(Councilpersons Walker and Gay were away from the Council table.) Ayes: Councilpersons Lloyd, Matuszak, Waters, Pfeiffer, Skelton, Westergren and Mayor Malone Nays: None 13. Council considered approving a change to the City's personnel policies. The City Manager explained to Council that under the present policies, an employee was not covered under Texas Municipal Retirement System until 90 days after he was hired. The primary problem with this is that an employee draws a salary for 90 days, then when he becomes covered by TMRS has a 7~ deduction from his salary. Staff is recommending that the 90 day waiting be removed from the personnel policies and that the employee be put under TMRS from the first day of employment. Motion was made by Councilperson Westergren to approve the personnel policy change to have new e~ployees covered under l:he_Texas Municipal Retirement System from their first day of employment.
