A. Council Policy Amendments
Confirmation of next steps: To follow-up on the Council’s December 3rd briefing, staff would like to confirm with the Council that the housekeeping amendments to the Policy Manual will be incorporated as reviewed, but as a more significant project, staff will review the Manual for other updates that are needed. This review would include: sections throughout that need to be reviewed and updated with the Attorney’s Office and/or Human Resources for consistency with current practice, updated State Code, etc. The review will also go through the policies and statements regarding Land Use (Sections E), Transportation (Section F), and other sections as appropriate, for consistency with more recently approved Council statements on the topics. If Council Members would like to meet with staff to provide feedback or comment on any of the Manual, please let us know. For the Council’s review, a clean full copy of the Policy Manual is attached, with the housekeeping changes incorporated. Item was not discussed.
