Council reviews updated policy books and redlined employee manual; staff seeks comments
Summary
Staff presented updated city policy books and an employee manual reviewed by the city’s lawyer, asked council members to return comments within two weeks and said some changes must be submitted to the state to secure insurance/trust discounts.
City staff presented an updated set of policy books and an employee manual the city's lawyer had reviewed, describing the package as a redlined version that will cascade changes through related policies. "The employee manual was already reviewed by a lawyer," the staff member said, and asked council members to review policies affecting their areas and return any suggested edits within two weeks.
Staff said some policies must be submitted to the state and that making the changes could qualify the city for insurance and trust discounts; the presentation emphasized areas that might affect specific council members and noted which policies were new, revised or unchanged. Staff said the goal is to have the policies finalized by next May and that the employee manual will be provided as a separate file because it wasn’t updated in the combined "mega" file.
Council members asked for electronic copies and the presenter agreed to send them. No council vote was taken; the item was presented for review and comment.
