[00:00:05]

DISCRIMINATE, HEAVENLY GRACIOUS, HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK BE FOR THE MANY PRIVILEGES, AN OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU HAVE PRESENTED TO US THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
PLEASE WARM THE COLD PLACES IN OUR HEARTS LIGHT THE DARK PLACES IN OUR SOULS.
HEAL THE EDGER PLACES IN OUR LIVES, IN OUR CITIES, AND FEEL THE EMPTINESS THAT PERVADES OUR LIVES.
ALSO, LOOK DOWN TODD'S FAMILY AS THEY GO THROUGH TRYING TIMES.
HELP THEM TO GET THROUGH THOSE, UH, LOOK DOWN IN FAVOR WITH OUR SOLDIERS AS THEY PUT THEMSELVES IN HARM'S WAY.
BRING THEM HOME AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
ALL THIS WE ASK OF JESUS NAME.
I PLEDGE TO ALLEGIANCE, TO FLAG IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO REPUBLIC FOR FANS FOR ONE NATION, INVIS THE LIBERTY OF JUSTICE.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO BE EXUS.
ONE SAVED UNDER GOD, ONE AND INDIVISIBLE.
UM, Y'ALL GIVE IT YOU MIND WONDERS A LITTLE BIT THIS MORNING, LAST THURSDAY, MY NEPHEW, UH, HAD AN OPERATION TO REMOVE SOME POLYPS FROM HIS, UH, COLON.
AND, UH, HE'S BEEN IN ICU EVER SINCE AND HE'S NOT ABLE TO BREATHE ON HIS OWN.
SO, UH, KIND OF SLIPING TOUCH RIGHT NOW.
HE'S, IN CASE Y'ALL DON'T KNOW, UH, THE FAMILY HISTORY, UH, HIS NAME IS KOBE GENT.
KOBE HAD A DOUBLE LUNG TRANSPLANT WHEN HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD.
HE'S 29 NOW, SO IT WAS PREDICTED THAT, UH, BUT HE HAS CYSTIC FIBROSIS.
HE WAS BORN WITH IT, OF COURSE.
UH, AND SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH THE YEARS WE'VE NEARLY LOST HIM.
BUT, UH, HE'S ALWAYS A FIGHTER AND HE'S ALWAYS PULLED OUTTA IT.
BUT WE'RE QUITE WORRIED ABOUT HIM THIS TIME.
AND MY BROTHER SAID YESTERDAY, KOBE'S 29, BUT HIS LUNGS WERE 28
THE LUNGS OF AN 11-YEAR-OLD WHO A BICYCLE ACCIDENT IN, IN GEORGIA, WE JUST HUNG IN THERE A LOT LONGER THAN EVERYBODY EVER THOUGHT IT WOULD.
YEAH, WE A LOT LONGER THAN ANYBODY EVER, EVER PREDICTED.
HALF THE PEOPLE WHO GET CF DIED BEFORE THEY 16.
OKAY, HAVING SAID ALL OF THAT, UH, Y'ALL CAN PROVIDE A COPY OF THE MINUTES OF THE LAST MEETING OF ANY ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS.
IF THERE ARE NONE, YOU WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THOSE AS PRESENTED.
MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.
FIRST THING ON THE AGENDA IS, UH, 15 CORRESPONDENCE.
I HADN'T TALKED TO GEORGE ABOUT IT.
I, WHAT THIS GUY'S TALKING ABOUT.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS GUY'S TALKING ABOUT.
I'LL, UH, GIVE JOHN A COPY THIS AND, AND, UH, YEAH, LEMME JUST TAKE THIS ONE, UH, A LETTER THAT COMMISSIONER COURT IN THE UNITED STATES.
[00:05:13]
FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA NOW WOULD BE, UH, RICHARD MURPHY TO PRESENT THE TEXAS.THERE'S NOTHING REPORT FROM NOVEMBER.
WE HOPE IT WAS BETTER THAN OCTOBER.
I DO HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS, ALTHOUGH THE NOVEMBER REPORT IS NOT, BUT THROUGH NOVEMBER WE COLLECTED, UH, 1.349 MILLION IN THE GENERAL FUND, WHICH IS 5% AND HAD COLLECTED 216,000 IN THE ROAD BRIDGE, WHICH IS 5%.
AND AS I MENTIONED LAST WEEK, I THINK WE LEARNED LAST YEAR THAT THE MORTGAGE COMPANIES HAVE STARTED HOLDING REMITTANCES UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER, AND THEY DID THAT LAST YEAR.
AND THOUGH WE WERE WAY BEHIND IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER, BY THE END OF DECEMBER, WE CAUGHT UP WITH PRIOR YEARS.
SO I RAN THE NUMBERS THROUGH LAST FRIDAY, AND WE HAD COLLECTED IN THE GENERAL FUND RIGHT AT $3 MILLION, WHICH SHOWS WE'RE GETTING TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE, BUT WE'RE STILL SLOWER AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT, UH, NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIT CAUTIOUS, BUT, UH, I DON'T KNOW IF WE'LL REACH THE 40 TO 45% WE HAD LAST YEAR BY THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT WE'LL BE A LOT CLOSER THAN NOVEMBER WOULD INDICATE.
SO I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO GET MORE THIS WEEK SHOULD BE OUR BIGGEST WEEK, SO WE SHOULD THAT REAL, THE THREE MEETING IS COLLECTED BY LAST FRIDAY.
NICK, WAS THAT ALL TAXES OR JUST COUNTY TAXES? NO, THAT'S JUST, JUST, UH, GENERAL PLUMBING.
WE ALSO HAD 480,000 IN ROAD AND BRIDGE, AND THAT'S, THAT'S IN SECOND THROUGH LAST FRIDAY.
THAT'S NOT JUST FOR, ALTHOUGH WE HAD TWO DAYS LAST WEEK COUNTYWIDE, WE COLLECTED OVER $2 MILLION, TWO DIFFERENT DAYS.
