Same Sex Decision
by Tricia Callihan June 29, 2015

June 29, 2015

Good afternoon all, We are working on getting a more formal memo out to everyone explaining the Supreme Court's decision on same sex marriage and how it will impact our policies and agreements that are currently in place in some member counties. There will also be some exciting news on a new publication from the Best Practice Panel. For now, no modification to the policies contained in the Best Practice Personnel Manual is required as a result of the Court's decision. No modification is required because the BPP Manual does not define the terms "spouse," or "immediate family member," as recognizing only opposite-sex marriages. The policies contained in the BPP Manual do not conflict with the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. Keep in mind that you should comprehensively review employment policies, benefits, collective bargaining agreements, and any other documents governing benefits to ensure same-sex spouses are not inadvertently denied benefits or policy protections. As always, consult your legal counsel and HR Professionals for advice on interpretation of the new decision.

Same Sex Marriage Decision
by Tricia Callihan June 29, 2015

June 29, 2015

Good morning all, As many of you are aware on Friday June 26, 2015, the United State Supreme Court struck down Ohio's same-sex marriage ban affirming the right of same-sex couples to marry in the process. The Court's 103 page decision in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges may be found at: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf. CORSA will be issuing a memo later today regarding what, if any, impact this decision has on the CORSA Best Practices Personnel Policy.

Tropical Depression Bill
by Tricia Callihan June 18, 2015

June 18, 2015

Good morning all, Trying to get home yesterday from Clinton County proved quite interesting as the roads I needed to travel North of Allen County were closed due to flood waters. I must say that the Putnam and Allen County Engineer's did a fine job of barricading flooded roadways. That reminded me of two good publications that were provided to us some time ago from our friends at Willis. Please see attached flood prevention and flood mitigation information. Hopefully we won't need to use any of the information, but in light of Tropical Storm Bill, we may want to be prepared. Last I heard from CORSA Chief Meteorologist Jim Hale, it looks like Ohio may begin to see Bill effects late Saturday or early Sunday morning. Stay dry John Brownlee - ARM P CORSA Risk Manager jbrownlee(a)ccao.org<mailto:jbrownlee@ccao.org> 419-428-2189 419-980-0084 Cell 614-220-0209 Fax www.corsa.org<http://www.corsa.org/> CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message (including any attachments) is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
