County staff presented a narrowly scoped amendment to policy 04/2001 to accommodate operational needs in several departments. Staff explained the sheriff, coroner and EMS departments had shift patterns and scheduling considerations that make the AOD digital timekeeping system impractical, and that election-registration temporary workers should be included in the allowance for paper time sheets during election periods.

After clarifying language to explicitly include election registration processing, a commissioner moved to adopt the revised policy; the motion was seconded and the board approved the amendment by voice vote (recorded 3-0). The treasurer and HR were instructed to update the written policy document and ensure departments understand reporting expectations and overtime accounting.

The board emphasized that adopting paper time sheets is an accommodation, not a general rollback of the county’s timekeeping system, and staff will monitor overtime and comp-time accruals consistent with existing policy.
