Council adopts updated personnel handbook with clarified tattoo policy
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2025-19 updating the employee handbook, including expanded definitions and clarifications around tattoos (spiritual, tribal, gang) after staff confirmed legal review; the change passed after no public comment.
Council adopted Resolution 2025-19 to update the city's personnel policy and employee handbook, with staff reporting the final changes were reviewed by legal counsel.
A staff member who worked on the update said she expanded the tattoos section and added definitions for spiritual, tribal and gang tattoos so the policy clearly states what must be covered and what may be exposed. "I went ahead and expanded on the section of tattoos, added the definitions as we have discussed," she said, noting legal counsel gave a green light.
Council member Lucchese moved to adopt the resolution and a second was offered; the council voted in favor and the resolution passed. No public comments were received on the item during the meeting.
