The Gilpin County Commissioners approved a four-day, ten-hour work week for some County departments during a regular meeting at 11 a.m. on November 15, 2022. The Board also approved a supplemental budget amendment and the employee handbook
County Manager Ray Rears introduced a resolution approving a trial period for a standardized 4/10 schedule for select departments. He said 89 percent of staff were in favor of the change.
According to the resolution, a staff survey conducted by the Human Resources Department asked how the County could provide a better work/life balance. The most popular response to this question was the implementation of a 4/10 schedule, with 51.9% of employees identifying it as the best option. There is also significant support for a 4/10 schedule among County department heads.
The 4/10 schedule would improve access for the public through extended hours. Pursuant to this effort, staff has recommended the County move to a 4/10 schedule. Rears requested that the Commissioners approve a trial period for a 4-day work week starting on December 12, 2022, and running until June 2, 2023. The Board approved the trial period.
The Board also approved Supplemental Appropriations to the 2022 Budget presented by Lorna Plamondon, Interim Director of Finance. This is done annually, and public notices have been posted.
Robert Gutierrez, Director of Community Development, introduced a Boundary Line Adjustment for 15953 Highway 119 and 351 Hacker Drive. Two applicants have applied for the BLA,
Peter Morgan is the owner of lots 27, 26 and 25 lot lines and lot 25. These will not be changing. The owner of lot 31a has agreed to move the boundary line several feet to the southwest. Two cabins and a septic system are encroaching on 31a, so the adjustment would get those encroachments off his property.
Morgan said this happened before he was born and he is just cleaning things up. He will pay the owner $1,000 for 0.2 acre. The Board approved the BLA.
The Board also approved amendments to the employee handbook.
The next regular meeting will be on December 6, 2022. For more information, go to https://gilpincounty.colorado. gov/public-meetings/board-of-countycommissioners bocc-meetings.
