A newly updated county policy could help stop county employees from utilizing take-home vehicles without written approval from the county manager. The board of commissioners voted last week to approve an updated take-home vehicle policy to help the commission put its foot down on verbal promises for take-home vehicles, as well as mitigate cost and liability for the county. The issue was brought to the board's attention by County Manager David Headley, who said that verbal promises made by past county managers and department heads as compensation had led to vehicles currently being taken home by employees with no justifiable reason.
