Council approves consent items including personnel policy changes; authorizes negotiation for South Ewell right‑of‑way acquisition
Summary
City Council approved two consent items including a personnel policy ordinance that grants police three personal days tied to the 9/11 memorial provision, and later unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to negotiate property acquisition for the South Ewell Road right‑of‑way expansion.
The City Council approved two consent agenda items and later approved a resolution authorizing staff to negotiate property acquisition for a right‑of‑way expansion.
On the consent agenda, council approved Ordinance O‑08‑25, described as the city’s employee personnel policy. During discussion Mayor Pro Tem asked whether police officers had been included in the 9/11 memorial personal‑day provision that had previously applied to firefighters; staff and council clarified police and civilian employees receive two personal days and that police would receive an additional day under the revised policy, giving police three personal days under the policy as adopted. Council also confirmed a city credit‑card policy is handled separately and not included within the employee personnel policy document.
The consent vote to approve both consent items passed on a voice vote recorded as 6‑0 in favor.
Later in the evening, following an executive session on several real‑estate items, council considered and approved Resolution R‑19‑25 authorizing the city manager to negotiate acquisition of property for the South Ewell Road right‑of‑way expansion project and authorizing the mayor to execute required documents. The resolution passed 6‑0.
No additional details about purchase prices or individual parcels were discussed in open session; staff indicated negotiations would proceed under the direction authorized by the resolution.
