Mr. Jack Elstro, President
Members of Common Council
RE: ORDINANCE NO. 65-1984 (vacation of City Employees)
Dear Mr. Elstro and Members of Common Council,
The City Attorney and City Controller respectfully request that
Ordinance No, 65-1984, currently held on first reading, be
struck from the files with leave to submit a similar ordinance
in the near future.
The City Attorney and the City Controller plan to redraft the
entire ordinance to eliminate the unlimited accumulation of
vacation time. It would be much simpler and clearer to redraft
the entire ordinance than to present amendments to the present
ordinance.
We plan to present the revised ordinance in early September,
1984, after the budget hearings are completed. We will continue
with the policy currently in use of One (1) week after six (6)
months, two (2) weeks after one (1) year, andthe addition of
one (1) day each year after four (4) years.
Your cooperation is appreciated.
Sincerely,
eza
Cath A Maness, City Controller
Kenneth E. Barden, City Attorney
