Clinton council updates personnel policy to reflect new state background-check requirement for volunteers
Summary
Council approved updates to the personnel policy to reflect changes in state law requiring background checks for volunteers working with children; the amendments are largely language updates with the statutory change driving the revision.
Clinton — The City Council approved revisions to its personnel policy to reflect a change in state law requiring background checks for volunteers who work with children.
Staff told the council most edits were language updates to align with other municipalities and that the primary reason for the amendment was a change in state statutes (recorded in the meeting as compliance with "general statute 160 a"). The presenter said the change affects applicants for volunteer roles around children and volunteer coaches and that the language is on the second page of the proposed update.
Council asked for a motion to approve the updates; a motion and second were recorded and the council voice vote was 'aye.' No detailed roll-call vote or mover/second names were recorded in the meeting record.
The revisions will require volunteer applicants who work with children to undergo the background checks referenced by staff; the council did not alter the proposed language during the meeting and directed staff to implement the policy update.
