ED BAILEY, CITIZENS Chairman Haire asked again if Mr. Bailey
was present, and he was not. She asked the County Manager to
address his concern as expressed to him when he asked to be on the
agenda.
Mr. Mashburn said Mr. Bailey wanted to talk about his concern
with the practice in some of the volunteer fire departments where
the volunteer members are permitted to utilize the facilities to
wash their personal vehicles. Mr. Mashburn does not know if this
is a particular department or all the departments. This is a common
practice at the departments, he said. The firemen are volunteers,
who spend eight to ten hours a week in volunteer work. They spend
long hours preparing equipment, taking training, and standing by
for ready response. If we added the total cost of paying the
firemen for their time, then the amount of benefit they receive for
washing their vehicles is something that is very minor and the
majority of people would have no problem with.
The other matter was the Sheriff's Department employees using
their vehicles when they do private security guard duty. The
policy is that deputies are permitted to take vehicles home with
them which provides additional patrolling on the road while they go
to and from work. They can be called to duty at a moment's notice.
The Attorney General's opinion was read showing that the GS
supports the deputies' activities other than for personal service.
