RESOLUTION NO. 136-92
MICROFILMED
A RESOLUTION CLARIFYING THE INTERPRETATION OF
SECTION VII -3, 3), POLITICAL ACTIVITY
RESTRICTED, OF THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE
PERSONNEL POLICY, TO NOT REQUIRE A PRESENT
CITY EMPLOYEE TO RESIGN IF THEY BECOME A
CANDIDATE FOR THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT POSITION
NOW HELD.
WHEREAS, the City's current personnel policy was promulgated
for the city manager form of government, with the only elected
officials being the board of directors; and
WHEREAS, the intent of Section VII -3, 3), Political Activity
Restricted, of the City of Fayetteville Personnel Policy was to
prevent a city employee from running for the Board without
resigning from their city employement; and
WHEREAS, a change in the form of government was not
considered in the drafting of this personnel policy; and
WHEREAS, to require an "incumbent" appointed city employee to
resign in order to become a candidate for the same or equivalent
position now held was not the purpose of the policy; and
WHEREAS, requiring such resignations would leave the city
without the experience of these individuals during the transition
period and would not be of benefit to the city.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS:
5ection 1. That the Board of Directors hereby interprets
Section VII -3, 3), Political Activity Restricted, of the City of
Fayetteville Personal Policy, as not requiring a present city
employee to resign if they become a candidate for the same or
equivalent position now held.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 1st day of September , 1992.