THERE WAS, UH, AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR, WE'LL HAVE SOME WORKSHOPS REGARDING HOW TO, UH, FIGURE OUT WAYS THAT WE CAN BRING IN THE MONEY SOONER LIKE IT USED TO BE.
SO WE CONSIDER OFFERING DISCOUNTS AND JOHN KIND OF DO A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THAT BECAUSE WE USED TO ORDER, USED TO ORDER, IT USED TO OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR EARLY PAYMENT IN OCTOBER AND THEN, THEN IN NOVEMBER, IN DECEMBER WITH THE BIGGEST DISCOUNT PAYING IF YOU PAID IN OCTOBER.
AND UM, I DON'T THINK IT WAS UNTIL AFTER ALL OF THE ENTITIES QUIT DOING THAT, THAT, UH, WE STARTED HAVING, UH, SHORTCOMINGS IN OCTOBER, IN NOVEMBER.
BUT, UH, IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED THAT, AND ALSO IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED, UH, CHANGING OUR, OUR FISCAL YEAR FROM THE FISCAL YEAR TO OUR CALENDAR YEAR.
AND, BUT WE STILL, WE DID THAT, WE STILL HAVE THAT OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, EVEN THOUGH IT'D BE AT THE END OF THE BUDGET, STILL AT THE BEGINNING OF THE BUDGET.
THE ONLY ADVANTAGE I CAN SEE TO THAT, AND WE DISCUSSED THIS, IS THAT IT WOULD PUT MORE EMPHASIS ON THE DEPARTMENTS CONTROLLING THEIR BUDGET FOR THEIR EXPENDITURES.
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE FISCAL, WHAT HAPPENED WAS A LOT OF, A LOT OF DEPARTMENTS WENT OUT AND REALLY, I MEAN, THEY HAD A LOT OF MONEY, SO THEY WENT OUT AND COME GET CASH CASH.
ANYWAY, WE'LL, WE'LL GET SOME DISCUSSION ON THAT, JOHNNY.
AND IN REGARDS TO THIS NOVEMBER REPORT, WE ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ACCEPT THAT MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER ROUND, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SHANE.
MOTION CARRIES NOW NEXT, ADAM DICK ALSO AND DISCUSS, CONSIDER EMPLOYMENT OF PHILLIP OSTEIN TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE ELECTION EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT AND RELATED SOFTWARE, PLUS VARIOUS DUTIES INVOLVING THE TAX OFFICE.
ANY FURTHER COMMENT ON THAT? UH, DICK, WELL, TWO WEEKS AGO IT WAS MENTIONED THAT WE DIDN'T WANT TO, AND I MAY SAY
[00:10:01]
THIS WRONG, UH, INFRINGE, UH, OR INTERFERE OR DUPLICATE THE ACTIVITY OF THE IT DEPARTMENT.AND, UH, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT WITH REGARD TO THE ELECTION PART, GEORGE CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINS THAT THEY DON'T WANT ANY PART OF IT.
AS FAR AS I KNOW, THAT'S THESE CURRENT STATUS.
THE OTHER DUTIES, UH, THAT I'LL BE ASSIGNING TO PHILLIP, UH, OUT OF THE TAX OFFICE, DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO PARTICULARLY WITH IT.
FOR EXAMPLE, IN RESPONSE TO THE AUDITOR'S REQUEST, I WANT TO HAVE HIM RECONCILE OUR BANK ACCOUNT SO THAT WE HAVE A TOTALLY INDEPENDENT, UH, RECONCILE FROM THE BOOKKEEPING ACT OR FROM THE CHECK WRITING ACTIVITY.
AND I'D LIKE TO ASSIGN HIM THE RESPONSIBILITY OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT, WHICH IS WAS ONE OF MY, SOMETHING I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR FOUR YEARS WOULD LIKE TO GET IMPROVEMENTS IN THAT AREA.
I WOULD LIKE FOR HIM TO TAKE OVER THE BOOKKEEPING ACTIVITY FOR THE TAX OFFICE, UH, AND TO HANDLE THE SUPPLEMENTS COMING OVER FROM THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT AND THE RESULTING CORRECTION BILL TAKE OVER THE LIQUOR AND BEER LICENSING COMMUNICATION WITH THE TEXAS ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE COMMISSION, REVIEW TITLE PACKAGES AND HANDLE SEIZURES.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WOULD SUPPLEMENT PHILLIPS' ELECTION AND VOTER ACTIVITY.
NONE OF THESE CONFLICT AS THE WORD ANYTHING THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE INVOLVED IN THE IT DEPARTMENT.
IS THAT ENOUGH TO MAKE THAT A FULL-TIME JOB FOR HIM THEN? ALL THE TIME.
AND THAT WE CONSTANTLY FIND OTHER THINGS FOR HIM TO DO TOO, BUT NO, I I'M FULLY CONFIDENT WE MAKE THIS A FULL TIME JOB.
ARE THESE ITEMS THAT HE'S GONE, ARE THEY BEING DONE BY SOMEBODY ELSE RIGHT NOW? YES.
WELL, SCATTERED THROUGHOUT, LIKE COMMUNICATION WITH THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT, I, I WANT TO GET THAT COORDINATED SO THAT WE HAVE ONE PERSON DOING THE COMMUNICATION.
I, I THINK WE'LL HAVE BETTER RESULTS IF WE DO THAT.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS ON THE AGENDA? BECAUSE WE'RE CREATING A NEW POSITION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUDGET HERE, BECAUSE IF YOU GOT POSITION, THE FUNDS ARE IN THE BUDGET AND I HAD TWO LINES, ONE FOR A NEW ENTRY LEVEL EMPLOYEE AND ANOTHER FOR CONTRACT LABOR.
AND THE TWO TOGETHER SOLVES THIS PROBLEM AS FAR, AS FAR AS THE MONEY GOES.
YEAH, BUT YOU'RE STILL CREATING A NEW POSITION IN THE MIDDLE BUDGET.
