8. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. City Policy Requiring New Employees to be Vaccinated Against the COVID-19 Virus (Time Stamp
15:09)
HR Manager Lund explained on October 26, 2021, the Council considered and passed a policy revision
to require all employees to provide proof of having at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccination
prior to employment, and as a condition of continued employment receive the second dose with 30
days, unless approved for a medical or religious exemption. The City no longer tracks vaccination
status of current employees.
The Police Department has expressed a concern that the vaccination requirement may be negatively
impacting the recruitment for police officers, in particular lateral police officers. All department
directors discussed the vaccination requirement at a recent meeting, none were opposed to
removing the vaccination requirement.
Additionally, in accordance with the council's guiding principle related to diversity, equity and
inclusion, it is worth noting that there remains a vaccination equity gap relative to some populations
with American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander and those of
multiple races falling behind white, non -Hispanic people living in the United States.
