the City of Crystal Lake as indicated in article histories. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
[Adopted as amended 5-17-2005 by Ord. No. 5938 (Art. II, Ch. IV, Section B, of the 1993 Code)]
The salary of the City Manager shall be established
on an annual basis, as specified by the Mayor and City Council in
the annual Appropriation and Budget Ordinance of the City. The City
Manager shall have a performance review annually by the Mayor and
City Council to be completed during the last two weeks in April of
each year. This requirement does not preclude the Mayor and City Council
from conducting City Manager performance reviews at any other time
the Mayor and City Council deems appropriate.
Salaries for all other employees of the City
which are not determined by ordinance of the City or by other provision
of this Code shall be determined by the Salary Ordinance of the City.
The City Manager shall have the right to assign
pay ranges and steps and to amend the salaries of all employees during
the fiscal year, provided that such amendments are in accordance with
the Salary Ordinance of the City, and further provided that sufficient
funds are available to cover such amendments.
[Added 11-21-2023 by Ord. No. 7977]
The City shall hereby provide every employee (whether full time,
part time, or seasonal) not less than two hours of paid time off annually.
To the extent that the City establishes from time to time personnel
policies extending a greater amount of paid leave, the amount of paid
leave set forth in such policies shall apply to employees in accordance
with the conditions and limitations of such policies. To the extent
that a collective bargaining agreement sets forth standards different
than the personnel policies established by the City, the terms of
the collective bargaining agreement shall control to the extent permitted
by law. Any paid time off shall be administered in accordance with
the conditions and limitations of such personnel policies or (where
applicable) collective bargaining agreements.
