R- 16 -97 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE DUPLICATE CITY OF COLTON REGARDING PROCEDURES FOR LIFTING A HIRING FREEZE IMPOSED BY ACTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL. WHEREAS, at various times in the past it has been necessary for the City Council to impose 'hiring freezes for a variety of reasons, including without limitation, economic considerations; and WHEREAS, in the past hiring freezes have sometimes been imposed by resolution and sometimes by minute order of the City Council, and WHEREAS, because of the urgency that is frequently attendant on a decision to impose a hiring freeze, and because such matters may not be formally enacted by resolution it is necessary to have an express policy with regard to the conditions under which a hiring freeze however it is enacted, may be lifted. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1: It is the policy of the City of Colton that whether a hiring frees is enacted by resolution or minute order of the City Council, the City Council may only rescind or lift the hiring freeze by specific resolution. SECTION 2: A resolution rescinding or lifting a hiring freeze must be specific as to the particular hiring freeze that has been imposed, and adoption of a general budget resolution authorizing the funding of new positions or the filling of existing vacancies shall not, in and of itself, be sufficient to lift a hiring freeze. PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 18`h day of February 1997. ATTEST: Carolina P. Barrera, City Clerk Karl E. Gaytan, Mayor
