Item Summary:
The City of Round Rock's Human Resources Policies and Procedures Manual is currently adopted via Ordinance G-00-
11-09-9131. The manual contains all policies and procedures governing employment related issues within the City of
Round Rock.The purpose of this manual is to provide employees with a comprehensive source of information on the
formal policies and procedures to be followed as an employee. The policies themselves are designed to create a
workplace that is efficient, united, responsive, and respectful.
The manual in no way constitutes a contract between the City and its employees or changes the at will nature of
employment with the City of Round Rock in any way. No manual can anticipate all circumstances that may arise, and
will likely be revised from time to time. The last official amendment to the manual was November 9, 2000. Being
that the general and final authority for human resources management rests with the City Manager, staff is
recommending the policy no longer be adopted by the City Council, but rather approved by the City Manager.
HR Director, Valerie Francois, and her staff have completed a much needed rewrite of the manual. It has been
reviewed by the Legal Department and all department directors and is ready to be implemented. If the Council
agrees with the City Manager approval, the most recent ordinance adopting the manual will need to be amended
with the following:
Sec.2-56. Employee personnel policies adept.

establish and amend the City's personnel policies and procedures. A copy of the current personnel policies and
procedures manual, as amended from time to time by the City Manager, shall be maintained in the office of the city
clerk.
