Personnel and Administration Committee - November 12, 2026

The City of St. Louis Personnel and Administration Committee met on November 12, 2026, and reviewed a proposed update to the Board of Aldermen employee handbook. The discussion covered employee training periods, remote work, discipline and appeals, compensation and benefits, outside employment, leave and time-off procedures, accommodations, social media, and political activity. Members requested revisions, including clarifying secondary-employment rules and addressing leave tracking. The handbook was not adopted; the director will circulate an updated draft, seek further feedback—including from staff and union representatives—and return it to the committee, with a goal of completing the process before the election recess. Members also supported discussing the draft with the full Board before final adoption and providing related training. The committee approved the prior meeting minutes and adjourned. No procurement, contract awards, or spending decisions were identified.