AND ALSO WE'RE A QUARTER OF THE YEAR, SO I HAD A FULL TIME IN THE BUDGET.
I HAD A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE, WHICH WE WERE ALREADY 25% AWAY.
I HAVEN'T TALKED TO JOHNNY ABOUT JOHNNY COMMISSIONER SAMUELSON, HAVE YOU GOT ANY COMMENTS ABOUT, I'M SORRY, JOHN, I, YOU, UH, HAVE YOU HAD, UH, COMMISSIONER SHAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THE BUDGET TRANSFERS OR NO, I, I TOLD COMMISSION I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE BUDGET TRANSFERS THAT PART IT, BUT I STILL THINK THEY NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE IT WORK INVOLVED.
IT ALSO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, KEVIN.
I, I DUNNO THAT THAT WOULD BE, I MEAN, WE COULD COORDINATE BUYING CHARGE, BUT THE MAIN THING IS KEEPING THAT ELECTION EQUIPMENT OPERATING AND RUNNING AND SETTING UP AND THEN GOING THROUGH ALL THE ACTIVITIES OF GETTING THE ELECTION UP AND RUNNING.
UH, WE PAID THIS YEAR $17,000 TO GET OUR VENDOR TO DO WHAT
[00:15:01]
HE CAN DO AND WHAT JODY DID BEFORE THAT INCIDENT CAME UP.AND SO THAT ACTIVITY COST OF 17 THAT WE'LL NEVER HAVE TO PAY AGAIN.
SO HE'S BASICALLY DOING WHAT JODY DID PLUS THESE OTHER, UH, ELECTION WISE, HE'S DOING EXACTLY WHAT JODY DID PLUS, UH, THE NEW INTEGRATED VOTER EQUIPMENT, UH, YOU'LL BE INVOLVED WITH THAT TOO.
AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF THAT I'VE ENUMERATED IS OUTTA THE TAX OFFICE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
SO WHICH OFFICER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT WOULD BE THE TAX OFFICE OR ELECTIONS OR BOTH? BOTH.
I'M ON, I'M IN CHARGE OF BOTH, SO I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, THERE'RE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
THE ELECTION, THE ELECTION'S EXPENSES, YOU HAVE CONTRACT OF 15 PART-TIME TO FOUR EXTRA HELP IS 31 THE TAX, I'M SORRY, THE TAX ASSESSOR, YOU HAVE EXTRA HELP AT 31 BOARD OF REGISTRATION.
YOU HAVE ONE OPEN POSITION IN THE TAX ASSESSOR'S OFFICE OF 26 2.
I IF WE'RE GOING TO, I JUST HAVE A PROBLEM CREATING THE DEPARTMENT.
I, I THINK, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE BUCKING UP AGAINST THE WAY LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE CHAPTER ONE 11 AND 1 51 TELLS US HOW TO CREATE THESE DEPARTMENTS.
UH, AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE, UH, AT BUDGET TIME.
UH, AND I, I THINK WE NEED TO CONSIDER ALL THESE LINE ITEM TRANSFERS OF WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO FOR CONTRACT LABOR IF YOU USE THIS MONEY FOR THAT SALVAGE, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO FOR CONTRACT LABOR WHEN, UH, UH, WHEN ELECTION TIME COMES OR PART-TIME HELP OR EXTRA HELP? YOU'VE GOT FOUR DEPARTMENTS HERE THAT YOU'RE TAKING MONEY FROM, BUT THERE'S ONE, ONE DEPARTMENT.
I, I'M NOT FOLLOWING YOU, I'M NOT TAKING MONEY FROM FOUR DEPARTMENTS.
WE, WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET TO HIRE AN EMPLOYEE ONE OPENING IN VOTERS.
YOU HAVE ONE IN THE TAX ASSESSOR'S OFFICE DEPARTMENT, 500 IN THE TAX ASSESS ASSESSOR'S OFFICE.
YOU HAVE A ONE OPEN POSITION AT THE SALARY OF 26.2.
THE REST OF THESE ARE EXTRA HELP AND PART-TIME.
NOW WE'RE GONNA TRANSFER THAT MONEY FROM THOSE OTHER FOUR DEPARTMENTS INTO THIS ONE DEPARTMENT.
WELL, I CAN BE WRONG, BUT WHEN WE PUT IN FOR OUR BUDGET, AND AS FAR AS I KNEW IT PASSED, I HAD A NEW EMPLOYEE FOR FORNEY OFFICE AND THE TAX OFFICE, AN EMPLOYEE FOR VOTER REGISTRATION IN THIS OFFICE.
AND YOU'RE GONNA COMBINE IT? NO, THAT WAS TWO PEOPLE FOR THIS YEAR.
AM I WRONG? DO, DOES ANYBODY KNOW? I REMEMBER ONE, BUT I YOU FILLED THE ONE IN POINT, GOT ONE OVER THERE.
NOW HAS THAT BEEN FILLED? THAT'S BEEN THE, YEAH, SO YOU HAVE ONE ONE POSITION.
WHAT I TRUE THAT YES, IT'S A NEW HIRE.
IT'S IN, IT'S IN THE DEPARTMENT TAX POSITION.
I, I DON'T KNOW THE PROTOCOL OF BUDGET PARTICULARLY, BUT WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF CROSS ACTIVITIES BETWEEN VOTERS AND TAXES.
I HAVE PEOPLE IN TAX OFFICE DOING A LOT OF VOTER STUFF AND VICE VERSA.
SO TO ME IT IS ALL THE SAME AS ONE DEPARTMENT.
I THINK WHAT MR. WHAT COMMISSIONER ER'S ASKING IS, YOU'VE GOT 26,000 IN THERE FOR THIS EMPLOYEE, RIGHT? AND THEN, AND WE'VE BEEN, IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE OUT THE, THE 15,000 ADDITIONAL THERE, YOU COULD SAY, WELL, WE'VE GONE THROUGH ONE QUARTER OF THE YEAR, SO YOU CAN ADD A QUARTER TO THE BASE SALARY AND YOU'LL ALMOST BE WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
WHAT IS THE SALARY THIS JOB'S GONNA REQUIRE? PARDON? WHAT'S THE, WHAT'S THE SALARY THIS JOB'S GONNA REQUIRE? I THINK WE CAN HIRE FOR 40,000.
