log of the hours accumulated as compared to the hours used. Use of these comp hours by an employee is not an entitlement and the city could simply eliminate these hours entirely. However, I think it's appropriate to acknowledge the work and dedication of these employees. In this regard, I am recommending to the City Council that when we stop the recording of comp time and eliminate the comp time hours that are on the books, then the city gives the employee 20% of the hours accumulated to be used as personal leave time. This personal leave time will not be paid in cash upon the employee leaving the city. The employee xvill need to use these hours sometime over the next five years. In this manner, employees that have three or four weeks vacation time available to them per year will not have to try to also use all of their personal leave time in one year and can plan out the use of this time. Even with this five-year approach, there may be a fexv employees that do not use all of their personal leave. It is planned that this change in the recording of comp time be effective on November 2, 2003. This will necessitate a sentence change and a sentence removal from the current personnel policy manual. Attached for your information is page 5 of the city personnel policy manual that refers to time off for exempt employees. Two sentences towards the end of this section need changing and/or removal. Action on this item will be requested on October 27, 2003. Any Council feedback on the above proposals prior to October 27 will be appreciated and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
