Ordinance to Amend City Code
As I promised you late last year, I will be carefully reviewing the sections of City Code pertaining
to employment practices and updating them as necessary. The first amendment, which includes
several minor changes, is on the agenda for April 21. A copy of the amendment ordinance (D-
1290-97) is attached and a brief discussion of the changes follows.
Because Sections 2-40 ahd 2-55 are essentially duplicative, and Section 2-55 is the more accurate
of the two, Section 2-40 is repealed. Section 2-55 is revised to change the word "regular" to
"sworn" because the word "regular" is ambiguous in this context. Since ~anuary 1, 1)97, civilian
police and fire employees are under City Code rather than departmental rules and regulations, and
tNs change makes the distinction clearer.
Section 2-53 is also repealed because it has been replaced by another program that serves the
same purpose. In 1990 the City created the Catastrophic Medical Leave Bank, which is a more
formal and well-defined plan for sharing sick time with co-workers in need of additional time (see
Division iV, Sections 2-66 through 2-71).
I expect little or no employee reaction to these changes, as they will have minimal impact. I will,
however, notify employees and give them an opportunity to respond.
Please call me at 571-2471 if you have any questions or comments regarding this amendment. I
will be out of the office the week of April 14, but Brenda can take a message and I will get back
to you.