I ORIGINALLY WANTED TO DO THE SAME AMOUNT THAT, UH, HE HAD APPLIED FOR THE POSITION OUT AT THE JAIL, WHICH WAS 50,000.
[00:20:02]
I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH IN MY BUDGET.SO, SO I THINK, AND I HAVE NOT TALKED SALARY WITH HIM.
I WAITING BECAUSE I HAD APPROVED HIRING, COULDN'T DO THAT.
BUT, UH, I THINK WE CAN MAKE 40,000 WORK.
IF COULD WORK TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR BUDGET.
A PERSON THAT HIRES IN AT 40,000, A COST TO THE COUNTY IS AROUND $47,000.
AND THIS, THIS YEAR, IF ANYBODY REALIZES THIS ECONOMY IS NOT GOING GREAT GUNS, WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL ON OUR BUDGET TO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY.
THAT'S THE REASON I NEED THIS GUY, IS TO KEEP FROM PAYING 17,000 TO THE VENDOR ON EACH TIME WE HAVE AN ELECTION AND WE'LL HAVE TWO OF THEM THIS YEAR.
I DON'T SEE ANY, I DON'T SEE IN YOUR, ALL YOUR BUDGET NUMBERS WHERE YOU HAVE 40, UH, THAT JUST DON'T, I DID A LOT OF, I DID A LOT OF CALCULATION.
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU CAN, HOW WE CAN DO THIS WITHOUT UPSETTING THE APPLE CART WITHOUT, WITHOUT DESTROYING THE INTEGRITY OF OUR, UH, THE SALARY WITHIN THE DEPARTMENTS OVER THERE.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE IT COULD FIT.
UH, AT $40,000, UH, THAT'S A, WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DOES HE HAVE FOR A $40,000 JOB WHEN, WHEN YOUR OTHER EMPLOYEES ARE MAKING 26, 28 TO 30? IT, IT DON'T COMPUTE.
WELL, HE HAS THE QUALIFICATIONS TO HANDLE ALL OF THE COMPUTER EQUIPMENT THAT WE USE FOR VOTING AND I MEAN ELECTIONS AND VOTING.
THAT'S WHY DID WE HAVE TO HIRE SOMEBODY ELSE TO COME IN? WHY DID WE HAVE TO DO THAT? BECAUSE THE PARTIES, YOU REMEMBER, I UNDERSTAND THAT ELIMINATED THE PERSON THAT WAS DOING THAT.
DICK, I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WHO YOU HIRE, UH, BUT IN MY OPINION, YOU GOTTA STICK THAT 26,200, YOU GONNA BRING SOMEBODY.
I CAN'T GET THAT KIND OF TALENT AT THAT PERMIT.
WHAT WOULD IT DO TO THE MORALE OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEES? THEY ALL LOVE HIM.
THEY ALL WANT HIM THERE, BUT WHEN THEY FIND OUT HOW MUCH MONEY, HOW MUCH MONEY HE'S MAKING, WILL HE STILL LOVE HIM? YEAH, BECAUSE HE'S AN EXCELLENT COOK.
AND THAT WAS ANOTHER THING, CAFETERIA BE I, I'VE HAD A FEW TELEPHONE CALLS NOT FROM YOUR OFFICE, BUT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT, UH, HIRING SOMEBODY AT A SALARY FOR, IT'S A LOT MORE THAN SOMEBODY'S BEEN HERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS THAT COULD BE QUALIFIED OR MIGHT NOT BE QUALIFIED TO DO THAT JOB.
WE NEED TO LOOK INTERNALLY TO FILL THAT JOB POSITION.
AND UH, THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING WHY I NEEDED ON THE BUDGET.
IF YOU'VE GOT, IF YOU'VE GOT A SPOT IN YOUR BUTT TO HIRE THE GUY, THEN YOU CAN DO THAT.
BUT IF WE APPROVE A HIGHER SALARY, THEN THE PERSON THAT HE'S GONNA HAVE TO WORK, UH, WITH OR WHATEVER, IS THAT GOING CREATE A BIG PROBLEM? IT DOES IN THE REAL WORLD WORLD.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT DOES THE GOVERNMENT OR NOT.
WELL, JUDGE, ONE, ONE QUESTION REAL QUICK.
UH, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE MONEY LIKE JIM IS.
I MEAN, I, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S SHORT RIGHT NOW.
IF HE HAD THIS MONEY IN HIS BUDGET, IS IT UP TO US TO TELL HIM HOW MUCH HE CAN HIRE SOMEBODY FOR IF HE CAN MAKE THE MONEY WORK, IF HE'S, I MEAN, IS IT UP TO US TO TRY TO KEEP THE MORALE IN THIS DEPARTMENT UP OR DOWN OR WHATEVER? NO, IT'S UP TO US TRYING TO KEEP THE MORALE AND THE REST OF THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES.
BUT LOOK, LOOK WHAT, LOOK WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY DOING.
IF YOU DO THAT, I MEAN, WE HAVE A SALARY SCHEDULE AND EVERY TIME WE DO THE BUDGET AND JOHNNY'S THERE WITH US AND HE, THAT PAYROLLS GONNA, AND THAT'S WHAT'S IN HIS BUDGET NOW.
AND IT WOULD BE LIKE, SUPPOSE YOU, YOU WANT TO, YOU LOOK FIRE ONE OF YOUR MAINTAINER OPERATORS AND USE THAT MONEY BY TO THE REST OF THE GUYS OR FIRE YOUR MAINTAINER GUY AND USE HIS
[00:25:01]
SALARY TO GIVE IT TO ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS.I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WELL, BUT, AND I'M NOT TRYING TO BE, THAT'S WHY HE'S HERE TO CREATE A NEW POSITION.
