Considering trying to get a city policy modified to allow CC

I am a city employee and CHL holder. I am in the beginning stages of researching how to go about trying to get the city policy changed to allow employees with a CHL to carry while at work. I know very little about the workings of city government and the process behind something like this. Hoping to get some tips from you guys on who to talk to, how to present evidence and reasoning, helpful links, or anything else!

So far I have found that the city of The Colony (north of dallas) considered this back in February of this year.

Here is how the current policy reads
Firearms and Lethal Weapons, Possession of.
Except for employees commissioned by the City of Farmers Branch as police/peace officers, City employees are prohibited from possessing firearms while on duty or in any City building or City vehicle, regardless of whether the employee possesses a Texas handgun license. However, employees with a valid handgun license may retain the licensed handgun in their personal vehicle parked on City property during their duty hours, or before reporting to or after departing from duty. (Terms used are as defined in Chapter 46 of the Texas Penal Code.)
