Council advances changes to employee leave accruals on first reading
Summary
On first reading the council approved Ordinance 2025-05 to change how full-time employees accrue leave, end vacation payouts after 2025, allow borrowing up to 40 hours, and permit leave donation; one editorial clarification in Article 157.30 was flagged for revision before second reading.
The council held the first reading and voted unanimously to accept Ordinance 2025-05, which changes the town's personnel rules on vacation and paid leave. The ordinance moves full-time employees to accruing leave rather than receiving all leave upfront, ends payouts for unused vacation after 2025, allows employees to borrow up to 40 hours of vacation, and creates a leave donation option under specified conditions. Councilor Charlene Louk noted that Article 157.30, paragraph #3 on page three requires clearer wording before second reading; the council did not change the content but requested an editorial fix.
Charlene Louk moved to accept Ordinance 2025-05 on its first reading, Councilor Karen Phillips seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The ordinance passed first reading with the provision that the identified language in Article 157.30 be reviewed and clarified prior to the second reading.
