Personnel Policy Proposed Amendment
4.4 UNUSUAL WEATHER CONDITIONS
The City will normally continue to operate even during times of inclement weather or natural
disaster, unless the City notifies employees otherwise. Many City services are of primary importance
during emergency conditions. Every effort will be made to maintain City services at a normal level, or
modified, as conditions warrant. At these times, employees may be asked to perform duties outside
their normal job description to assist with providing priority services.
If unusual weather conditions prevent an employee from reporting to work, it is the employee’s
responsibility to notify his or her supervisor as soon as possible. A non- exempt employee who is unable
to get to work, or leaves work early because of unusual weather conditions may charge the time missed
to: vacation or compensatory time (if available), or leave without pay, subject to Department Director
approval. Employees may be permitted to leave early to ensure their safety, however, no department
shall be closed without the prior approval of the Mayor or Mayor’s designee.
If at any time, the Mayor or his/her designee, closes City Hall due to inclement weather or a state of
emergency, non-essential employees will not be required to report to work. The City will pay non-
essential employees for the equivalent time of their regular working hours for that day and they will not
be required to use leave. Employees designated as essential will need to coordinate with the supervisor
regarding their schedule. Essential employees who are required to stay and work by the Employer shall
be credited the equivalent time of the closure into their vacation leave banks. The foregoing shall not
apply to situations in which City Hall is closed to the public but remains open for employees to work.
This section will not apply to non-essential and essential employees that were previously scheduled to
use leave (i.e. vacation, personal holiday, sick or other leave categories) during the closure.
