CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 3A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Karissa Bartholomew, Human Resources Manager
MEETING DATE: August 10, 2020
TOPIC: Personnel Policy Amendment
VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The Council is being asked to consider Resolution No. 20-87, which removes the Computer
Purchase Plan from the Personnel Policy.
BACKGROUND
Staff is recommending the Computer Purchase Plan be removed from the Personnel Policy. The
intent behind the policy was to help employees get access to and become familiar with computers.
Knowing it would benefit the City by increasing an employee's familiarity and comfort level
with computer use. Throughout the years it has evolved to allow for more modern purchases such
as tablets and has strayed from its original purpose due to the fact that technology is more
common. Technology, access, and use has come a long way, and this provision no longer
provides a benefit to the City.
Staff is recommending the removal of the Computer Purchase Plan from the Personnel Policy.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 20-87
