Hays council tables TMRS COLA decision for more cost data; adopts updated part-time drug-free policy
Summary
Council heard staff advice on opting into TMRS cost-of-living adjustments (30/50/75% of CPI) and deferred a decision pending cost estimates; council also voted to adopt a revised part-time employee policy establishing a drug-free workplace for liability and insurance alignment.
Staff briefed the council on the option to opt into cost-of-living adjustments under TMRS; the record shows staff explained the options to cover 30%, 50% or 75% of the consumer price index and recommended 75% as a common approach among peer cities. Staff and council agreed to ask TMRS for retroactive cost estimates and to revisit the matter in March.
Separately, the council reviewed an update to the part-time employee policy recommended by the city attorney to establish a drug-free workplace for liability and insurance alignment. A councilmember moved to accept the revised policy, the motion was seconded, and council voted in favor by voice vote during the meeting.
