and Procedures; amending Section 4-11, amount of Personal

personal leave for Assistant Town Managers and Department
Heads.
DISCUSSION
The growth of many organizations has led to a shrinking talent pool of quality executives. More
and more organizations are searching for effective ways to recruit and retain key executives.
These talented executives can make a big difference-if organizations can keep them.
In order to attract and retain forward-thinking, knowledge-based top performers, assistant town
managers or department heads may be granted up to an additional 40 hours of personal leave an-
nually.
In addition, revision of Section 4-11 will remove restrictions and offer more flexibility to em-
ployees Town-wide when scheduling personal leave use.
Staffwill bring this back to council for approval and adoption at the February 7,2006 meeting.
A TT ACHMENT(S)
