Board of Aldermen 1-02-2020 Page 7

Back on the table is the wrong expression, it would be more proper to say “back on the floor” or “back
before the Board of Aldermen for its consideration”. Tabled is where things are put pending further action
at another time. So there was just a misuse of the phrase, but essentially the explanation was correct.
Alderman Jette

MOTION BY ALDERMAN CLEMONS TO OVERRIDE THE MAYOR’S VETO OF R-18-102, AMENDED,
BY ROLL CALL
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Jette
| voted in favor of this the last time we voted, the time before that | voted against it. And! voted against it
because at that time the contract provided for allowing employees who were hired after September 16,
2003 to have unlimited sick leave. If you may allow me to explain, my understanding is that prior to that,
back in 2003 as the Mayor had explained, the City was trying to reduce the amount of sick leave that
employees could cash out upon retirement or death. On other issues | think | have explained to you my
feeling about sick leave is that it is designed to allow employees to take time off when they are sick and to
be continued to be paid so that they and their families do not suffer financially because of their illness and |
fully support that.
