| | | | | | | | | FROM: | Jennifer Gabbard | | TO: | Mayor and City Council |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | Subject:
Extension of Light Duty | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Approval to extend a Police Officer's light duty assignment for up to an additional six months. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Approve the extension of light duty. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
The city's policy on restricted or "light-duty" work assignments requires City Council approval for an employee to remain on light duty for more than six months. A Police Officer was injured on the job in May, 2017. Based on the work restriction reports received from the doctor, the employee has been on continuous light-duty since August, 2017. At this time, there is sufficient work of value to the Department for this employee to continue working full-time while on light duty. If the doctor clears the employee to return to work with no restrictions prior to six months, then the light duty assignment will be lifted and the employee will return to patrol. The employees name is considered private data. | | |
