City Commission Discusses Personnel Manual Changes
The commission debated changes to the personnel manual, including DPS work schedules under the Fair Labor Standards Act and extending funeral leave to step-parents. They argued against allowing grievances to be appealed to the commission, citing state law. A public hearing on Blackhawk Street improvements drew resident concerns over cost and tax impact. Estimates showed reinforced concrete or asphalt options with district and city share. The board deferred a decision, urging a larger petition and cost estimates for a broader project. A status report on city projects included South Main Street awaiting approval to open. An $819 donation from Beta Sigma Phi funded phase two of a Forest Park redwood play center.
