City Manager Bill R.Da Vee commented that with an 8 hour schedule there will not be the flexibility or option to adjust time in any way within a work period,which means i t all becomes overtime and compensatory time,which means that should an employee be terminated,i t would have to be paid at time and one-half,and could be quite expensive.

Mr.Da Vee replied that this is correct,and would not cause the financial burden that the 8 hour schedule would. Councilman Damiano asked i f an employee has taken two days vacation,and worked three days and wants to go in to work on Saturday,would he get over time? Councilman Bluntschly stated that i f he is required to work,yes,but employees should not be able to choose that as an option. Councilman Burgess and Councilman Bluntschly withdrew the motion and second. Councilman Burgess MOVED THAT ORDINANCE NO.597,AS READ BY THE CITY CLERK,BE APPROVED WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS: THAT ITEMS A AND D BE ELIMINATED,WHICH RETAINS THE FORTY HOUR WORK WEEK,AND THE COMPENSATORY TIME PROVISION,TO BE AT THE DISCRETION OF THE DEPARTMENT HEAD, AND THAT HOLIDAY AND VACATION TIME ARE INCLUDED IN OVERTIME CALCULATIONS; AND I FURTHER MOVE THAT THE CITY MANAGER BE GIVEN DIRECTION TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES IN THE POLICE PERSONNEL POLICIES TO CONFORM WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS CHAPTER.
