Chaffee council approves extra week of vacation for employees with 20+ years' service
Summary
The Chaffee City Council on Sept. 3 approved adding one week of vacation for city employees with 20 or more years of service, extending accrual beyond the prior 15‑year cap. The change affects three currently eligible employees and was approved unanimously and will be implemented following council action.
The Chaffee City Council voted Sept. 3 to grant an additional week of vacation to city employees who have completed 20 years of service, extending the prior accrual cap of 15 years. City Administrator Lee Horton proposed the change as a retention and recognition measure for long‑term employees.
Mark Perkins moved to approve the policy amendment and Steve Milz seconded; the motion carried with the council voting in favor. Council members identified three employees who currently meet the threshold—Sherry Dirnberger, Shannon Hendrix and Lee Horton—who would become eligible under the amended accrual schedule.
Council members framed the measure as a personnel retention step and thanked the long‑serving employees for their service. The transcript records discussion but does not specify an effective date beyond approval at the Sept. 3 meeting. The council indicated any remaining administrative details will be handled by city staff and discussed at the next meeting if needed.
The council adjourned other business after taking the vote; follow‑up on implementation was not specified in the meeting record.
