RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended Council approve the introduction of amendments to the Fresno Municipal Code (FMC), Chapter 3, Article 1, Section 3-107 Sick Leave and Special Leave, and to Chapter 3, Article 2, Section 3-264 Special Provisions Relating to Fireman Trainee Class.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

California Assembly Bill (AB) 1522 and Senate Bill (SB) 579 enacted a number of changes that impact the provision and administration of Sick Leave for employees. In addition, FMC Section 3-107 contains references to a Charter Section that was deleted in 1993. Consequently, it is necessary to update FMC Section 3-107 regarding the provision and use of Sick Leave for City employees.

FMC Section 3-264 Special Provisions Relating to Fireman Trainee Class includes the outdated terminology "Fireman" which will be replaced with the gender-neutral terminology "Firefighter". In addition, this section of the FMC includes a citation of another section in the FMC using the old numbering system. This will be remedied by updating the citation with the current numbering system.
