However, the city manager would make the decision whether the education would be beneficial to the employee and the city. • No support due to other code requirements covering reimbursement. • Support for the motion as the city would have to pay someone to replace the person who is attending the training, etc. • An employee may only borrow three weeks of leave, and the city manager would be responsible to consider the needs of the department prior to approval. • Question why there was no memorandum of explanation accompanying the ordinance (it was noted an employee wanted to take advantage of an educational program directly related to the city position, but would not have the amount of leave to cover the time away from the job). • Though not a requirement of the code, a written agreement has been used for police officers away for training which requires reimbursement to the city, etc. *Student Representative Harding: No Smalle No Eldridge Yes Ross No Molloy No Boyle No Porter Yes Swarner Yes • • n Discussion on the second part of the motion (adding "In the event the person's employment with the City ends prior to the borrowed leave being repaid, the employee must reimburse the City for the value of any leave not repaid.
