JEROME COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Tuesday, October 28, 2025
PRESENT: Ben Crouch, Chairman
                   Charles Howell, Vice Chairman
       Art Watkins, Commissioner
       Ryan Treanor, Deputy Clerk
Meeting convened at 9:02 am.
Employee Handbook and Policies Review
Jesse Vallez, Gary Taylor, George Oppedyk, Marisela Aguirre, and Mike Seib were present.
Jesse stated that many of the items in the handbook are based on state or federal laws. She wants 
to focus on the paid time off (PTO) policies. There needs to be a way to keep PTO times down 
but to not totally remove the build up of this time. This can also be resolved by having time 
accrue and have everyone move to a 40 hour week, so everyone is accruing at the same rate. She 
said that the county can’t automatically roll over the left over time into sick leave, but that it 
must be initiated by the employee. She wants to see a cap placed on PTO so that people can’t 
accrue so much time, and that it will be lost if not used instead of being paid out.
Meeting adjourned at 10:14 am.
