Am I allowed time off to attend the information meetings and vote?

The City does not provide time off for employees to attend the information meetings, but is flexible in allowing employees time to vote on June 29.  Please remember to let your supervisor know about your intentions to go and vote.  You should also try to incorporate your time away into break periods, or where feasible, vote either before, or after your regular workday.  Your cooperation to the above is greatly appreciated.
