Background:
The Employee Work 2021 team compromised of 12 BoCC employees have been meeting for several months working on plans for how we will update how we work going forward. The Covid 19 Pandemic has led us to explore new ways to be productive while also keeping employees and citizens safe.

We want to create a formal work structure that accommodates our new/changed way to work going forward.
