COUNCIL STUDY SESSION MINUTES
NOVEMBER 2, 2016 — 4:OOPM
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor England
GENERAL BUSINESS:
1. Discussion on changes to the City Personnel Policy.
Mayor gave some background on the process of getting the new personnel policy in
place. Scott Gummersall reviewed the history. Many of the changes the City is
proposing will bring the City into compliance with current law and bring the policy up to
date with changes the City has made. The template for the current policy came from
ICRMP. Scott Gummersall reviewed what he perceives as the top 10 changes to the
policy with the council. Mr. Gummersall would like the policy to be effective the first of
the year. Councilmember Lewis asked if City staff had thought through the effect the
changes will have on City employees. Councilmember Ellis asked if the City has worked
through the issues of appointed employees, who is and who'isn't. Councilmember
Baumeister asked about the sections dealing with harassment and protected employees.
Mr. Gummersall explained the process the employee would go through if they felt
harassed or discriminated against.
Councilmember Lewis asked Mr. Gummersall to provide a document that would show
the changes made from the old document to the new document.
2. Discussion on leasing a vehicle for Mayor.
Mayor England explained the situation with his current vehicle. Having had a discussion
just months ago on procedures to replace a vehicle the Mayor wanted to bring the council
in on this decision from the beginning. Councilmember Ellis would like the Mayor to
look at leasing a vehicle and purchasing a vehicle so the council can compare the options.
Councilmember Lewis asked about the status of the other City cars currently in the car
pool. Primary use is in town. There is some highway travel for training. Mayor will
come back to the council with numbers to further the discussion.
