Committee delays vote on transfer of accrued leave to Officer Jason M.
Summary
The committee discussed an ordinance to transfer 1,375 hours of sick leave and 13 days of vacation to Officer Jason M., raising questions about whether those hours were already compensated when the officer left prior employment; members tabled the item pending review by the law director.
The finance and legislation committee considered an ordinance approving transfer of 1,375 hours of sick leave and 13 days of vacation to Officer Jason M., credited to him from prior employment as an officer with the city police department. Committee members asked whether the hours had been paid out when the employee left the prior employer and whether those accruals properly carry over.
One committee member asked, “Did he get… that when he quit though?” and several members said they were unsure whether the hours had been compensated or carried over from his prior post. The committee agreed to consult the law director for clarification and deferred further action. A member suggested discussing the question in caucus and returning next week with more information.
The transcript does not include documentation of a final vote or legal findings; the committee paused the item to verify whether granting the leave transfer would duplicate a prior payout or otherwise be inappropriate under city or personnel rules.
Next steps: committee members will seek explanation from the law director and administration and may revisit the ordinance at a future meeting.
