ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that an amendment to Rule 15, Section 15.9, of the Civil
Service Rules & Regulations, and the corresponding City Code Section 40-113, per the
attached Ordinance, be approved so that the provisions for Military Training Leave therein
would follow the Florida State Statutes, Section 115.07, as amended.
BACKGROUND
Due to amendments to the Florida Statutes enacted in 2010 by the Florida Legislature,
Florida Statute 115.07 was revised to allow for Military Training leave of up to 240 working
hours per annual period. Therefore, City Code, Sec. 40-113 and Civil Service Rules &
Regulations, Sec. 15.9(a) — Military Training Leave, must also be amended.
At the Civil Service Board meeting held October 1, 2013, following public hearing, the Board
unanimously approved a motion to amend the Civil Service Rules & Regulations to be
consistent with this Amendment.
Pursuant to Civil Service Rules & Regulations 18.1, it is now requested that the amendment
to Rule 15.9 of the Civil Service Rules & Regulations, and City Code, Sec. 40-113 be
approved by the City Commission to conform to the Florida State Statutes.
