Milton eases path for personnel policy changes

Milton has switched how it enacts measures relating to personnel policies.

Officials passed a measure this week moving personnel policies from the city code, where any changes require two votes of the City Council. Under the new system, personnel policies are in the form of a resolution, and changes can be implemented by the city manager with a single vote of the City Council.

The Council also passed a measure doing the exact opposite with the 75-cent fee it charges for each prepaid wireless phone sale. That fee is now part of the city code.
