City amends code on city administrator status; amendment to move grievance rules to personnel regulations fails
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 16‑90 on second reading, which amends municipal code concerning the city administrator's employment and grievance procedures. An amendment to move disciplinary and grievance procedures into personnel regulations failed; the ordinance then passed 5–1.
The board took final action on Ordinance 16‑90, which amends Title 1, Chapter 3 of the Tullahoma Municipal Code regarding the city administrator's employment status, personnel regulations and grievance procedures. Alderman Glick moved to make the city administrator a regular employee while removing detailed grievance and disciplinary language from the ordinance and placing those procedures in the personnel regulations; that motion failed for lack of a majority after debate.
City staff and the city attorney explained that the municipal code specifically governs the city administrator and that certain disciplinary provisions are appropriately codified. After discussion, the ordinance passed on second and final reading with a recorded vote of 5 yes, 1 no. Council directed staff to continue coordinating with MTAS and to present any consequential personnel regulation updates in future study sessions.
