factual inaccuracies, ask for County staff action or to ask that a matter be listed on a future agenda. The Commission may do this either during the

Recommendation to adopt a Comprehensive Employee Support Plan to assist Washoe  
County employees by providing payment for legal and personal services by outside  
third-party organizations in situations where employees are unfairly publicly attacked,  
harassed, or disparaged by members of the public or by political organizations as  
determined on a case-by-case basis by the Washoe County Manager with input from the  
Washoe County Workplace Violence Committee. The objective of the program would be  
to provide employees support against attacks, harassment, or disparagement that occur  
or originate outside of the workplace but that relate in some significant degree to the role  
of the subject employees as employees of the county. As such, situations where this  
program would be utilized are those that would fall outside the scope of representation  
by the District Attorney’s Office or other statutorily or otherwise designated legal counsel,  
or the scope of services typically provided in-house by county departments. Possible  
outside organizations to be hired under this program include but are not limited to law  
firms and public relations organizations. If approved, authorize the Manager to make  
expenditures not to exceed $150,000 (aggregate) per fiscal year, with any expenditures  
above that amount requiring specific approval by the Board of County Commissioners.  
And if adopted, direct the Manager’s Office to work with HR, the DA’s Office, and other
