Staff Contact:
Debbi Hufana, HR Analyst, Human Resources, 360.753.8149
Background:
Retired LEOFF 1 member is requesting approval to purchase hearing aids in the amount of $5,700.00. As required by LEOFF policies, the member submitted two quotes for hearing aids. The quote for $5,700.00 clearly identifies a 3 year warranty as required by policy. The second quote for $5,990.00 does not identify a warranty period. The member did not submit a quote from Costco, as required by policy, because the nearest Costo to the members residence is 45 miles away. This request is in accordance with the LEOFF policy.
