1. Discussion and possible action on vacation benefit for non-represented employees.

Personnel Specialist Jakusz said the Common Council has approved a revised vacation schedule for the AFSCME Local 348 Clerical employees earlier this year. The revised vacation schedule added one vacation day after twenty five years and two vacation days after twenty six years of employment.

She went on to say that the request before the Personnel Committee tonight is for the Committee's consideration to grant the same vacation schedule to the non-represented employees effective on their anniversary date in 2002. A total of five non-represented employees will be affected if the request is granted. This request is being made for parity purposes.

The City Administrative Policy will be changed accordingly upon approval of the request by the Personnel Committee and Common Council.
