AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
The City of Maricopa's Personnel Policies and Procedures were adopted in 2006. Since then, the City has grown from approximately 40 employees to more than 200 employees. The City has seen considerable change although the City's Personnel Policies and Procedures have remained unaltered since 2006.
Staff is proposing that some of the City of Maricopa Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual adopted in 2006 be repealed and replaced with City Manager-approved Administrative Policies. This request is based on changes in the workforce, work environment, operational needs and the needs of the City and employees, as well as the ability of the City Manager to set policies regarding the workplace environment in accordance with the City's Municipal Code.
