SUBJECT` Revisions to Resolution 88/63
Paid Time Off for Elected County Officials
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Considering the austere fiscal times in which the County finds itself, abolish Resolution 88/63
which provides for paid time off for elected County officials.
2. Encourage department heads to be sensitive to requests by elected or appointed officials to
take their own time off, non-County compensated or vacation time, to perform public service
as required by their office, when such use would not unnecessarily inconvenience
departmental activities.
BACKGROUND
At the June 28, 1994, meeting of the Board of Supervisors,you referred the resolution regarding paid
time off for elected County officials to my office for review. My office has reviewed this in
conjunction with the County Counsel's office; and considering the austere fiscal circumstances in
which the County now finds itself, it seems appropriate to cancel the policy that has allowed elected
officials to take paid time off to handle non-County business even though it was intended to benefit
the public in other forums.
This order takes into account the Board's current policy of encouraging employees to take unpaid
time off if it does not cause undue hardship to the continuing operations of the department. When
this policy is applied to individuals who currently hold elected or appointed public offices, then
department heads should be encouraged to be sensitive to these requests. If requests for unpaid leave
were granted, this could benefit the County financially by creating salary savings.
