A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO APPROVE SHARED
LEAVE BEYOND THAT AUTHORIZED BY THE PERSONNEL
POLICIES.
WHEREAS, the City has adopted Personnel Policies (hereinafter "Policies") to serve
as a general guide to the City's employment practices and procedures; and
WHEREAS, the Policies include at Section 8.14 a Shared Leave policy that allows the
Mayor to authorize employees to donate their accrued leave to another City employee
under certain circumstances; and
WHEREAS, it has come to the Mayor's attention that employees have sought to use
shared leave in circumstances not covered by the Policies, such as personal emergencies,
when bereavement leave is unavailable for the loss of a loved one not covered by that
policy, and when limited term employees are not able to accrue sufficient leave to use
for needed time away from work; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is appropriate to authorize the
Mayor to approve the use of shared leave by employees on a case-by-case basis to
address the need for flexibility on the use of shared leave in appropriate
circumstances; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON,
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
The Mayor is hereby authorized to approve requests for the use of shared leave pursuant
to the Shared Leave policy for reasons not currently outlined in that policy on a case-by-
case basis at the Mayor's discretion. The use of such approved leave shall in all other
respects comply with the Shared Leave policy.
RESOLVED this 23 rd day of July,_2024.
