Council adopts ordinance amending finance director vacation schedule; extra week effective if director remains through 2035
Summary
The council adopted an ordinance amending vacation leave for the finance director, reflecting terms negotiated at hiring that would give the director one additional week of vacation in 2035 if still employed.
Pepper Pike City Council adopted an ordinance on July 8 amending the vacation leave schedule for the city's finance director to reflect terms discussed during the director's hiring.
Council members said the change memorializes an agreement made at the time of hiring and noted the amendment is a first reading item that the council moved to adopt that evening. Council discussed language clarifying that any prior ordinances in conflict with the new ordinance are repealed "to the extent of the conflict." A council member pointed out a drafting detail and the council agreed to amend the sentence accordingly before finalization.
Council members noted that, under the ordinance as discussed, the finance director would accrue one additional week of vacation by 2035 if he remains employed in the position. The council and staff said that term came from negotiations at hiring. The finance director addressed the council, thanking members and pledging continued transparency in financial reporting.
A motion to suspend rules and adopt the ordinance carried on a roll-call vote with members present voting yes. Council directed staff and counsel to make the drafting change to section language about repeal "to the extent of the conflict" before publishing the final ordinance.
