Orangeville council adopts PTO accrual schedule, approves routine minutes and small purchases
Summary
At its July 10 meeting, the Orangeville City Council adopted Resolution 2025-8a to move to a PTO-based accrual schedule for city employees and approved several routine items including meeting minutes, reimbursements, countertops for the community center, and new park cameras.
The Orangeville City Council on July 10 approved a change to the city’s personnel policy that replaces hourly sick/leave accrual with a paid-time-off (PTO) schedule and approved a set of routine agenda items and small capital purchases.
Amanda, a city staff member, presented Resolution 2025-8a, which sets PTO accrual rates for permanent full-time employees at 0–1 years: 12 days (3.7 hours biweekly); 2–9 years: 15 days (4.6 hours biweekly); and 10+ years: 18 days (5.5 hours biweekly). Amanda said the resolution also sets part-time accrual schedules, rollover limits (120 hours for full time, 60 hours for part time), documentation rules for extended sick leave, and that administrative regulations will specify detailed accrual and usage procedures. The council moved to adopt the resolution and approved it by voice vote.
Council also approved Resolution 2025-9 to insert an already-practiced in-lieu-of-insurance payment into the personnel manual; Linda (city staff) told the council the payment had been approved previously but was never added to the written manual, and the council voted to formalize that change.
On routine financial business the council approved bills and warrants, and confirmed minutes from the enterprise hearing and public hearing held June 10 and from rescheduled regular minutes on the same date. The council ratified a set of small reimbursements and purchases: Max Cropper ($203.92) and Abby Mack ($20.03) for utilities and fuel, a $20.36 reimbursement to Tracy Adelaide for a cemetery pump clamp, $55.71 for pickleball prizes for the Orangeville Days tournament, and a $40 payment to Corey Larson. The council also ratified the purchase of a single-piece countertop for the community center estimated at $6,500, and approved cameras and related equipment for the city park at $605 to address repeated vandalism.
The council granted permission for a community "free library" proposed by the Dudley family to be installed at the trail entrance by the creek. The family said they were not asking for funding but for permission to place a roughly 3½-foot-tall, three-shelf little library and a small pet shelf near the trail entrance; council approved the request.
The meeting closed after returning from a brief closed session and taking a motion to adjourn.
The most immediate next steps are administrative: implementing the PTO accrual rules in the personnel manual and placing the library installation and countertop procurement into the city’s facilities schedule.
