Title
Council-Staff Communications Policy.
Body
The Council adopted amendments to its rules of procedure and the town’s personnel policies in 2010 relating to communications between members of the Council and town employees. The purpose of the amendments was to define and clarify boundaries of acceptable communication under the Charter provision in Article III, Section 2(A)(11) that “Except for the purpose of inquiry, the Council and its members shall deal with the administrative service solely through the Manager and neither the Council nor any member thereof shall give orders to any subordinates of the Manager, either publicly or privately.”
Copies of materials from the Council’s consideration of these changes in 2010 are attached.
