That the Board approve the revision to the Overtime Pay and Compensatory Time in Lieu of Overtime Pay Policy, Section II, C.4., of the Board of County Commissioners' Policy Manual, to increase the maximum number of accumulated hours of compensatory leave. Revisions to F.6, Compensatory Leave Balances section in the Policy are the following:

A. Remove “80 hours for those eligible employees who engage in public safety, emergency response, or seasonal activities, and 40 hours for all other eligible employees”; and

B. Add “240 hours for all eligible employees.”
