Council adds police vacation policy to agenda after officers report shorted hours
Summary
The council amended the agenda to add a Police Department vacation policy item after Mayor Odom said officers Timmons and Norris reported being shorted vacation hours; Odom said officers hired for 48-hour weeks "should be 48 hours" for vacation calculation.
At the Dec. 15 special meeting the Town of McBee Council unanimously approved an amendment to the agenda to add a Police Department vacation policy item. Mayor Glenn Odom moved to add the item; Councilman James Linton seconded and the motion passed.
Mayor Odom said he had spoken to Timmons and Norris, who "shared that when they take vacation, they’re being shorted hours because of policy due to their schedules." Odom added, "since we hired them to work 48 hours a week, their vacation should be 48 hours." The minutes record this as a discussion point but do not show a formal policy change on the public record that day.
Following the discussion the council voted to enter executive session. The minutes do not include further public details about any personnel or policy outcomes from that closed session, and no written policy text appears in the minutes.
