Background
Council may recall staff’s recent work to shift human resources/personnel language from City Code for incorporation into a comprehensive policies and procedures manual. Reasons for this shift include the need for a centralized location for employee-related references and ease for amendments should the need arise. Currently city policies exist in three locations: ordinance, administrative policies and the employee handbook. Following the best practice of centralizing the location to one document, staff has been diligently working to incorporate and update all policies into one document. The proposed ordinance would remove the personnel ordinances from city code and move them to the city policies and procedures manual.
Strategic Plan Relationship
This item relates to the organizational health strategic priority by being able to provide best practices that result in a well-trained, highly engaged workforce.
