A~proval of Fiscal Year 2011-12 Personnel Ordinance Chanqes The Board considered approving amendments to the Orange County Personnel Ordinance Article V, Section 19.0, Living Wage and Article IV, Section 24.0, Furlough. Interim Human Resources Director Katherine Cathey said that the recommended action is to make two amendments to the Personnel Ordinance that corresponds to the actions taken for the Operating Budget. The first section relates to the living wage. The recommendation is to remove the rate from the Personnel Ordinance and reword it to read that the rate will be set by the Board of County Commissioners in the annual budget each year. The following section is the furlough section, which would allow the Board to declare mandatory furloughs in times of economic difficulties and allow the County Manager to continue the voluntary furlough program as a cost-saving measure. These changes require unanimous approval.
