Summary
The city wants to stop requiring council approval of the 150-plus-page employee manual, which hasn't had a full overhaul since 2006 — the change would let the city administrator keep it current with fast-changing employment law while council keeps control over pay, benefits, pensions, and staffing budgets. A public hearing is required if the council moves forward.

Impact analysis
City employees get a manual that actually reflects current employment law; council keeps say over pay and benefits.
Residents who value direct council oversight of personnel policy could see reduced elected-official review.
