Summary

The council adopted an ordinance amending the personnel policy manual to add a new section providing employee discounts for city recreation fields and facility rentals; the change was presented by the personnel committee and adopted by roll call Sept. 18.

Councilmember Mr. Gray, reporting for the personnel committee, introduced an ordinance to amend the personnel policy manual by adding a section that creates an employee discount rate for city recreation fields and rentals.

Mr. Gray moved to suspend the rules and read the ordinance by title; after the reading the council voted to adopt. When the ordinance passed Mr. Gray said the change would be “a nice benefit for our city employees.” The motion to adopt was put to a roll call and recorded as affirmative by the members present.

What this does: The ordinance amends the personnel-policy manual (the meeting record describes the change as adding a new “section 18” to the manual under general employee benefits) to provide reduced rates for city employees when reserving or using recreation facilities and rentals. The ordinance text was presented to council and adopted during the personnel committee report.

What’s next: The personnel policy manual will be updated to reflect Section 18 and city staff will apply the discount rules in facility reservation systems and billing.
