analysis of sick leave records for Maybelle Hackett, Secretary II) Parks and
Recreation Department and Ethel eyr) Clerk 1) Utilities Department. It was
explained that the requests of these employees for additional sick leave were
similar in that each of them had been required by their department head to
take their vacation as part of their sick leave.
The Board had previously approved Mrs. eyrls request and payment for the
additional sick leave had reinstated her vacation. The Director recommended
that for the aakeof uniformity. Mrs. Hackett's request for 14 days additional
sick leave be granted. This would reinstate her vacation and put her in the
same pOJition as Mrs. eyre

Mr. Stewart said that this was ona reason why ho believed employees should
be required to take their vacations be foro thoy wero granted additional sick
leave. Board members felt the matter of granting additional sick leave was
getting completely out of hand. Mr. Thompaon stated that in the future, as
long as he was Oil the Board. thero would be no more situations like this and
he recommended that the City ~mna8ar inform dcparbnant heads that such requests
should not be approved.
Mr. Wallace moved that the Board extend Mrs. Hackett 14 days additional sick
leave but from this time on. the Board take other action. Seconded by
Mr. Thompson with the stipulation that there be Il cl~nge in granting sick
leave from now on. Members agreed that separate motions should be made and
~~.Wallace then moved that Mrs. Hackett's request for 14 additional days
sick leave 'be granted. Seconded by Mr. Thompson. Motion carried.
Mr. Thompson made a motion that from now on the sick leave extension be
curtailed commensurate with the time the individual actually carns sick leave
and that the granting of extra sick leave should be only under very extenuating
circumstances. At Mr. Dalby's suggestion. Mr. Thompson included in his motion
that the Director prepare a proper analysis of the employee's nick leave before
additional sick leave is granted. Seconded by Mrs. Bissell. Carried.
