Commissioners review juvenile detention proposal and employee handbook changes
Summary
Staff presented a Twin Falls juvenile detention block‑day proposal estimating Jerome County's share at $171,550 for 730 days next year. HR reviewed employee handbook PTO accrual and overtime payout changes, which will require prosecutor and HR consultant review before formal approval.
Brent Reinke presented a proposal from the Twin Falls Juvenile Detention Center that would shift Jerome County to a block‑day payment model to aid budgeting; the proposal estimated Jerome County’s cost at $171,550 for 730 days for the coming year. Commissioners discussed the proposal’s budgeting benefits but no formal action was recorded in the minutes.
Human Resources representative Jesse Vallez reviewed updates to the county employee handbook, focusing on PTO accrual changes, a new overtime payout policy, and an updated introduction page. She requested that commissioners provide a welcome statement to include in the handbook. Vallez said the handbook needs final review from the county prosecutor and an HR consultant before it can be presented for board approval.