A NEW POSITION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUDGET GEAR.
AND I DON'T LIKE THAT PART OF IT EITHER.
UM, IT ONLY HAS THREE QUARTERS OF A YEAR LEFT ON, ON THE SALARY.
THAT'S THE ONLY SAVING GRACE ABOUT THIS WHOLE DEAL THAT I SEE ON HOWEVER WE TRUCTURE THE SALARY DEAL.
I MEAN, ONLY HAVE I MUCH LEFT.
ANYWAY, I'M JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT OUR, WELL, AS I UNDERSTAND OTHER, OTHER DEPARTMENTS HIRING AND OTHER BASE SALARY IT DEPARTMENT, SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, IF IT'S HIRING SOMEONE IN A POSITION THAT'S ALREADY THERE, SEE THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE DOING HERE.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE CREATING A NEW POSITION.
WELL, IT WAS CREATED FOR US THEN.
UM, BUT I MEAN, IF, IF SOMEONE LEAVES THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT AND HE'S A LIEUTENANT, THEN SHERIFF CAN HIRE SOMEONE IN AT THE LIEUTENANT'S PLACE AND LIEUTENANT SALARY.
BUT IF IT'S A PATROLMAN THAT THAT LEAVES AND SHERIFF HIM, HE'S GOTTA HIRE AT THAT PATROLMAN SALARY.
IT'S A NEW POSITION, BUT THERE'S ALSO NO QUESTION THAT'S NEEDED.
WELL, JUDGE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE, THE MONEY THING.
LIKE, UH, COMMISSIONER DEL IS, UH, BUT LIKE COMMISSIONER SHANE SAYS IT'S ONLY THREE QUARTERS OF A YEAR AGO.
SO THAT 26,000, IF YOU MAKE IT EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1ST.
UH, BUT THERE'S ALWAYS PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINANT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE VOTERS DEPARTMENT.
IF THIS GUY, HE SEEMED TO HAVE MADE IT RUN REALLY SMOOTH LAST YEAR, THE ELECTIONS, THE ELECTION, SIR.
UH, IF HE'S THE ANSWER TO WHAT DICK'S BEEN LOOKING FOR, UH, I DON'T, I DUNNO, I DON'T, I GUESS I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT.
I'D LIKE TO SEE DICK TAKE THIS TO HIM AND OFFER HIM A SALARY THAT HE CAN START HIM AT AND THEN COME UP NEW BUDGET TIME NEXT YEAR.
Y'ALL SIT DOWN AND WORK WITH DICK ON HIS BUDGET AND SEE HOW Y'ALL PUT THIS IN.
IF YOU SEE IF THIS, UH, POSITION WORTH A LITTLE MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY TO IT.
RIGHT NOW IT'S OPEN AND MEDICARE TAX, BUT IN YOUR MIND, THERE'S MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO TAKE CARE OF THIS GUY AT THAT SALARY FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR.
IN MY MIND THERE IS, I I DIDN'T, YOU KNOW, I GO BACK AND RESEARCH IT AGAIN, BUT I KNOW WHEN I SUBMITTED MY BUDGET, I SUBMITTED FOR AN EMPLOYEE IN THE FORNEY OFFICE AND I SUBMITTED FOR AN EMPLOYEE, AN VOTER REGISTRATION AT 26,200.
BUT FOR YEAR NOW, I, THREE QUARTERS OF A YEAR, WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT YEAR? NEXT YEAR? WE'LL, WE'LL MAKE IT RIGHT.
WE WILL SAY HE WILL SAVE US $17,000 IN THE MAY ELECTIONS.
AND AGAIN IN NOVEMBER, WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT.
WE'LL GET TO PAY $17,000 TWO MORE TIMES TO OUR VENDOR, PRINT ALL OF OUT DESIGN AND PRINT ALL THE BALLOTS FOR THE ELECTIONS THAT ARE COMING UP.
AND I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO DO THAT.
WELL, JIM, IF HE'S IN THERE AT 26, UH, WHEN IT COMES UP NEXT YEAR, WHICH PROBABLY GONNA BE A REAL TOUGH YEAR, PROBABLY NOT.
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE UP TO US OR UP TO YOU TO COME AND ASK FOR A 15,000 RAISE FOR THIS GUY.
YOU KNOW, AND ARE YOU GONNA GO FOR IT? NO.
BUT, UH, I JUST DON'T WANT TO, I DON'T WANT TO BUCK THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE IN OUR, IN OUR DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO ESTABLISH THE BUDGET, HOW TO ESTABLISH THE SALARY.
ONCE WE ESTABLISH, ONCE YOU HAVE ASKED FOR A SALARY AND THE COMMISSIONER'S COURT EARN BUDGETING TIME APPROVES IT.
[00:30:01]
COME TO THIS COURT TO HIRE THAT PERSON.YOU CAN HIRE AND FIRE ANYTIME YOU WANT.
BUT ONCE YOU HAVE ASKED FOR A BUDGET, DOLLAR WISE SALARY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME TO COURT.
BUT TO DO A, A BUDGET AMENDMENT AND TRANSFERRED FUNDS, IT'S A LITTLE MORE THAN, THAN WHAT WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW BUDGETS HANDLE UNUSUAL THINGS, BUT WHEN WE SET THE BUDGET, WE DIDN'T HAVE THIS NEED BEEN SINCE THEN HAVE CAUSED US TO HAVE THIS NEED.
AND I'VE GOT IT, I'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH IT.
WELL, THE LOCAL LEVEL COURT ALLOWS US TO WIN THE BUDGET DURING, DURING, DURING THE YEAR.
BUT AS TIGHT AS OUR MONEY IS, I REALLY HESITATE TO GO ANY MORE THAN THAN WHAT'S IN THE BUDGET.
THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I HAVE A PROBLEM.
