The Boonville City Council discussed a bill to amend the personnel manual for city employees during a recent meeting.

City Administrator Kate Fjell stated that the changes included the probationary period for new employees and winter break leave for all employees.

Fjell stated the amendments to the manual also included references to marijuana use due to the passage of Missouri Amendment Three in November. Due to receiving federal funds, the city has to remain a drug free work place. City employees cannot test positive for marijuana, whether recreational or with a medical marijuana card.

The council approved the bill amending the personnel manual.
