POLICY FOR SNOW DAYS FOR COUNTY OFFICES: Chairman Hedrick asked Mr. Furches to address the policy regarding employees' compensation for days of snow when there may be a termination of a full work day, and what departments may or may not be included in whatever compensatory action that might be in line. Mr. Furches said the staff would be given the time that was not worked on Thursday afternoon and Friday ((January 14 and 15). For those that did work they were paid and those that did not work were also paid. The emergency departments (maintenance, garage, EMS, Sheriff, EOC, fire marshal, landfill) were required to work as a normal work day. No additional compensation will be given for those who did work. The standard policy for the county is that the County works when it snows. Last year (1987) was the first time the offices closed for bad weather. The big problem is parking lot, not getting to work. The policy says county employees will work. Commissioner Stewart inquired if there is a snow removal policy, an emergency plan set up in case it snows that everybody who is supposed to clear snow knows what is required of them.Mr. Furches said the responsibility is the maintenance department's. There is no plan. Commissioner Stewart said there should be a plan. Chairman Hedrick requested that the maintenance supervisor be contacted and make some sort of arrangement with landfill and;or the City of Statesville. C.)nmissioner Stewart inquired about contracting with some private people who move snow.