DO YOU THINK IT WOULD TAKE THIS JOB KNOWING THAT YOU'VE GONNA, WE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK IN JULY OF THIS YEAR TO TRY TO GET HIS SALARY UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU WANT IT TO BE? 'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE GONNA BE, IS HE GONNA BE HIRING 20 WHAT I'M SAYING, IF HE WANTS, YOU KNOW, HE'S GOT 26,000 IN THE BUDGET, THAT'S 26,000 ANNUAL SALARY.
NOW WHAT DICK IS SAYING IS, WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO USE IT THIS FIRST THREE MONTHS.
I WON'T USE IT 26 OR NINE MONTHS SALARY.
UH, THAT'S VERY UNUSUAL TO BE DONE THAT WAY.
BUT I SEE WHAT, WHAT DICK IS SAYING THAT I'M
THERE'S ONE OTHER LITTLE THING OF DOLLARS BECAUSE I DON'T HOW OVERTIME WORKS, BUT THESE DUTIES WILL BE ASSIGNED TO HIM, WILL CUT BACK ON THE, UH, OVERTIME, CURRENT EMPLOYEES.
UH, CUT BACK ON PJ WORKING SO MUCH AND ON MOTION, OF COURSE, I GUESS THE DICK'S DEFENSE, HE DIDN'T, AND WHEN HE CAME TO THE BUDGET IN JULY, HE DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS GONNA BE A PROBLEM WITH, UH, THE PERSON THAT HAD THIS JOB BEFORE.
IF YOU TAKE THAT, SEE THIS, THIS, THE REASON I NEED IT IS TRANSFERRING IT FROM THE IT DEPARTMENT BECAUSE THEY GOT DISQUALIFIED.
I DUNNO HOW YOU HANDLE THAT IN THE BUDGET EITHER, BUT SOMEBODY'S GOTTA DO THIS WORK.
WAS THAT SALARY PAID OUT OF THE IT DEPARTMENT? NO.
OR WAS IT PAID OUTTA YOUR DEPARTMENT? WHAT JODY'S 26.
IF, IF, IF, IF YOU HIRED THIS GENTLEMAN AT 26, LIKE THE JUDGE WAS SAYING FOR NINE MONTHS COMPARED TO 12 MONTHS, IT WOULD STILL, WHAT HE WOULD EQUATE TO IS $31,000 A YEAR.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT NEXT YEAR YOU'RE GONNA COME BACK AND ASK US FOR 31,000.
I ASKED FOR THE 26TH THIS YEAR.
AND NOW HE'S NOW HE JUST SAID FOUR.
I JUST, I PERSONALLY LOOKING IN MY BUDGET, MAKE SOME CUT FOR NEXT YEAR.
NOT BECAUSE I WANT, I, IT PROBABLY BE QUESTION AND I WOULD SURE HATE TO SEE POSITION, HIRE SOMEBODY AND THEN TURN RIGHT BACK AROUND NEXT, YOU KNOW, NEXT SUMMER AND SAY, LOOK, THIS, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, FIND'S A BETTER WAY OF DOING THAT.
I'M, I'M, I'M DREADING IT MYSELF, BUT I, I CAN, I CAN, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK I CAN SEE IT COMING.
IT'S LIKE, OH, MR. SHANE PUT OFF HIS BILL, HIS FENCE.
I PUT OFF MY BUILDING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
YOU KNOW, THERE, I THINK THE BUDGET IS A MILLION SOMETHING FOR NEW BUILDING, NEW CONSTRUCTION.
AND I'D SURE LIKE TO BUILD MY NEW BUILDING, BUT WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE CASH FLOW TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
AND I JUST DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY THAT WE DON'T HAVE.
IT'S JUST, IT'S NOT MR. MURPHY.
IT'S NOT WHO'S THE GUY BILL? IT'S NOT FILL IT, IT'S THE MONEY.
IT'S, IT'S JUST THE ISSUE THAT, THAT WE'VE GOT TO, UH, IDENTIFY BECAUSE NEXT YEAR WE MAY HAVE TO GET DOWN AND START DOING SOME CUTTINGS INSTEAD OF PASTING.
THERE'LL BE A LOT OF CUTTING THE PASTING GOING ON THE REST OF THIS YEAR.
THAT'S WHAT I MR. SHANE WANTS TO KNOW.
YOU GOT AN OPINION REGARDING THE, THE CASH FLOW RIGHT
[00:35:01]
NOW AND NO, YOU, YOU, THE AUDITOR, MR. DISTRICT, NO ROOM.WE'RE OBVIOUSLY VERY TIGHT, BUT THE BUDGET IS VERY TIGHT.
THERE'S NOT, THERE'S NOT ROOM IN THE BUDGET TO GROW, UH, UNLESS WE CUT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THAT'S HAVING SAID THAT, IT'S, IT'S UP TO YOU GENTLEMEN TO ADJUST THE BUDGET OR NOT.
WELL, BACK TO SOMETHING THAT MR BROUGHT UP, UH, DICK, YOU GOT, YOU WANT TO TRANSFER MONEY OUT OF YOUR EXTRA HELP AND YOUR CONTRACT LABOR TO AUGMENT THIS, THIS SALARY.
UH, IS HE GOING TO TAKE UP ALL THE SLACK THAT YOUR CONTRACT LABOR AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVEN'T NORMALLY DO? WELL, NOT ALL OF IT, BUT WE'RE NOT TRANSFERRING ALL OF IT OUT EITHER.
BUT YOU'LL TAKE UP THE SLACK WE'RE TAKING OUTTA IT.
COULD YOU PAY, SINCE HE'S GOT 26,000 IN THE BOOKS, COULD YOU PAY $26,000 FOR THREE FOUR OF THE YEAR OR SIX MONTHS? WE COULD OFFER THAT.
I SEE SOME OVER SHAKING HIS HEAD.
I I IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO KNOW.
I HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN WITH THAT BECAUSE THE 26,200, IT WORKS OUT 2108 A MONTH.
