1. Discussion of Policy HR-13, Leave Donation.
Erik Kropp gave a brief overview of the proposed policy. The unofficial policy
of the County was to allow this in cases of cancer or terminal diseases. There is
a provision in the policy that the employee donating the leave time cannot fall
below 80 hours in his or her own time bank. Dave Kanner added that the
person needing to take the leave should have an adequate amount of time built
up before the need arises.
Mr. Kropp said that Personnel puts out the request in these instances.
Commissioner Luke stated that the selling point for him is that the donor will
remain anonymous.
This item will be discussed further at Wednesday’s work session.
2. Economic Development Grant Request:
High Desert Museum – Oregon’s Forests – Commissioner Luke agreed to
grant $500. He suggested this be discussed on Wednesday when
