SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Resolution #21-10 adopts the new City of Valdez Employee Personnel Regulations.
These new Personnel Regulations will replace the current Regulations previously adopted in 2008.
The Current Personnel Regulations were last approved in 2008 and are no longer current in many key areas and required a significant update. In addition, the format was sometimes difficult to read and often lead to misinterpretations and inconsistencies in their application.
The new Regulation format has been designed to have a logical and more cohesive progression within each section and from one section to the next. The language is more readable and has also been updated for better clarity to avoid inconsistent application.
While there are parallel and similar sections in the 2008 Regulations and these new Personnel Regulations, the difference in format as well as the new sections and multiple changes are significant - not just a simple line item change.
Therefore, we are asking that these City of Valdez Personnel Regulations 2021 be adopted and the 2008 Regulations are retired.
