 Employees with remaining pandemic leave OK'd to use it for personal time off
The Board of Supervisors March 15 voted unanimously to allow employees with unused pandemic leave to keep it and use it as regular leave. The Board was presented with three options and chose Option B.
Acting County Administrator thanks employees for answering the call
"A few days ago, we marked the two-year anniversary of the first COVID-19 case in Pima County. It’s been an historic time. In the future, we will all talk about the past two years like our grandparents talked about the Depression or World War II. There isn’t a soul in Pima County who hasn’t suffered in some way through this lingering pandemic."
That’s some of what Jan Lesher, the Acting County Administrator, had to say in her first regular contribution for eScoop.

A paucity of paper?
This past year, pandemic-related supply shortages have hit just about every County department and the County Print Shop is no exception.
The Print Shop, 220 N. Stone Ave., suite 150, provides printing services of all kinds to every County department and agency.
Over the past few months, timely replenishment of the assorted paper stocks the Shop uses has become a bit untimely.
