2.22.030 Duties of committee.
(1) The committee shall meet at least once a month to review suggestions. The committee may select from suggestions deposited in the suggestion box the previous month suggestions which, in the committee’s opinion, would be of such significant benefit to the county as to warrant an award. The committee may present any suggestion to any other county official or department for review and comment. All determinations of the committee shall be final. The committee shall have the right to destroy or discard frivolous, obscene, libelous or abusive material. All remaining suggestions shall be filed for one year and discarded. Summaries of suggestions filed which the committee feels may have merit, whether the basis of an award or not, shall be mailed to all elected officials and department heads. The county shall have the right to make such use of any suggestions as it deems appropriate.
(2) The following factors shall be considered in determining eligibility of a suggestion for an award:
(a) Does the suggestion provide an extension or improvement in public service at reasonable or reduced cost to the county?
(b) Does it eliminate or reduce county expenditures without substantially impairing service?
(c) Does it provide for increased safety or diminished risk to the county or its employees? (Added by Ord. 81-096, Oct. 2, 1981).
