Board reviews draft uniform policy and defers action pending legal and union review
Summary
Board members reviewed a draft uniform issuance policy drawn from quartermaster guidance, discussed that the IGA may authorize ETSB payment, and agreed to send the draft to attorneys and the union for review; action was deferred to the next meeting.
A board member presented a draft uniform issuance policy—largely copied from quartermaster material—and asked members to review it for possible inclusion in the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) or related documents.
The presenter noted language in the IGA indicating the ETSB may have authority to pay for uniform issuance. Members discussed steps for legal review: the presenter and another member suggested sending the draft to Attorney Jerusick for review, and staff said the TCO contract has expired and that the contract piece will need to be addressed while drafting changes.
One committee member suggested negotiating a side-letter with the union to resolve uniform issuance separately from the larger contract negotiations. The board agreed to keep the item on the agenda for one more month to allow attorney review and further input; no formal policy was adopted at the meeting.
The chair closed the discussion and the meeting moved to adjournment.