AND I THINK YOUR COMMITMENT IS THAT YOU'RE GONNA PAY THAT MUCH PER MONTH OR EVERY TWO WEEKS OR HOWEVER THAT WORKS OUT.
AND TO RATCHET IT INTO DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD SEEMS SOMETHING DISINGENUOUS THAT, UH, I'M ONLY PAYING 26 200 AND IT INDICATED I KIND OF WORKED MATH.
YOU'RE NO LONGER PAYING 26 200, YOU'RE PAYING 31,000.
AND I WOULD IMAGINE AT THE END OF THE BUDGET CYCLE, WHOEVER'S RECEIVING THAT HIGHER RATE OF PAY WOULD EXPECT WOULD NOT WANT TO GO TO A 26 200 SALARY.
AND, AND I THINK IT'S JUST AS FAR AS WHATS IN THE, SOMEONE AT THE END OF THE, YOU KNOW, HALFWAY THROUGH, DID THEY GET IT? I MEAN, THAT EFFECTIVELY DOUBLES THEIR SALARY.
I SO YOU'RE SAYING IT'S NOT 26,000 FOR THAT PERIOD, IT'S 26,000 FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, WHICH RELATES TO SO MUCH A MONTH THAT, THAT'S CORRECT.
AND I HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN PAYING SOMETHING UNRELATABLE ALL THIS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.
IF YOU DO THAT THE NEXT TIME HALFWAY THROUGH THE YEAR, WE'LL PAY 26 200 FOR SIX MONTHS, WHICH 52,000 A YEAR.
SO NONETHELESS, IT'S IN THE BUDGET.
SO IF WE SAY, WELL, WE WILL HAVE TO EITHER GET IT IN THE BUDGET NEXT YEAR AT A HIGHER AMOUNT OR QUIT, WE CAN DO THAT TOO.
NEXT YEAR'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT BUDGET.
SO IF YOU HIDING IN AT THE 26TH, WHATEVER THAT IS, THE REST OF THIS YEAR, AND THEN LIKE YOU SAID, NEXT YEAR, IT WOULD BE A WHOLE NOTHER STORY.
I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE IS TO HAVE THIS CAPABILITY, IT'S GOING TO SAVE US MONEY BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO CONTRACT AND GET STUFF DONE, AND WE'LL RELIEVE EXISTING EMPLOYEES OF ACTIVITIES SO THAT THERE'S LESS OVERTIME AND WE'LL FILL THE NEED OF THE OTHER EMPLOYEE THAT I NEEDED TO BEGIN WITH THE ENTRY LEVEL EMPLOYEE TO REDISTRIBUTE THAT WORK SO THAT IT ALL GETS ACCOMPLISHED.
WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THESE NEW DUTIES THAT YOU'RE, THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA THAT YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM? APPRAISAL DISTRICT, UH, WHAT ELSE? LICENSE PLATE.
JUST I GOT WITH MY GIRLS IN THE TAX OFFICE AND WE MADE A LIST OF THINGS THAT HE WOULD BE CAPABLE OF DOING THAT WOULD RELIEVE THE STRAIN ON THE TAX OFFICE.
OUR VOLUMES ARE GOING UP AND UP AND UP.
WE HAVE AN IN-HOUSE PERSON THAT CAN DO THAT.
CAN DO WHAT? WHAT YOU, WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS INDIVIDUAL TO DO? I HAVE NOBODY THAT CAN DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO WITH THE VOTER EQUIPMENT.
IT'S NOT ON, ALL THESE EXTRA DUTIES ARE BEING DONE NOW BY MY PEOPLE, BUT THEY'RE WORKING ALL WEEKEND.
BUT IF YOU HIRED HIM IN AT THIS 26, WHATEVER, THEN ALL OF THIS STUFF IS MOVED.
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT, YOU'VE GIVE HIM WHAT OTHER,
[00:40:01]
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HIRE SOMEONE IN AT 26, IS THAT RIGHT? EXACTLY.IT WOULD'VE COME UP, COME HERE, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THEY BIG ONE MORE THAN THE 26TH.
CAN YOU SEE? YOU CAN WORK THAT OUT AND THEN JUST BRING IT BACK NEXT YEAR AND DO THAT.
THAT I CAN WORK IT OUT FOR THE 26 FOR THE THREE QUARTERS OF THE YEAR PLUS THE CONTRACT THAT I HAVE SET ASIDE FOR THIS.
I THINK THAT'S THE PART JOHN SAYS PROBABLY CAN'T HAPPEN.
WHY NOT? HE SAID THAT 26 IS FOR THE 12 MONTHS.
IF YOU, THE BUDGET, IF YOU DIVIDED FIVE BUDGET, IT MAY BE IN THE BUDGET, BUT ON THE LAST DAY, IF YOU HIRE SOMEONE, THEY DON'T GET $26,000 SIMPLY BUDGETED.
UH, I THINK IT'S, IT'S BUDGET RATE OF PAY IS INWEEKLY.
I MEAN, AND I, I THINK THAT DISCUSSION POINTS OUT WHY WE'RE HERE IS IT'S A NEW POSITION AND, AND IF IT'S A NEW POSITION, Y'ALL CAN SHUT THE SALARY IF IT, IF IT FITS A LOWER GOVERNMENT CODE.
AND WHICH I THINK IT DOES TO ESTABLISH A NEW POSITION.
Y'ALL SET WHATEVER SALARY YOU WANT HIS BUDGET.
IF IT'S NOT A NEW POSSESSION, WE'RE 26 2.
IF IT IS, IT'S, IT'S Y'ALL'S CALL.
AND IF IT
IF IT'S GONNA BE A NEW POSITION, I THINK IT SHOULD BE DONE DURING BUDGETING.
UH, THIS, THIS, THIS 22, THIS AGAIN, I GO BACK TO THE COST OF THE COUNTY.
I KNOW YOU HATE TO HEAR THIS ALL THE TIME, BUT EVEN AT 20, AT THE 22, IT'S ABOUT $30,000 COST OF THE COUNTY.
