<br />MR. HISASHIMA: Being the director, do you know if there is a County-wide policy on conflict of interest? Not the Ethics Code—policy for every employee to review and read prior to their starting their employment with the County. Does the County have that in place, all written documents? <br /> <br />MS. CRAWFORD: Well, this— <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: --I’ll give you a simple one. Don’t look at this one. Does the County have a policy on dress code? How they can dress, or what they cannot dress, and what is the consequences? <br /> <br />MS. CRAWFORD: No, the County does not. Departments—those, if they’re set, are set at a departmental level, or division. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: Yeah, but the department is the County. Every employee is a County employee. Again, an example. What union represents you? (to Ms. Veincent) <br /> <br />MS. VEINCENT: HGEA. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: What unit? <br /> <br />MS. VEINCENT: Thirteen. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: Because I reviewed the contracts of 13 and 3. There are a lot of things in that contract, in my feeling, that it is not being done by the County. I feel that. And I’ve asked people about why. And this is not the fault of the people in the County. It’s just because the way it happens, new people comes in, they don’t look at the employees’ contracts and review it. I give you example. On this policy, did you consult with the union? <br /> <br />MS. CRAWFORD: Yes, we did. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: How many days? <br /> <br />MS. CRAWFORD: One moment. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: No, no, roughly. <br /> <br />MS. CRAWFORD: Approximately three weeks for them to take it to—and they did take it to the employees within the division. <br /> <br />MR. HISASHIMA: Okay. Then I saw your sign-in sheet for the acceptance of the policy, yeah, for each employee. What is your—not legal right—but what is your responsibility
