ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
Prior to the transition, the Board authorized several work policies that provided guidelines and procedures for agency-wide operations. The RTA has continued to revise and create such policies to ensure that they are consistent with best practices and comply with legal requirements.
end
DISCUSSION:
In February of 2021, the Board of Commissioners passed HC49 Creation of Policy, which describes the procedures for adopting and revising work policies. Section 2.0 of that policy mandates a uniform format for all policies and any policy revision that modifies the policy's intent or applicability must be approved by the Board under Section 2.3.2. The following policy changes are suggested:
RTA’s Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer has reviewed the policies pertaining to the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The changes are mainly changing Human Resources to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or adding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in some instances.
1. HC2 RTA Civil Rights Policy - clarified processes
2. HC4 RTA Equal Employment Opportunity Policy - clarified processes
3. HC5 RTA Gender Transition Policy
4. HC10 RTA Preventing Sexual Harassment
5. HC11 RTA Employee Training and Development Policy - clarification of mandatory training
6. HC18 RTA Ethics Policy
7. HC31 RTA Reasonable Accommodation Policy
8. HC43 Religious Accommodation Policy
9. HC47 RTA Whistleblower Protection Policy
10. HC38 Internal Complaint Process Policy - absorbed in HC4 Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Adoption of these new and amended policies will have no direct impact on RTA's expenditures or revenues.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon the Board of Commissioner’s approval, staff will promulgate these new and amended policies.
