Initiator

Human Resources Department

Recommendation

Approve an ordinance amending ?16B-13-2 of the Columbus Code to delete the word \n \n ?address? from the listing of employee information available for public \n \n inspection.

Approval

Approved

Background

?16B-13-2 of the Columbus Code was created by Ordinance 71-213, Ch. 13, ? 2 on

August 17, 1971 and authorized public inspection of the ?name, address, class

title and salary, and eligible lists? of employees. This ordinance was adopted

at a safer time in our history when stalking, harassment and hate crime was

almost unknown in our community. Today these are very legitimate issues of

concern and we do not believe that it remains appropriate or prudent to release

this personal information on our employees.

Analysis

This ordinance addresses a concern for the security of our employees.

Financial Considerations

There is no cost associated with implementation of this ordinance.
