Employees with at <br />least five years of service are recognized at five year intervals and allowed to choose gifts valued <br />at $5 per year of service. After the awards ceremony in April 2007, some employees expressed <br />dissatisfaction with the program as it did not retroactively recognize employees who had already <br />had milestone anniversaries. <br />Human Resources Manager Reed Kone further explained that if the program were implemented <br />retroactively, it would cost the city approximately $2,000 to recognize employees who had had <br />milestone anniversaries but who had not yet been recognized. <br />Chair Jeffrey expressed concern that when implementing a new program there has to be a <br />starting point which means that some employees will not be recognized for their past milestones. <br />Discussion ensued and it was determined that the Committee would not recommend that the <br />Council adopt this resolution at this time. <br />Case #4: General Discussion Regarding Boards and Commissions <br />Appointment Process <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson reviewed the Appointment Process and noted that the <br />current policy states that anyone who misses 3 or more meetings in a 6 month period, however, <br />when there have been absences, staff has sent a letter reminding them of the importance of <br />regular attendance at meetings. <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if people are paid if they don't attend meetings. <br />Personnel Committee / March 25, 2008 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />
