment.
