Summary of Request:

The Executive Office and the Human Resources Department are requesting changes to emergency leave        donation and emergency vacation cash-out provisions to assist the Mendocino County employees who are victims of the Redwood Complex Fire.  Staff is also recommending that employees which provide mutual aid as a result of the Redwood Complex Fire, and that are eligible for flexible time off (FTO), be allowed to temporarily accrue up to 120 hours of FTO.   This is a one-time program to assist fellow employees and victims of the Redwood Complex Fire in dealing with the loss of their homes, property and community.  Terms of the Sideletter of Agreement are subject to the meet and confer process.  Board approval would be contingent upon approval by each bargaining unit.  Attached is the Sideletter of Agreement (attachment A).
