. ain thou <br /> HE e <br /> DATE : APPROVAL : <br /> February 13 , 1990 <br /> TO . <br /> City Councilmembers <br /> FROM : <br /> Thomas D. Burt, City Manager <br /> ITEM : PROPOSED EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION LUNCH <br /> During the February 6, 1990 Council work session, staff presented the <br /> idea of a City employee recognition lunch. I have discussed this with <br /> the City Attorney and he said there is nothing legally preventing the <br /> City from doing this. All cities have to exercise caution that any <br /> money spent is only for public good. The recognition of employees' <br /> years of service is a sign of thanks that is good for employee moral and <br /> in turn is for public good. <br /> The City presently gives employees' awards for each five years of <br /> service. How these awards are given to the employee has varied from the <br /> Manager handing the award to the employee to presenting them at a City <br /> Council meeting. <br /> A City-sponsored lunch for the employees will allow all employees to be <br /> recognized for their work and show their support to fellow employees <br /> receiving service awards. The cost of the lunch would not exceed $600 <br /> if all employees attended. Due to employees' schedules, we expect <br /> approximately 40 employees to attend the lunch at a cost of <br /> approximately $300. If this is well received, we will budget for this <br /> in the future. I would then ask one employee from each department to <br /> help plan the lunch and make the presentation of the awards. <br /> Funding for the lunch this year could come from the City Council' s con- <br /> tingency or from the money we are saving from the "vacancies" of the <br /> police and fire chief positions. <br /> :cjk3.13 .902 <br />
