Summary

The council approved a revised City of Altoona Employee Handbook to reflect the completion of Fire Union negotiations and the absence of a current Police Union contract; Human Resources Director Patti Murray presented the update.

The Altoona City Council approved updates to the City of Altoona Employee Handbook at its June 16 meeting.

Patti Murray, human resources director, said the handbook was last revised in 2021 and required updates because of recently completed Fire Union negotiations and because the city no longer has an active Police Union contract. "With the completion of the Fire Union Negotiations this year and no longer having a Police Union Contract, we needed to do a detailed update," Murray said.

The council approved the handbook updates by roll call vote (recorded 4-0). The transcript does not include the handbook text or an itemized list of changes; staff retained responsibility for implementing the updated policies and communicating them to employees.
