Mr. Silva stated that he would offer this up in case anyone has a problem <br />with it. <br />Ms. Noda stated that while she will consult with her clients about <br />Mr. Silva recusing himself, she will also check with her witnesses for other <br />available Mondays in August for a hearing date, in addition to Fridays, as a <br />quorum may be more of a concern now. <br />4) Mr. Takahashi reported on furloughs. They finally have an <br />agreement with the United Public Workers for zero up to 13 days of furlough for <br />the remainder of this fiscal year which ends on June 30, 2010, and from zero up <br />to 24 days of furlough from July 1, 2010 for the following fiscal year ending <br />June 30, 2011. Indications are that the counties will furlough the 24 days for the <br />following fiscal year. Mr. Takahashi is surveying the departments right now <br />and asking for furlough plans and how to implement these furloughs come <br />July 1. The Mayor's preference right now is everybody gets furloughed and the <br />County shuts down on designated days, hopefully on the same day as the State. <br />If a department's operations won't allow for a shut down, such as Police <br />Dispatch, they are asking them to come up with a plan on how they're going to <br />do their furlough so that they can consult the unions on that. Right now, they're <br />in the process of having the departments look at their operations, and they are <br />supposed to submit any furlough plans to Mr. Takahashi by the end of this <br />month. <br />5) Chair Robinson commented that in looking at the reports of <br />accidents in the activity report, there was one incident where a police officer's <br />subsidized vehicle was being driven by someone else, whom he assumes was the <br />officer's family member that was involved in an accident. He asked why that <br />was reported in the activity report if a police officer's subsidized vehicle isn't in <br />essence considered a County vehicle. <br />Mr. Takahashi stated that he would look into it and report back to the <br />Board. <br />Chair Robinson stated that a lot of the reported accidents seem to be with <br />Parks and Recreation and wondered whether it's just from the use of hand tools <br />and maintenance. <br />Mr. Takahashi noted that like the Police and Fire accidents, he believes it <br />comes in trends. <br />
