Safety Plan

President Gnage reported that a Safety Plan is being developed and she would encourage Planning Council and others to review the Plan and make suggestions on things that should be included such as disaster preparedness and pandemic preparedness plans.

Workplace Code of Conduct

President Gnage asked Council members to review a “Workplace Code of Conduct” and provide her with input.  She will develop the final document to be included in the Answer Book but not as a policy.   President Gnage also noted that the Answer Book needs to be reorganized into sections to differentiate between policy and other items. Planning Council also agreed that all handbooks will be included in the Answer Book. 

With no further business to be discussed, the meeting adjourned.
