Supervisors approve vacation carryovers; Rick Wood granted four months to use 80 hours

Benton County supervisors approved vacation carryover for two employees during the meeting. The board authorized carryover for "Grace," whose remaining balance was three hours, and for Rick Wood, whose carryover amounted to roughly 80 hours.

When the board discussed Rick Wood's balance, supervisors noted the amount equated to about two weeks and then referenced his anniversary date and typical vacation accruals. One supervisor moved to approve Rick Wood's carryover and to set a limit of four months within which he must use the time; the amended motion carried on a recorded voice vote.

The board did not set a specific timeline for Grace's three hours given the small amount. No additional personnel policy changes were adopted during the discussion; the action covered only the two requested carryovers.
