SRERIFF'8 REQUZST FOR TWO CARS FOR BAILIFFS: Sheriff Lloyd
made the request of the county commissioners. Last year during the
budget time two cars were taken from the bailiffs. He said this is
creating a problem because two people were unoccupied when court
was not in session because of not being able to serve papers
without a car to drive. There are cars available at the garage at
this time, the sheriff said. One of the former bailiff's cars was
used for the DARE officer. One of the cars is still at the garage.
The second one could be an old car that would normally be sold at
auction, which could be used for a bailiff car. The cars will be
used mainly for transportation and serving papers as they did
before.
Chairman Haire inquired if it was the usual practice for
employees to drive county vehicles back and forth to work. Mr.
Mashburn said certain employees have permission to drive cars to
and from work when it is determined that it is essential in the
performance of their jobs. It is not the usual practice, Mr.
Mashburn said. All road deputies as well as detectives drive their
cars to and from work each day. Up until last year the bailiffs
were permitted to do that. Mr. Mashburn said he was not aware the
County was still transporting bailiffs who do not have cars back
and forth to their homes. He did not think that was the intent of
the board last year.
Commissioner Stewart inquired what was the procedure that was
supposed to be used. Were the bailiffs supposed to car pool?
Sheriff Lloyd said they have five bailiffs. When the bailiffs are
in court, the cars are parked outside the courtroom. When they are
not in court, they are serving civil papers and helping in any
other way they are needed. A car is necessary when they are doing
other work other than bailiff work. There was a question on
whether to take all the bailiffs' cars and there was a compromise
to take away just two. The sheriff has tried with just two and
found that it creates problems. He said he did not remember saying
not to carpool. There are five on duty at the same time. There
are four full-time bailiffs and one bailiff -transport officer
combination. The other four have court every day. When they are
not in court they are serving papers on a daily basis. Sometimes
they have five courts going at the same time. Courts all get off
at different times, which means the bailiffs do not all get off at
the same time. Sometimes they are paying overtime for one of the
bailiffs who is waiting for another bailiff to finish his work day.
The sheriff said when these people were hired they were told
that the automobile went with the job and that they would have
these other additional jobs.
Chairman Haire inquired if the money is there in this budget
for the remainder of 92-93 budget year.
Mrs. Blumenstein said they may have to look at the budget for
93-94 insofar as the automotive supplies, gas, etc., are concerned.
There will also have to be additional money for insurance.
Commissioner Stewart said since this was taken out of the
budget last year and the 93-94 budget was going to be considered
right away, thought itewoulddid nbe betterot handled before
duringthe rboard budget
Shesessions.
Sheriff Lloyd said it was his understanding that it is for the
new budget year 93-94. Mr,. Mashburn said it was not the indication
given him. The budget session for the Sheriff's Department had
already taken place. Then this letter was sent from the Sheriff
saying he wanted to get the vehicles for the bailiffs.
