2.Review and Discuss Recommended Changes to the Personnel Policy Manual.
Mike Brice summarized the changes in the Personnel Policy Manual. He reviewed each of
the changes and noted that two of them are what precipitated this because of recent law
changes and the rest are just clarifications and clean up in the policy. It had been two years
since revisions the manual had been updated. The two major changes are the Breastfeeding
Policy which is a new requirement under FLSA and the Weapons Policy.
3.Discussion on Road Impact Fees.
Joe Iliff summarized and noted that the Road Impact fees were discussed about a month ago
and Council requested more information.Council asked what the relationship between the fee
being assessed and the facilities you can build with it, and if there is a time line and/or
commitment to do those type of things. He summarized the list of definitions regarding
adoption of Road Impact Fees from the Local Government Code which he provided in the
packets.It was noted that the Road Impact Fees could not be used for the repair and
maintenance of existing roads. That they will help in the sense that we will be able to use
some of the Road Impact Fee Funds for portions of roadway projects such as right-of-way
acquisition, etc., and free up more of the city’s tax money to improve the conditions of the
roads.Council requested a more comprehensive list of Road Impact Fee collection amounts
from various cities at the next work session.
