DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Chief Administrative Office recommending the Board repeal Board of Supervisors
Policy A-12, Employee Suggestion Award Program.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On November 19, 1991, the Board of Supervisors adopted A-12, Employee Suggestion Award Program, to encourage employee participation in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their job and County operations, motivate employees toward problem solving, and to communicate the high value County management places on constructive ideas through recognition and reward.
As part of Objective 2.2 of the Good Governance Goal in the Board-approved Strategic Plan, policies are undergoing review and update.
Policy A-12 has not recently been used by County Departments, and possibly never has been implemented as intended. Because of this, the Chief Administrative Officer requested review by department heads and a determination of whether the
policy should be recommended for repeal. There was agreement among department heads that this
policy has not been used and the Chief Administrative Officer should move forward with a recommendation to the Board to repeal the
policy.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose to reject the recommendation and retain the
policy as written, or make changes to the
policy.
