TO: ASSISTANT TO THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR/PERSONNEL
DIRECTOR DUFFY
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR HEDGES
DATE: DECEMBER 9, 1992
SUBJECT: PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING
The Personnel Committee, at a meeting held on December 8, requested additional
research on the following items:
1) Review policies from various communities that have abolished vacation and
sick leave in the traditional form and research other trends that are occurring
in other local governments regarding the accrual of these benefits. Also
request if there are provisions for a buyout in transition for the banking of
those benefits that have accrued to date. It would seem appropriate to first
review local units of government and then check policies in the private sector.
Unfortunately, the private sector operates with a different type of
compensation program with bonuses, etc. and it might be hard to equate
compensation packages for both salary and benefits. The LMC might be
helpful.
2) The Personnel Committee is also suggesting incorporation of a draft ethics
policy for the City Council. Please research other communities and the
League of Minnesota Cities and gather ethics policies that include City
Councilmembers for eventual review by our City Council. It would be
appropriate to include a copy of the administrative policy on ethics that was
adopted by this office for all other employees.
I would appreciate your coordination of each of these items for review by the Personnel
Committee and City Council for the January, 1993 organizational meeting that will be held
on January 19.
