Bereavement Policy Amendment
On June 3, 1996, the City Council adopted a bereavement policy which
allowed the city to contribute $25.00 in the event of the death of a city
employee or immediate family member of an employee.
After reviewing the pohcy, staff is requesting council to increase the $25.00
to $50.00.
COUNCIL ACTION:
If the council concurs with this request, a motion to increase the amount
would be appropriate. If the council wishes to discuss this issue, it should be
taken off of the consent agenda for discussion.
For your information .............................. The City will be purchasing a
gas grill which will be located outside of the employee lunch room. This grill
will be purchased with funds generated from the "employee pop fund."
