1) 2) 3) 4) Commission Minutes--February 3, 1997 1580 COMMUNICATION/EMPLOYEE RELATIONS, Recommendations approved MOTION, passed Mr. Koenig moved and Mrs. Quick seconded to approve the County Commission Chairman's Communication/Employee Relations Plan recommendations as follows: On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. The commission will establish two reserved parking spots at the courthouse and two reserved parking spots at the annex building. These parking spots will be awarded to county employees to use for one month at a time. The two reserved spots at the courthouse will be located in the parking lot on the north side of the jail and will be numbered as "2" and "3" in the parking lot. The reserved spots at the annex will be set up in the spring when signs can be installed. Employees will be notified when we are ready to implement the program and the sign-up procedure for participating in the lottery. The commission will also authorize a "casual day" which will be in addition to the casual days currently offered by the United Way program. Currently, an employee who donates $5 per month to the United Way receives a "casual day" button for the first and third Fridays of each month. The commission "casual day" will be set for the last Friday of each month. The commission will expand the personnel overview committee to include three county employees. Employees are encouraged to sign up in the personnel office. Selection to the committee will be made by a lottery drawing for a one-year appointment. No department, however, will be represented by more than one employee. All departments shall have an orientation, or walk-through, for their department with all five commissioners being invited at least one time annually, and more if requested by the department. In addition, each portfolio commissioner will make arrangements to visit each department 2-4 times per year as outlined in our commission work plans; and during at least one of the visits, meet with staff as well.
