NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CIBOLO, TEXAS:
SECTION 1
The meeting at which this resolution was approved was in all things conducted in compliance with the
Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 551.
SECTION 2
The City of Cibolo Personnel Policies (the "Policy") is amended by adding the following:
1.4.12 Paid Parental Leave
The City of Cibolo (City) provides two (2) weeks of paid parental leave to full-time employees
following the birth of an employee's child or the placement of a child with an employee in connection
with adoption or foster care. This time is for parents to bond with their new child, adjust to their new
family situation, and balance their professional obligations.
Procedures
Approved paid parental leave must be taken immediately following the birth, adoption, or placement
of a child with the employee and must be used in one continuous period of leave. Any unused paid
parental leave will be forfeited upon return to work.
The employee will provide his or her supervisor and the Director of People & Performance with notice
of the request for leave at least 30 days prior to the proposed date of the leave (or if the leave was not
foreseeable, as soon as possible).
Employees wishing to use paid parental leave must complete the required Family and Medical Leave
Act ("FMLA") paperwork IAW Policy 1.0.03.
Paid parental leave will not impact other paid leave an employee has accrued, and the employee will
continue to accrue leave while on paid parental leave status.
Paid parental leave taken under this policy will run concurrently with leave under the FMLA; thus, any
leave taken under this policy that falls under the definition of circumstances qualifying for leave will
be counted toward the 12 weeks of available FMLA leave per a 12 -month period.
In no case will an employee receive more than two weeks of paid parental leave in a rolling 12 -month
period, regardless of whether more than one birth, adoption or foster care placement event occurs
within that 12 -month time frame.
If a City holiday occurs while the employee is on paid parental leave, such day will be charged to
holiday pay: however, such holiday pay will not extend the total paid parental leave entitlement.
