At the commissioners’ work session on Wednesday, the board was notified of several resolutions to be voted on at the May 26 public meeting. Of the 29 total resolutions to be voted on, three of them are updates to human resources policies.

One of those policy updates involves the salary rates for those on parental leave. Solicitor Garen Fedeles spoke about the details: “Any parent who goes on parental leave–this is for the birth or adoption of a child–the county would pay that employee 80% of their salary for the first 20 days, and 50% of their salary for an additional 20 days.”

Fedeles specified that this applies to both mothers and fathers who are full-time employees of the county, although there is a policy for part-time employees as well. The resolutions will be voted on at the public meeting at 10:00 AM on Thursday morning.

Commissioner Chairman Dan Camp participated in the work session by phone feed for undisclosed reasons. The next work session is scheduled for June 1 at 10:00 AM.
