Council adopts Juneteenth observance update and a three‑tier cell‑phone reimbursement policy
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2025‑013 clarifying Juneteenth observance timing to follow state guidance and instituted a three‑tier cell‑phone reimbursement policy ($20/$45/$70 per month) with criteria, forms, and GRAMA/monitoring language.
Pleasant Grove City adopted amendments to its Personnel Policies and Procedures (Resolution 2025‑013) to align the municipal holiday observance of Juneteenth with recent state guidance and to formalize compensation for employees who use personal cell phones for city business.
Attorney Tina Petersen explained the Juneteenth change: the city will follow the state's approach, observing Juneteenth on the Monday before or after June 19, or on the 19th itself when it falls on a Monday. The council also adopted a new Cell Phone Reimbursement Policy with three reimbursement tiers: Level 1 ($20/month) for occasional public interaction outside the office; Level 2 ($45/month) for extensive or after‑hours interaction; and Level 3 ($70/month) for the City Administrator, directors and executive staff. The policy includes an acknowledgement form, clarifies the city's non‑liability for personal devices, and reminds employees that devices used for city business may be subject to GRAMA requests and monitoring for compliance. HR will implement the policy and department heads will designate eligible employees.
