ISSUE: Board 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 Mike
Klubben, Construction Equipment Operator.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Currently, the District is only paying for Mr. Klubben's medical
and dental insurance, resulting in a monthly cost of $2,496.64.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: At this time, there are no other alternatives as
the District cannot lawfully terminate Mr. Klubben's medical leave of absence.
BACKGROUND: Mr. Klubben has been on an unpaid leave of absence since
March 13, 2014, and is anticipated to return to work on May 1, 2014.
Since this request exceeds the 30 working days that the General Manager and
Department Director may approve, Board of Directors' authorization is required.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: As this matter is considered routine and results in
a minimal financial impact, this matter was not reviewed by the Administration
Committee and it is being sent directly to the Board for authorization.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize medical leave of absence without pay
for Mike Klubben, Construction Equipment Operator, through May 1, 2014.
