APPOINTMENTS BEFORE THE BOARD
ROE LAMBERT, FORMER DEPUTY WITH THE BEERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: Mr.
Ron Lambert requested the county change its policy regarding
vacation pay. He was not re -sworn as a deputy at the change of the
sheriff's position the first of December. He had approximately 292
hours of vacation and was given a three-day notice that he did not
have a job. He had intended to take some vacation time the rest of
the year, but it did not work out.He said there was no
opportunity for him to take the vacation. He thinks this should be
addressed for the future.
Mr. Mashburn said the records indicate the Mr. Lambert has a
balance of 58.23 hours over and above the 240 hours for which he
can be paid if the board chooses to pay the extra vacation time.
Commissioner Johnson inquired about the policy on vacation
days accumulation. Mr. Mashburn explained the policy. The
maximum amount a person can receive payment for is 240 hours or 30
days. Mr. Mashburn said there were six persons who have the same
situation, which would cost $3,422.02 to pay all of the employees
this vacation time, he said.
Chairman Haire inquired if it would be necessary to amend the
personnel policy. Mr. Mashburn said it was his opinion is that the
cleanest way to handle this change would be to amend the ordinance
because he did not think the ordinance anticipated this
circumstance.
Commissioner Madison said he had a concern because of the
State Statutes governing the sheriff's position insofar as keeping
the deputies on in the election and change of a sheriff. He said
he had difficulty in changing the policy to accommodate four or
five people when there are over 500 county employees.
Mr. Lambert said there has never been this type of turnover
before in the sheriff's department, and he has been with the county
over fourteen years.
Commissioner Boone said the personnel policy has to be the
same with everybody. He had problems with changing the policy just
to accommodate five or six people.
Other board members expressed concerns but stated these were
hazards connected with the jobs at the sheriff's office.
MOTION from Commissioner Johnson that the request for the
vacation days from the former sheriff's employee, Mr. Ron Lambert,
be denied.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MOODY WHITE - CONCERNING METHOD OF TAE EVALUATION: Mr. White
came before the board to discuss his concern that the county
commissioners were hiring other people to evaluate the property
during an evaluation and not doing it themselves. He is not happy
with the evaluation procedure.
