Council adopts gender‑based violence workplace policy and standard workday resolution
Summary
Council adopted a New York State model gender‑based violence and workplace prevention policy to align city practice with state guidance and qualify for certain grants, and approved a standard workday resolution for elected officials who opt into reporting.
The council unanimously adopted a gender‑based violence and workplace prevention policy patterned on New York State guidance and described by staff as a consolidation of existing sexual‑harassment and workplace‑violence policies. HR staff said the policy largely consolidates existing practices, will be added to annual trainings and helps the city meet grant eligibility requirements.
Council also adopted a standard workday resolution that establishes reporting parameters for council members who choose to participate in pension reporting. Council members confirmed the city’s annual training schedule and asked staff to ensure newly elected or newly onboarded officials are included when trainings occur. Both measures passed by roll call with affirmative votes from council members present.
