Livingston council adopts personnel policy changes, adds Juneteenth holiday
Summary
The council approved multiple amendments to the city personnel policy — covering emergency compensation for exempt employees, overtime rules, weather‑emergency pay, TMRS retirement update, and adding Juneteenth as an observed holiday — effective immediately.
City Manager Ellie Monteaux presented proposed amendments to the City of Livingston Personnel Policy that had been reviewed by city staff, including Human Resources Coordinator Stacy Edwards and Finance Director Linnette Barker. The changes covered several sections: Section 5.08 (Exempt Employees — Special Pay During Declared Emergency), Section 5.11 (Overtime Shifts Within Pay Cycle), Section 5.15 (Weather Emergencies and Disaster Declarations — Compensation During an Emergency), Section 6.01 (Retirement Plan — TMRS update), Section 6.05 (Medical and Life Insurance — life insurance determined annually), Section 7.03 (Vacation Leave accrual rates and maximum carryover accumulation), and Section 7.14 (Holiday Leave — addition of Juneteenth).
Alderman Alan Cook moved to approve the proposed changes with minor verbiage edits to Sections 5.08 and 5.15; Alderman Andy Evans seconded the motion. The council voted unanimously to adopt the amendments, which the minutes record as effective immediately.
Council discussion noted the specific sections by number and confirmed that staff and department heads reviewed the proposed language. The approved changes include an explicit listing of Juneteenth as an observed holiday. The minutes do not provide the full amended text; the motion and vote adopt the edited policy language as presented to council.
