Council tables proposed comp‑time changes after members say packet arrived too late
Summary
Council debated revisions to the compensatory‑time policy (Resolution 2026‑003), including whether exempt employees should earn comp time and law‑enforcement exceptions; members voted 4‑1 to table the resolution so staff and legal can revise and circulate the language.
Councilors discussed proposed changes to the city's compensatory‑time policy during consideration of Resolution 2026‑003, focusing on whether exempt employees should earn comp time, accrual rates for exempt and nonexempt staff, law‑enforcement exemptions and emergency pay in disaster situations. Members also raised concerns about staff receiving pay for attending council meetings if not on the agenda.
Because councilors said they had not received or read the revision packet in time to deliberate amendments, a motion to table the item until staff could revise the language and the attorney could review it passed 4‑1; the mayor registered the lone opposing vote. A councilor summarized the intended change: "They will no longer earn it, which is what y'all requested." Staff will return a revised draft at a subsequent meeting.
