Board adopts resolution 25-03 replacing 2002 light-duty policy with modified-duty policy
Summary
The park board voted to adopt Resolution 25-03, repealing a 2002 temporary light-duty policy and replacing it with a modified-duty policy consistent with other city commissions.
The Greenwood Park Board on June 3 adopted Resolution 25-03, which repeals Resolution 02-02 (the city’s 2002 temporary light-duty policy) and replaces it with a citywide temporary modified-duty policy for department employees.
Why it matters: Staff told the board the 2002 policy had not been consistently administered; the updated policy is intended to align parks and recreation practice with other city departments and commissions that oversee employees.
What happened at the meeting: A staff member summarized differences between the old policy and the new one, noting that the 2002 policy included provisions that were never followed in practice — for example, requiring workers’ compensation providers for certain medical care and permitting pay reductions for employees performing fewer duties. The board discussed the need for consistency and then voted to adopt Resolution 25-03.
Board action: A board member moved to adopt Resolution 25-03, "repealing resolution number 02-02 ... and adopting a replacement temporary modified duty policy for department employees." The motion was seconded, and board members voted in favor. The motion passed.
Next steps: The new policy will be implemented by city HR and applied consistently across commissions that have jurisdiction over employees; staff did not record any additional amendments at the meeting.
