Consider adopting the Second Reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 7 - Sick Leave Program to align with PERS Tier 5, effective March 1, 2026. The amendment clarifies that unused sick leave is not creditable toward retirement and establishes a limitation on lump-sum sick leave payouts for employees hired on or after that date. Current employees are not affected. The ordinance is retroactive to ensure consistency with state law.
