ISSUE: Board of Director's authorization is required for a medical leave of absence
without pay in excess of 30 days.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize extension of medical leave of absence without pay for

the District cannot lawfully terminate Mr. Bitle's medical leave of absence until it is
determined whether or not he can return to work.

work related illness since January 31, 2012. Mr. Bitle has not yet been released to
return to work.

Directors' authorization to extend this authorization is required.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize an extension of medical leave of
absence without pay for Shawn Bitle, Maintenance Crew Member II through
February 28, 2014.
