Health Department's three-day closure for conference prompts morale concerns; county clarifies schedule
Summary
Committee members raised morale concerns after the commission-approved Health Department closure for a March 30'April 1 conference; County Administrator Darin Myers outlined the itinerary and said preconference details should have been included in the commission agenda.
Amanda Shannon raised employee morale concerns stemming from the commission's approval of a three-day Health Department closure for a conference that includes a 1.5-day preconference session.
County Administrator Darin Myers followed up with specifics: the Health Department will be closed March 30, 31 and April 1. A preconference session is scheduled Monday from 1:00 to 4:30 P.M.; staff will report to work until 9:00 A.M. on Monday, travel to Wichita, check into the hotel and have lunch before the session, and return home Wednesday after the conference. Normal office hours will resume Thursday. Myers noted that the preconference information should have been included on the commission agenda to prevent misunderstanding about the length of the office closure.
The committee recorded the concern and the clarified schedule; no formal action was taken.
