Council approves temporary comp‑time memorandum for recovering employee
Summary
Council approved a memorandum allowing an employee recovering from surgery to earn extra comp time by picking up shifts; staff will draft a consistent policy for future donation/time requests.
The Hoyt Lakes City Council approved a memorandum permitting a city employee identified in the packet as Becky to earn extra compensatory time by picking up additional shifts while she recovers from surgery.
City staff explained Becky is entering her second surgery year and lacks sufficient accumulated leave; the memorandum in the packet allows the employee to earn extra comp time and staff recommended approving the memorandum now and drafting a standard policy to govern donations or similar arrangements in the future. Mitch reviewed the memorandum prior to the meeting, and staff said if the memorandum is acceptable they will finalize signatories and forward it to the employee.
Council voted to approve the memorandum; staff noted the city has used donated time in the past but recommended a consistent written policy going forward to avoid ad hoc arrangements.
The council did not set a standing donation program but supported a one-time memorandum with staff instructed to return with a draft policy for future occurrences.
