AGENDA ITEM 3 <br />STAFF MEMBER DANIEL TESCH, ASSISTANT CITY ADMIN. <br />DATE 3 FEBRUARY 1998 <br />SUBJECT ORDINANCE 29 -97, REPLACING SECTION 207 OF <br />THE CITY CODE <br />BACKGROUND <br />This ordinance had its first reading in October of 1997. I would like the council to <br />proceed with the second reading on Monday evening. <br />Ordinance 29 -97 would replace Section 207 of the city code, the section dealing with the <br />city's personnel policies. Basic elements of human resource management would remain <br />in the city code. Ordinance 29 -97 is based upon consultation with other municipalities <br />including Minnetonka and Shoreview. The city of Minnetonka's attorney is Desyl <br />Peterson, an "expert" in data practices. <br />The city is in the process of updating many of the benefits we provide to our employees. <br />Having our personnel policy in ordinance form causes those changes to be cumbersome <br />and time consuming, ie. two readings, publication and a 30 day waiting period. The city <br />attorney has been consulted and concurs with this proposal. <br />Any changes and/or enhancements to our personnel policy would still require council <br />approval, would be adopted or changed by resolution, and effective immediately. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Approve Ordinance 29 -97 <br />2. Deny Ordinance 29 -97 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option 1 <br />
