Council removes outdated maternity sections from handbook, tasks mayor with drafting leave details
Summary
Council voted to remove Sections 5.7 and 5.7.1 from the employee handbook to be reworked; Mayor Rose was authorized to draft maternity-leave details and return them to council before the handbook is finalized.
Pamela Rowland, speaking on Employee Handbook revisions, told the council a committee is reviewing the handbook one department at a time and that the maternity section was vague and outdated; she noted a city employee is expecting. Council Member Rowland moved to remove Sections 5.7 and 5.7.1 from the handbook and resubmit them in the updated handbook; the motion passed unanimously, 8-0.
Council Member Martin subsequently moved to authorize Mayor Steven R. Rose to develop detailed maternity-leave language and bring it to council for approval before the handbook is finalized; that motion also passed 8-0. The minutes record the committee review process but do not include the new language, which the mayor is expected to draft and present.
