Personnel Policy Updates (Information Only)
Human Resource Director Olson noted that at the last Operations Committee meeting he had asked to come
back and update the Committee on policies implemented or revised. Olson stated that he had four policies
which he distributed. They included:
1. Travel and Business Expenses- Olson noted that this policy was updated and was a corroboration
between Human Resources and Tom Vetsch of Central Services which is modeled after the Bellevue
Plan to bring the policy into the 20th century.
2. Non-represented Layoff Policy- This policy was recently updated in the evebt that layoffs become
necessary. The policy would cover employees not under Civil Service or collective bargaining
agreements as well as the Teamsters Union which does not halve a layoff clause in their contract.
Employees that are under Civil Service or a union contract that covers layoffs will follow the Civil
Service Rules or their contract terms respectively.

3. Employee Personnel Files - This is a new policy which outlines retention, purging and access to
employees personnel files.
4. Leave of Absence - This policy was revised to include provisions for voluntary leave without pay.
It allows for employees who wish to take a months vacation without pay or a sabbatical to save
City funds to do so with continued payment of their health and welfare. Previously if an employee
worked for less than half of a month these benefits would not be paid by the City.
Olson noted that the updated policies have been incorporated into the manual in the Council Office for
their reference. During further discussion he asked for Committeemembers to contact him if they had any
questions on the policies.
After asking if there was any further business to be discussed, Chairperson Houser adjourned the meeting
at 4:30 p.m.
