OLD BUSINESS
Board members reviewed and agreed with the proposed language to update the Board
Rules document to incorporate the approved vote from the previous meeting allowing
for telephonic or virtual attendance at LEOFF 1 Board meetings permitted by ESHB 1329.
NEW BUSINESS
#5640 – Request to Board for review of increase for in-home care.
This request is for additional days and hours for in-home care services due to the
declining health of the LEOFF 1 retiree. The original request for in-home care was
approved by the Board on May 24,2022. The family is requesting an increase to 5 days
rather from 4 days a week and 5 hours per day from 4 hours per day. The doctor’s
recommendation is an increase to 6 days per week at 5 hours per day. Board members
discussed that they are inclined to agree with the doctor’s recommendation as the
doctor is the expert regarding the declining health of this member.
Russ Olson moved to approve the doctor’s recommendation to allow an increase up to 6
days per week at 5 hours per day for the member’s in-home care not to exceed $4,680
per month. Valerie O’Halloran seconds. Motion carried.
