ITEM 5.5. <br /> <br />ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br /> Mayor and City Council <br /> <br /> Sandra Thackeray, City Clerk <br /> <br /> May 9, 1996 <br /> <br /> Bereavement Acknowledgment <br /> <br />It has been brought to my attention that the city does not have a <br />standard policy for acknowledging the bereavement of a city <br />employee, or of an employee's immediate family member (parents, <br />spouse or children). <br /> <br />The Council may want to consider a policy to deal with this type of <br />situation. One option is for the City to contribute a monetary token <br />(flowers, memorial, etc.) to the deceased employee or employee's <br />immediate family. If this were the case, then it would only be fair for <br />the policy to include all employees in the program. All employees <br />would include the following departments: city hall, police, street, <br />WWTP, utilities, liquor store, fire, and park and recreation. <br /> <br />Another option would be to have employees cover the cost of the <br />monetary token by themselves by "passing the hat." If this were the <br />case, the council would have the option of being included with the <br />rest of the employees or doing something on their own. <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> <br />Direction as to what type of policy to draft: <br /> <br />Option A: City funded <br />Option B: Employee funded <br /> <br />s:\council\bereave.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
