Observations/Alternatives: <br />Alternative 1: Authorize staff to approve a telecommuting policy only as approved by the City Council on a <br />case -by -base basis. <br />Pros: May provide a more thorough vetting of each telecommuting requests. <br />Cons: Creates more administrative work for staff and takes the City Council's valuable time away from policy level <br />work. <br />Alternative 2: Deny approval of a telecommuting policy all together. <br />Pros: Removes the telecommuting option and therefore eliminates the need for staff consideration. <br />Cons: May make the difference of whether or not an employee remains employed or resigns from the City; thereby <br />risking the loss of trained employee and creating additional recruiting and on -boarding expenses. <br />Recommendation: <br />To make a motion, which upon City Council approval, will authorize staff to finalize a telecommuting policy and <br />to grant staff the authority to consider, on a case -by -case basis, any eligible employee's request for a telecommuting <br />arrangement. <br />Funding Source: <br />There is no funding required for this action. <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to approve a resolution, confirming the recommendation of the Personnel Committee, finalize a <br />telecommuting policy and to grant staff the authority to consider, on a case -by -case basis, any eligible employee's <br />request for a telecommuting arrangement. <br />Draft Application Form <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Diana Lund Diana Lund 04/18/2013 08:39 Ail <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 04/18/2013 03:03 PM <br />Form Started By: Colleen Lasher Started On: 04/15/2013 09:05 Ai l <br />Final Approval Date: 04/18/2013 <br />
