Regular Meeting City Council June 14, 2004 Page 30 the draft stage at this time. Councilman Poston asked for a copy of the old personnel policy. Interim City Manager Townsend said he could get a copy of the draft of the new personnel policy to the Council by next month's City Council meeting. Councilwoman Fisher asked if and when the amounts of time that can be accumulated changes, for those who already have accumulated excess time, will that be taken from them. Interim City Manager Townsend said that would have to be in the personnel policy and he thought that would not be taken from them. Mayor Fendley said that would be up to the Council. Councilwoman Wilkerson indicated she would say no to taking away what has already been accumulated because the decisions of past Councils are responsible for where the City is at and this Council is being charged with making things better. She felt they wouldn't be stripping employees of what they had already gained but will not be letting them continue to accumulate that much time. She felt they needed to put a policy in place that everyone could understand. Councilman Bell wanted to know since the finance department had converted to the GASB 34 reporting would that interfere with the Council's comparing last year's budget to this year's, line item by line item. Mr. Anderson replied it would not. He explained the GASB 34 is really reporting thing for bond holders and similar items. Mr. Bell said when trying to compare the audit with the budget, it just didn't match up. Mr. Anderson said it was a totally different format. Councilman Wilson indicated he had been getting telephone calls and he would like to put the issue of comp time to rest. He said, as he understood it, managers right now are under the direction of the City Manager. He felt that a policy needs to be made that if these salaried, exempt employees take off more than one (1) day, that they have to report to the City Manager and take that time
