VOTING: Ayes - 3 (Haire/Madison/Johnson) Noes - 2 (Stewart/Boone) 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.
