BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The County Policy Manual documents policy direction from the Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors (collectively Board) to departments and Board-governed entities on a broad array of topics.
The proposed Policy 07-26 establishes a consistent process for the review, investigation, and appropriate escalation of workplace or County-related complaints involving County elected officials. The policy delegates final decision-making authority to the Director of Human Resources, following required consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and County Counsel; requires sensitive information to be shared only on a need-to-know basis; and provides for Board consideration of serious, substantiated matters when warranted.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
