Update for March 30

Message from Helen Robbins-Meyer, Chief Administrative Officer

A large part of our workforce is now teleworking, both to practice social distancing and to accommodate the family care needs brought on by the various closures.

For some of you performing essential work, telework is not possible. If you wind up sick or have family care needs of some kind, the County is offering new forms of leave as a result of the federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act. These are temporary, starting April 1 and running through the end of the year. Here are more details. The info is also posted on InSite.

We realize the shutdown orders are creating enormous challenges for many families. I greatly appreciate everyone’s flexibility. We are committed to working with all of you to help you through this time while still meeting our customers’ needs as best we can.

As always, stay well and take care of yourselves!
