APPROVE CONSENT ITEMS # 1-22

Consent Items:              #6 - Pulled for discussion.  Supervisor Gutierrez explained that the issue he has with this item is that the employee traveling is attending an apparent worthy event that is beneficial to the county.  If the event is beneficial to the county, then the county should pay for the trip.  However, the employee is paying his own way to the event.  Supervisor Gutierrez said that he would like to see the department come up with a policy or see the County Administrator provide the Board with any policy direction that the county has dealing with employees going to these events that benefit the county.  Bill Mitchell, Director of Public Health Services, stated that he could come up with a written policy addressing this matter.  County Administrator Manuel Lopez stated that rather than having individual departments coming up with different criteria, he will work with a group of department heads and come back to the Board with recommendations for the Board to consider.  Supervisor Ornellas pointed  out that there may be some underlying factors why the employee is paying for the trip.
