as a full time employee immediately preceding shall be given a vacation of
approximately 120 hours with pay each year. The Elected Official employee
shall be entitled to eight (8) additional hours of vacation for each year of full-time
continuous service each year thereafter.
B. Mid-management and Confidential employees who shall have at least one
year's continuous service as a full-time employee immediately preceding shall be
given a vacation of 80 hours with pay each year.
C. The Elected Official shall only be allowed to accrue a maximum of 320
hours of vacation. This maximum can only be exceeded with approval of the City
Manager.
D. All mid-management employees, who shall have at least three (3)years of
continuous service shall be entitled to eight (8) additional hours of vacation for
each year of full-time continuous service in excess of three (3) years. The
vacation accrual schedule for mid-management employees is as follows:
Years Vacation Maximum Hourly Annual Maximum
Service Hours Accrual Rate/Pay Vacation Vacation
Earned Period Bi-Weekly Hours Accrual
1 80 3.0769 80 160
2 80 3.0769 80 160
3 80 3.0769 80 160
4 88 3.3846 88 200
5 96 3.6923 96 200
6 104 4.0000 104 200
7 112 4.3044 112 200
8 120 4.6154 120 200
9 1 128 4.9231 128 240
10 136 5.2308 136 240

earned each fiscal year. Those employees who have been credited in excess of
the maximum vacation accrual allowed are expected to use a portion of the
excess as leave time, in addition to other vacation time, each year until the
maximum accrual is met. The City recognizes that a number of long-term
employees have accrued substantially more leave time than shorter-term
employees, and that it will likely take them significantly longer to achieve the
maximum accrual level. It is the intent of this section to balance the personal
interests of the employee with the financial concerns of the City; as such,
significant progress toward reaching the maximum accrual amounts may be
deemed a success.
H. Vacation leave time shall not be approved until such time as it has been
earned, unless prior, special arrangements have been made with the City
Manager. The time at which an employee shall take vacation leave shall be
requested by the employee prior to the start of the vacation leave period. Such
vacation leave to be taken shall be subject to the prior approval of the
9of14
Resolution Number 6444 Exhibit A
Department Head, or designee, subsequent to consideration of the departmental
workload and other staffing considerations, such as but not limited to, the
previously approved vacation schedule of other employees, sick leave and
position vacancies.
I. Not more than once in each fiscal year, an employee who has completed
at least one year of continuous service shall, upon request, receive
compensation for up to 80 hours of accrued vacation time provided that the
employee has taken 50 hours of vacation time off within that fiscal year. An
employee shall also, upon request, receive compensation for up to 120 hours of
accrued vacation time provided that the employee has taken 80 hours of accrued
vacation time off within that fiscal year.
