Statham council discusses PTO accrual change for department heads; residents raise concerns
Summary
City Attorney Jody Campbell presented a proposed resolution to amend PTO accrual for department heads; several residents spoke during citizen input urging review of the personnel policy vote and expressing concerns about taxes and city spending. No final vote on the resolution was recorded in the public meeting.
City Attorney Jody Campbell spoke to the council about a proposed resolution amending the employee handbook to change how paid time off accrues for department heads. The item was presented for council consideration during the Jan. 6 work session; the public record in the minutes does not show a final council vote on that resolution at this meeting.
During the citizen‑input period, resident Joe Piper criticized city taxes and spending and referenced the personnel policy vote held Dec. 16, 2025. Resident Rudy Krause also addressed the council about the personnel policy vote. Resident Denny Adams raised separate concerns about the city newsletter, a water bill issue, and police department matters. Mayor Debi Krause had earlier referenced the Dec. 16 personnel policy vote when summarizing the mayor’s report.
Councilmembers received the presentation and public comment; the minutes do not document further action on the PTO accrual resolution in the Jan. 6 public session.
