5.g) Staff Report-Leave of Absence
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: May 19, 2015
To: City Council
From: Kristina Handt, Administrator
Re: Leave of Absence
Background:
At the May work session, the Council directed staff to put approval of a 9 week leave of absence for
the administrator on the consent agenda.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve three additional weeks of leave for the administrator following
maternity leave?
Proposal Details:
I’m requesting the Council approve 9 weeks of leave following the birth of my baby in late
August/early September. Tentative dates of leave would be August 31, 2015-October 30, 2015.
Fiscal Impact:
I am not requesting any additional pay for the leave. I will be using earned PTO. The only increase
in hours would be for the Treasurer which is already included in the budget.
Options:
1. Approve 9 weeks leave for administrator
2. Approve another amount of time for administrator
3. Do not approve any additional leave.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
