8. WAIVER TO LEAVE PLAN OFFICER INJURED IN THE LINE OF DUTY Approve a waiver to leave plan for Deputy Stephen Chervenak (S1918), who was injured in the line of duty on September 5, 2010, during an arrest. Deputy Chervenak's left ankle was broken to the extent that surgery was required. His recovery necessitates time off work for the injury to heal and for follow-up doctor appointments. This waiver allows Deputy Chervenak to receive normal salary and benefits while under doctor's care for this injury. All workers compensation received will be returned and no future claims for workers compensation will be made by this employee as a result of this injury. Unless otherwise authorized, this waiver expires one year from the date of this action. The estimated cost of this waiver is $7,090 which is the calculated difference between this deputy's salary and benefits less the worker's compensation credit over 13 weeks and will be covered by the Sheriff's Office general fund.
