Subcommittee approves temporary remote-work permission for council staff during August recess
Summary
The personnel subcommittee approved a motion permitting council staff to work fully remote during the August recess (July 29–August 25) provided each staffer has prior approval from their respective council member. The motion carried; the transcript records at least one member voiced opposition.
The New Castle County personnel subcommittee voted July 21 to allow council staff to work fully remote during the council’s August recess, with the condition that each staffer obtain prior approval from their council member.
Mr. Sheldon moved the measure, proposing the remote-work period run from July 29 through August 25. Councilman Smiley asked whether the permission would be subject to each district council member’s approval for their staff; Mr. Sheldon confirmed that was the intent and the motion was clarified accordingly.
The motion was seconded and the subcommittee voted to approve it. The recorded transcript indicates at least one member registered opposition; however, the meeting record does not include a clear roll-call tally in the portions of the transcript provided.
After the vote the committee moved to adjourn, concluding the session.
