Discussion and possible action to authorize the court to approve changes to the Webb County Personnel Policy, Section 9.01 to allow county employees to donate Sick Leave Hours to another county employee with a catastrophic illness, which shall be defined as a terminal, life-threatening, and/or severe condition or combination of conditions affecting the mental or physical health of the employee that requires the service of a health care practitioner for a prolonged period of time and any other matter incident thereto.
