Meeting: Safety and Working Conditions Study Committee Date: 2026-05-05 Agenda Item: Excessive Cold/Heat Events discussion was held: Charles Tubbs commented that Emergency Management is in the process of updating the Emergency Response Handbook. When Dudek asked about this handbook and its availability, Tubbs stated that is mostly available for Emergency Mgmt. and DOA. Percy asked if C.O.O.P. interacted with the Emergency Response Handbook or how it was associated with Extreme Heat, Cold, or Air Quality? Tubbs stated that D.O.A. is informed of conditions from Emergency Management. Recent weather related emergency (March 2026) was discussed at length, some departments informed employees not to come in (W&R) and Cotillier believed this was a departmental call based upon operational needs by location. Again, discussion of essential vs. non essential employees was had and how these employees are determined as essentional/non? This added comp time, personal time, telecommuting agreements, update to essential list, should we add ice events, some departments closing but others not, and how variations within a department may change essential to non essential, using DOT as a starting point for travel to shut down operations. Dudek then asked if this committee should look at ice events or other related weather events, Cotillier recommended that the committee should stick to the original charge. (hot, cold, air quality)
