Council adds grievance procedure for council‑appointed positions to personnel policy
Summary
Rawlins adopted a resolution adding section 6.18 to the personnel policy to provide a grievance process for council‑appointed positions (city manager, city attorney, municipal judge); council approved the resolution unanimously.
The Rawlins City Council voted unanimously Aug. 19 to amend the city personnel policy manual by adding section 6.18, which establishes grievance and complaint procedures applicable to council‑appointed positions including the city manager, city attorney and municipal judge.
City Attorney Mayberry explained the amendment inserts the new section into Chapter 6 so the manual remains a single referenced document. Mayberry said the change fills a gap because Chapter 6 previously governed grievances for employees under the city manager’s authority but did not provide a process for council‑appointed staff. The draft was prepared with mayoral and council input to consolidate a clear procedure for those positions.
The resolution was adopted after a presentation and review of highlighted changes; council voted 7‑0 to approve.
Ending: The personnel manual will be updated to include section 6.18 and the amended manual will serve as the single reference for grievance procedures for all applicable employees.
