BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: January 7, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Kay Godwin
SUBJECT: HR Policy Changes - Communications
DEPARTMENT: Human Resources
BCC DISTRICT:
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request Board approval of changes to the Communications Policy
within the Human Resources Policy Manual.
BACKGROUND: As technology continually changes, the policies for cellular and mobile
devices have been updated. Further, new policies are introduced addressing ITunes and domain
registration.
Changes to the cell phone policy provide a streamlined solution for employee reimbursement of
personal calls. Employees will authorize a flat-rate payroll deduction to cover personal calls to
or from a county cell phone. Standardized guidelines are also proposed for issue and use of cell
phones and other mobile devices.
The development of these policies and procedures has been a collaborative effort over the past
several months between county and finance department representatives, and the proposed
policies have been vetted through department directors and the County Administrator. Policy
changes are highlighted for quick identification in the attached document. Additions are
underlined and deletions are in strikeout format.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the Board approve the proposed changes to the
Communications policy within the Human Resources Policy Manual.

APPROVED BY:
Ernie Padgett, County Administrator
