During the meeting, the commissioners will hear a presentation about the Sweewater Events Complex’s canceled events and loss of revenue due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic. Larry Lloyd, Sweetwater Events Complex executive director will be leading the presentation.

Gary McLean, Sweewater County Human Resources Director, will present a discussion of COVID-19 Emergency Operations Center compensation, as several county employees have been assigned to serve on the EOC. Exempt staff are ineligible to claim overtime, so McLean will present a few options to compensate those employees for their work on the EOC.

The options include paying the employees a bonus after the crisis, changing the status of exempt employees to non-exempt, or give the employees additional leave following the crisis.

The commissioners will also have a strategic planning discussion at the end of the regular meeting.

They will meet in executive discussion for legal and personnel matters.
