REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED FOR BOARD ACTION:

Ann E. Farrell
General Manager
ISSUE: Board of Directors' authorization is required for a medical leave of absence
without pay in excess of 30 days.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize medical leave of absence without pay for Shawn
Bitle, Maintenance Crew Member II.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Currently, the District is only paying for Mr. Bitle's medical
waiver of insurance resulting in a monthly cost of $200.00.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: At this time, there are no other alternatives as
the District cannot terminate Mr. Bitle's medical leave of absence until a determination
can be made regarding his application for disability retirement by the Contra Costa
County Employees' Retirement Association ( CCCERA).
BACKGROUND: Shawn Bitle has been on a medical leave of absence without pay for
a work related illness since January 31, 2012. The Board has not yet been asked to
authorize a medical leave of absence without pay.
Staff will be applying for disability retirement on behalf of Mr. Bitle and are requesting to
authorize and further extend his leave of absence without pay through December 17,
2012 so that the CCCERA has time to review the application and make a determination
regarding his eligibility for disability retirement.
Since this request exceeds the 30 working days that the General Manager and
Department Director may approve, Board of Directors' authorization is required.
This action was reviewed by the Human Resources Committee at its September 14,
2012 meeting.
