SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Resolution 25-19 adopts the updated City of Valdez Employee Personnel Regulations.
The current Personnel Regulations were last approved 1-21-2025.
Since that time and as part of the ongoing review of policies with feedback from employees and staff, several recommended changes have been identified:
• Section 7.3 Holidays: Adding Juneteenth (June 19) as an annual holiday.
• Section 7.6 - Family Medical Leave (FML): Removing paragraph related to spouse sharing FMLA and AFLA hours.
• 9.2 Business Travel: Modifying this section as part of a review and update of the City Business and Expense Policy for constancy and clarity.
These updated Personnel Regulations will replace the current Regulations previously adopted. A summary of changes is attached.
We are asking that these changes and updates to the City of Valdez Personnel Regulations be adopted and a new effective date assigned.
