SUBJECT: Discussion of edits to Title 1, Chapter 4 of Waterloo City Code.
Submitted by: Submitted By: Kelley Felchle, City Clerk
Recommended Action:
I have received requests to bring the rules of procedure back for discussion
at a work session. The first order of business at this work session is to
discuss whether council wants to renew a discussion of and pursue adopting
a revised rules of procedure.
To recap where we left off, Council voted at the 4/13/20 work session to
table discussion of the rules of procedure until members were able to meet
again in person. Prior to that vote, council tabled discussion of the rules of
procedure in order to allow time for Mr. Morrissey to review changes from
the final task force version of the rules of procedure versus changes the
mayor and city clerk made to the final task force version of the rules of
procedure, and make changes to draft council had completed review. From
May to December of 2019, council held numerous work sessions and
completed review of the rules of procedure. A task force comprised of city
staff, Mrs. Juon, and Mr. Morrissey met from February to September of
2018 to review a proposed rules of procedure. Prior to the task force the
City Clerk, Mayor, and City Attorney met in late 2017 to review and discuss
changes to Title I and a City Council Rules of Procedure Policy written by
the City Attorney and City Clerk.
Summary Statement:
Three documents are attached to this communication. The first is titled,
"Final Draft with Rules of Procedure-Updates through 1.6.2020". this
document reflects changes discussed at council work sessions in 2019. The
second is titled, "Title 1 -2020 Morrissey Comments 3.4.2020", and reflects
the changes made to the document while discussion was tabled. The third is
titled "Title 1 - Combined Chapter 4-6_09.16.2020", which includes changes
discussed in 2019 by council, changes made while the document was tabled
in 2020, additional changes from the City Clerk, and the combination of
chapters 4-6 into one chapter with three articles.
The reason for combining chapters 4-6 into one chapter is to prevent the
existing chapters five and six from being over written should council approve
a rules of procedure. Please see the attachment titled "chapter illustration",
for further clarification.
If council chooses to move forward with discussion of the rules of
procedure, I recommend we begin discussion with the document titled "Title
I - Combined Chapter 4-6_09.16.2020".

employees,duties,working conditions,supervisors,etc.,is discouraged. If an employee voices a
concern or complaint with them,council members may listen to such concerns and complaints,

matter,to the human resources director,for follow up and action if needed. Council members
may remind the city's employees that they have a number of resources at their disposal to
address employment issues if needed,including the employee handbook,or following the
grievance procedures set forth in their collective bargaining agreement in the case of a union
employee. This section shall not be construed as prohibiting or discouraging employees from
reporting criminal acts or serious acts of personal misconduct that violate the employee
handbook.
C. In situations in which an employee approaches a council member and the communication
does not involve a complaint or concem with regard to other city employees,duties,working
conditions,supervisors,or other terms of employment,council members may freely speak with

to oversee and direct their workforce on behalf of the city. The human resources director and

to avoid inconsistent or political influences in the investigative or disciplinary process,which
