hereby deleted in its entirety and is replaced with the following language in its stead:
"Section 2.4.2 Prohibited Conduct
"Workplace violence" includes any behavior or conduct on City premises, which is
sufficiently severe, offensive, or intimidating to cause an individual to reasonably fear for his or
her personal safety or the safety of co-workers and/or property. It includes, but is not limited to:
a. Any physical behavior, or threat of physical behavior, which involves
aggressive contact with any person, including pushing, hitting, fighting,
throwing objects or otherwise intentionally injuring another person or
attempting to injure another person;
b. Any physical behavior, or threat of physical behavior, that would place a
reasonable person in fear of receiving imminent physical injury or aggressive
physical contact of the sort discussed above; or
C. Any act of vandalism or other intentional damage or destruction of City
property.
No employee or third party is permitted to bring weapons or firearms onto City property
(including City vehicles), except for authorized law enforcement personnel and individuals in
accordance with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, which allows individuals with valid
concealed carry permits to possess a gun in limited circumstances in their vehicle in City parking
lots. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to provide greater authority to possess weapons on
City property than is permitted by law."
