Approval of Minutes

presented. The motion carried by unanimous vote.
II. 16-0513 CIRMA Handbook Review
The subcommittee discussed some of the edits they would like to make. One suggestion from
Ms. Hunter is to edit the section on work attire. The current draft specifically states that
sleeves must be worn at all times and her suggestion is to edit that to make it more fair to
everyone. Ms. Link-Mullison suggested looking at the Health Departments policy that is a more
general policy that refers to dress as being appropriate and professional attire based on an
employee's position. Additoinally, Ms. Link-Mullison would like the subcommittee to specifically
exclude the Jackson County Health Department from being bound by this policy. She went on
to explain that the Health Department has some specific policies that apply only to them and
that their current policy is updated often to include new regulations and best practices. The
subcommittee agreed and asked the Committee Coordinator to add in Jackson County Health
Department to the section at the beginning that already states that this policy only applies to
County Board Supervised staff. Mr. Brenner stated that he has made some notes with things
for the committee to consider when making their revision of the policy. He will forward those
to the Committee Coordinator to put in the next draft. Additionally, Mr. Brenner mentioned
that consideration should be given to the Ambulance and Highway departments since they ar e
under County Board control but both departments already have their own policies that have
some sections that specifically apply to their departments. The Committee Coordinator will
email out the current draft to all departments requesting any suggested changes be sent by July
22nd and then the edited draft will be sent to Ms. Rogers at CIRMA by July 28th.
