Board approves personnel policy updates and retirement plan amendment
Summary
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen passed Resolution 22-25 to revise sections of the city personnel policy (including holiday benefits, educational bonus and paid parental leave) and Resolution 23-25 to adopt Amendment No. 3 to the City of Bartlett retirement plan, with an effective date provided for the retirement change.
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday approved two personnel actions: updated personnel policies (Resolution 22-25) and an amendment to the city retirement plan (Resolution 23-25).
Laurie Van Boeklamine, chief human resources officer, presented the personnel updates, which the board described as enhanced benefits related to holidays, an educational bonus and paid parental leave. "Presenting this resolution for updates to the personnel policy related to enhanced benefits associated with holidays, educational bonus, paid parental leave and educational bonus," Van Boeklamine said.
Van Boeklamine also presented Resolution 23-25 to adopt Amendment No. 3 to the City of Bartlett retirement plan. According to her remarks, the amendment will introduce a "7 7 5 plan for retiree our new employees effective July first of 20 25." The board moved and seconded both resolutions and passed them during the meeting.
Why it matters: Changes to personnel policies and the retirement plan affect current and future city employees' leave and retirement options. Van Boeklamine indicated the retirement change would take effect July 1, 2025.
Process and outcome: Both resolutions were presented, moved, seconded and recorded as passing in the meeting minutes. No additional amendments were recorded on the floor during the meeting.
What remains unclear: The transcript records the retirement change phrase as a "7 7 5 plan," which may reflect a transcription error or shorthand; the city did not provide further technical details at the meeting. Staff indicated the effective date for retirement plan changes as July 1, 2025.
