RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
Adopt Resolution No. OC SAN 22-XX entitled: "A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District amending the Board of Directors Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual providing for classification, compensation, and other terms, conditions, policies, and procedures governing employment of District employees to include the addition of Policy No. 6.6, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and Amending Resolution No. OCSD 18-18".
body
BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District's (OC San) Board of Directors Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual (Policies) contains the terms, conditions, rules, and regulations of employment which are consolidated into one reference document. The Policies are reviewed periodically and updated as required; and the last comprehensive update to the Policies was completed in 2018.
Staff is proposing the addition of Policy No. 6.6, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, a new policy to establish and clarify OC San's commitment to being an inclusive organization. Recently, OC San updated its Core Values, which now include "Integrity, Inclusion, Honesty, and Respect." With the addition of this policy, we want employees to understand what the expectations are related to the new Core Value, as well as the existing laws and policies that are relative to the new Diversity policy.
OC San offers Diversity training on a biennial basis and has done so for several years. The training will be updated for this year, incorporating the new Core Values into the curriculum, in addition to the content of the new Diversity policy.
In accordance with Resolution No. OCSD 18-18, revisions to the Policies require Board approval.
