revised policies. Department Heads and Managers have had numerous
meetings reviewing the proposed changes.

One of the many changes proposed was the elimination of the option of
accruing and banking compensatory time off and instead receiving

staff's attention that there were concerns by certain employees of the
elimination of the option of accruing and banking compensatory time off.
A proposal came forward to allow for accrual of compensatory time off
with a cap of 40 hours.
The City Council is recommended to adoption Resolution No. 13-4885
amending the newly revised Personnel Rules to allow for the accrual of
