Council adopts parking-and-backing safety policy for city staff operations (Policy 2026-2)
Summary
The council adopted Policy 2026-2 to standardize parking and backing safety practices for city operations, removing a mandatory cone requirement and changing Circle of Safety wording from 'must' to 'should.' The policy passed 5-0.
Pleasant View adopted Policy 2026-2, a parking and backing safety policy adapted from the city insurer’s template to reduce vehicle-operations risk. Tyson Jackson and Stetson Talbot reviewed the policy and staff proposed removing a strict requirement to place cones; the cone placement was kept as a recommendation rather than a mandatory action.
City Attorney Matt Wilson recommended one wording change, asking the council to change the Circle of Safety phrasing from “must” to “should” to provide operational flexibility. CM David Marriott moved to adopt the policy and CM Ann Arrington seconded; the policy passed by roll-call vote 5-0.
