With the expiration, it resulted in the cessation of the 80 hours of Employer Provided Sick Leave (PSL) for employees with symptoms of COVID-19. On February 2, 2021 the City Commission authorized the extension of the 80 hours through March 31,2021 and authorized the City Manager to extend it on a month to month basis as needed.The City Manager extended it one time though April 30,2021,giving employees time to become vaccinated. With the new "delta variant" Orange County has seen a significant increase in COVID cases,including individuals already vaccinated.The City has also realized this increase in its workforce. City Manager Frank briefly explained the request for an extension of employer provided sick leave (PSL) as Orange County has seen a significant increase in the new "delta variant". He recommended to extend PSL for employees under the COVID-19 protocol retroactive to May 1, 2021. He further recommended that this policy be in effect through September 30, 2021, with additional extensions on a monthly basis as needed. Commissioner Brinson asked if this extension would include all employees whether vaccinated or not vaccinated.
