Council holds over employee handbook revision after questions about sick‑leave language
Summary
Council postponed action on the updated employee handbook (item 16e) to the August 4 meeting after members requested HR and legal clarify redlined changes, including a revision that narrows sick‑leave caregiving language to 'minor child.'
Council discussed a redlined revision to the city’s employee handbook at item 16e and raised several questions about the substantive changes, including sick‑leave language revised to specify "minor child/step child" in caregiving provisions. City staff said most edits were language clean‑ups and that no changes were required by law.
Councilman Burns asked which changes were required by law and requested HR attend the next meeting to answer questions; Amy (staff) said she would consult the HR director. Burns moved to hold the item over to the Aug. 4 council meeting so HR (Ashley) can be present to clarify certain provisions. The motion to hold the handbook revision passed unanimously.
