Board delays decision on remote-work policy amid transparency, hiring concerns

County staff introduced a draft "bridal and remote work" policy (transcribed wording) that seeks to limit out-of-state remote employees and to require a detailed review and approval process for any exceptions. The staff presenter, introduced in the meeting as Cheryl, said the county lacks in-house legal expertise to manage out-of-state remote hires and recommended grandfathering two current employees while not broadly allowing out-of-state remote work.
