RECREATION DEPARTMENT - MATCHING GRANTS: Mr. Jim Wall, Recreation Director, brought the
matching grants requests before the board. The grants had been recommended by the Recreation
Advisory Board.
A total of $35,000 was allocated in the 1986-87 budget for matching grants. There was a total
of $38,855 requested in matching grant funds. Of this amount $11,444 was requested for maintenance.
# f
Mr. Wall presented a method of funding the matching grants and the maintenance which would
leave a balance of $8,190 in the matching funds line item.
A question was raised about Ebenezer School requesting $2,500 in matching funds for paving of a
parking lot. The board felt the money could be used better in another project rather than for a
parking lot. Dr. Peggy Gray, Ebenezer School principal, was contacted; and she said they could find
other uses for the funds which would be more in keeping with the recreational programs.
MOTION from Chairman Hedrick to expend $11,445 out of the Maintenance line item and $23,000 out
of the matching grants line item. This leaves $8,190 remaining in matching grants line item to be
considered at another time.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES - COMPENSATION FOR EMERGENCY ON -DUTY CALLS:
Mr. Don Wall, Director of the Department of Social Services, presented the board with a request for
funding for compensation for certain members of the staff who have on -duty calls on weekends and
holidays. Mr. Wall also gave information showing how surrounding counties handled compensation for
this responsibility.
Certain employees who work in the area of adoption, foster care, and workfare, and work a
normal 40 -hour week are required to be on call for emergencies on the weekend. This means that the
employees must remain in touch with the telephone and within the area. More and more counties are
recognizing the need to provide extra compensation for this essential and mandated service, Mr. Wall
said.
