Council adopts personnel‑manual amendments on firearms and restroom policy (Resolution O 9‑25)
Summary
The council approved Resolution O 9‑25 to amend the employee manual to address employees carrying firearms at work and to update restroom policies; the changes were presented as required updates following legal guidance.
The City Council approved Resolution O 9‑25, which amends the employee manual to reflect recent legal updates related to employees carrying firearms at work and to clarify restroom access rules.
Staff said the changes were recommended by the city attorney and the update contains two principal modifications: the city cannot ban employees from carrying firearms while at work, and staff must follow clarified restroom-access rules so employees do not direct individuals to use restrooms inconsistent with the updated policy. Staff noted limited exemptions such as for children under 10 accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The council voted on the resolution without extended discussion and the motion carried. The amendment was presented as a compliance and policy‑clarity update; staff identified the city attorney as the source of the recommended changes and noted that the attorney is also the municipal personnel attorney for the state association.
