Saline City Council adopted changes to its personnel policy manual at the June 26 meeting. The changes recommended by assistant city manager Elle Getschman weren’t “super substantive,” in Getschman’s words.
The city approved changes to the manual last year, Getschman noted.
The changes do a few things:
The changes were approved by a 5-0 vote of council, with Mayor Brian Marl and Councillor Jack Ceo absent.
There was an interesting nugget of information in a brief discussion prompted by questions by Councillor Dean Girbach.
City manager Colleen O’Toole noted that the main point of the nepotism policy was that nobody should be a direct supervisor of a relative. Girbach asked how the city manages the hiring of employees related to other employees. Colleen said that the policy was “agnostic” about that and only deals with supervisory issues.
Recently Councillor Janet Diillon's daughter began interning with the city.
