Council reviews revised personnel policy manual and asks staff to draft legislation
Summary
City staff presented a revised personnel policy manual to align with state and federal law, add a lactation policy, replace references to "human resources director" with "HR administrator," and improve readability; council authorized staff to prepare legislation for the next meeting.
City staff presented a substantially revised personnel policy manual and asked the Moraine City Council's Committee of the Whole to authorize legislation for formal consideration.
"So we're excited to share with you the updated personnel policy manual," Bridal, the HR administrator, said, summarizing changes made for legal and regulatory compliance, improved readability and consistency across documents. The updates cited by staff included additions tied to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Ohio ethics laws, fraud reporting, records commission guidance, a lactation policy, and multiple Ohio Revised Code items.
Staff said the manual replaces references to an "HR director" with "HR administrator" where appropriate and consolidated duplicated or scattered provisions to make the document easier for employees and union signatories to use. The city's consultant (Jermaine Solutions) assisted in drafting the revisions and staff credited internal reviewers for final formatting.
Council members said they had not all seen the prior version and requested time to review; staff noted that moving the document forward with legislation would still allow approximately a month for further review prior to final action. A motion passed directing staff to prepare the necessary legislation for the next council meeting.
Next steps: staff will prepare ordinance language, circulate materials to council for review, and return with proposed legislation at the next meeting.
