J <br /> 1 <br /> Orange County <br /> Board of Commissioners <br /> Action Agenda Item Abstract <br /> Meeting Date: September 2, 1997 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 9-C. <br /> Subject: Personnel Ordinance Revision - Limitation on Employment of Relatives <br /> Department: Personnel Public Hearing: Yes No X <br /> Budget Amendment <br /> Needed: Yes No X <br /> Attachment(s): Information Contact: <br /> 1- Draft Revision to Article II, Section 4.0, Elaine Holmes, Personnel Director <br /> Limitation on Employment of Relatives Extension 2550, <br /> 2- Current Article II, Section 4.0 Telephone Number: <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Purpose: To consider amending the Orange County Personnel Ordinance <br /> to update and clarify the limitations on the employment of <br /> relatives. <br /> Background: The current Personnel Ordinance limits the employment of <br /> relatives. The draft revision continues those same limits on the <br /> employment of relatives. It has been revised to say more clearly <br /> what those limits are and how they are applied. Attachment 1 is <br /> the draft revision and Attachment 2 is the current Ordinance <br /> section. <br /> Specifically, the draft revision: <br /> • Defines clearly the relatives and relationships covered. <br /> Currently the Ordinance does not specifically cover <br /> sister/brother, aunt/uncle or niece/nephew although such <br /> employment has not been permitted. Also a general <br /> provision has been added to cover any relationship which <br /> has that degree of closeness that a problem might be <br /> created in the work unit. <br />
