County employee status. Prior to March 1, Personnel will have a benefits orientation session with employees to enroll them in the County benefits plans and a special session of the new employee orientation program to acquaint them in more detail with County personnel policies. As a result of reviews to date, it is proposed that the Board approve the following exceptions to the Orange County Personnel Ordinance for the Library employees who become Orange County employees as of March 1, 1993 . 1. Permit such employees to transfer any accumulated unused annual leave hours to Orange County for use as Vacation Leave. (The Personnel Ordinance permits transfer of accumulated, unused Sick Leave. ) 2 . Provide that such employees receive credit for service as a permanent Hyconeechee Regional Library employee toward the following Orange County benefits: - Vacation Leave earning - Longevity Pay - Service Awards These exceptions are requested in view of the Library' s relationship with the County as, in effect, an agent for the County and are consistent with the handling applied in other instances where such an organization has become a County department. This handling will facilitate the transition for the employees and recognize that the circumstances are different than those normally applicable to a new employee. For information, several additional activities related to the Library becoming a County department are in progress and will be brought to the Board at later meetings. These include: -A classification and pay study now in progress of the 12 permanent Library positions. It is planned to present the study results to the Board for action at its February 1, 1993 meeting. -Development of a proposed budget for the Library. Budget staff also plans to present this at the February 1, 1993 meeting.