YOU KNOW, AT THE $40,000 RANGE, IT'S ABOUT 47,004 SEVEN COST OF THE COUNTY.
IT'S OUR MONEY THAT WE'VE GOT TO PROTECT.
AND I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST MR. MURPHY OR MR. OSTEIN.
UH, IT'S JUST THE WAY WE NEED TO HANDLE OUR, OUR AFFAIRS.
WOULD WE GET THE SAME ANSWER IF INSTEAD OF AN EMPLOYEE, I PUT HIM UNDER CONTRACT IF YOU HAVE CONTACT, AGAIN, THERE'S, THERE'S ALREADY $17,000 THAT I'M CONTRACTING TWICE THIS YEAR WITH VENDOR TO DO SO.
AL WOULD PROBABLY SAY YES AND JOHN WOULD PROBABLY SAY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO QUALIFY UNDER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT TO GET THAT GAVE HIM THAN 25? I DON'T THINK IT, I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM, BUT I DON'T THINK IT MADE THIS YEAR UNTIL WE GET TO THE NEXT BUDGET.
YEAH, I THINK IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT THROUGH THE WR OF THIS YEAR, THEN WE COULD ADDRESS IT AT THE BUDGET OF JULY.
SEE WHAT WE'RE GONNA, WE'LL ALSO KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW THE MONEY'S GONNA BE.
UH, WELL, I JUST KNOW I HAVE THESE TASKS THAT NEED DOING AND ALTHOUGH I'VE ASSIGNED HIM SOME DUTIES THAT DON'T REQUIRE HIS PARTICULAR EXPERTISE, A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT I HAVE ASSIGNED OR PROPOSED TO ASSIGNING REQUIRES THE CAPABILITY TO DEAL WITH COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, COMPUTER PEOPLE.
I THINK WE'RE STEPPING ON SOME IT TOES.
UH, IF WE START GETTING TOO FAR INTO THIS, UH, GEORGE SWEARS UP AND DOWN.
HE DOESN'T WANT ANY PART OF IT.
GEORGE GEORGE DOES NOT SWEAR UP AND DOWN.
HE'S DONE IT EVERY, I ASKED HIM TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN THIS CAME UP AND HE SAID HE DOESN'T WANT ANY PART OF IT.
UH, I'M, I'M, I'M FOR LETTING HIM, I MEAN, HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO ASK US TO HIRE 26 2.
UH, BUT ESTABLISHING A NEW, A NEW POSITION AT THAT, AT THAT RATE IS, EVEN ESTABLISHING A NEW POSITION IS A BIT MORE THAN, THAN OUR NUMBERS CAN HANDLE.
[00:45:01]
AND I CAN SEE MYSELF PUTTING, PUTTING MYSELF IN D SHOES, I SEE THE NEED FOR IT, BUT WHEN IT COMES NEXT SUMMER AND I'VE GOTTA CUT SOMEBODY LOOSE AND I'LL CUT SOMEBODY LOOSE AND TRY WORKING FOR ME.THAT'S GONNA BE A REAL HARD DECISION.
I MEAN, THAT'S GONNA BE A DECISION DO, BUT FOR ME, THAT'D BE A REAL HARD DECISION FOR ME TO DO IS LET SOMEBODY, IF SOMEBODY HAS TO GO, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA BE NEW GUY.
I LOST A GUY THREE WEEKS AGO AND I'M NOT REPLACING I UNDERSTAND.
I PREFER, PERSONALLY, I WOULD PREFER TO WAIT TILL BUDGET.
YOU GUYS NEED TO UNDERSTAND TOO, THAT COUNTY IS GROWING IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE, WHICH INCREASES THE NUMBER OF RESIDENT VOTERS AND INCREASES THE NUMBER OF TAX PAYERS BECAUSE THESE NEW PEOPLE ARE MOVING INTO SUBDIVIDED AG LAND.
SO OUR WHOLE ACTIVITY IS INCREASING A LOT.
AND THE ONLY EMPLOYEE I'VE ADDED IS ONE TO HANDLE THE FOREIGN OFFICE, WHICH DESPERATELY NEEDED IT.
SO THIS, AND WE'VE AUTHORIZED YOU TO HIRE ONE HERE TO HANDLE THIS.
AND I'M TRYING TO HANDLE TWO CREATIVE PROBLEMS. ONE, THE ACTIVITY FROM THE INCREASE REQUIRED CLERICAL WORK OR ENTRY LEVEL WORK, PLUS THE NEW DUMPING ON US.
THE ACTIVITY THAT JODY DID LAST YEAR, THERE'S A LOT TO THAT.
SHE DID IT WELL, BUT SHE CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE.
JUDGE, CAN I MAKE ONE OTHER COMMENT? MR. THE ASSISTANT DA AND I WERE DISCUSSING A POSSIBILITY THAT Y'ALL MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER AND YOU MIGHT NOT, BUT IF WE SIMULTANEOUSLY CREATE A NEW POSITION, DID AWAY WITH THE ENTRY LEVEL POSITION AND MOVE MONEY, IF HE'S GOT IT BUDGETED INTO THAT NEW POSITION WITH ZERO EFFECT ON THE BUDGET, TELL ME THAT AGAIN.
NOW, IF WE CREATE A NEW POSITION, LIKE, LIKE MR. MURPHY WANTS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY DO AWAY WITH THAT OPEN POSITION THAT HE CURRENTLY HAS OH, OKAY.
AND MOVE MONEY FROM CONTRACT LABOR INTO THE NEW POSITION, WHETHER ZERO EFFECT ON THE BUDGET.
THAT'S, THAT'S JUST LIKE HIRING AT AT 40,000.
DID, IT'S JUST A, A LEGAL WAY TO DO IT.
I MEAN, I THAT'S THAT MONEY, IF THAT MONEY IS IN THE BUDGET, YOU SAID ZERO EFFECT ON THE BUDGET.
I HAVE NOT GONE OVER THE NUMBER MR. MARK, BECAUSE I KNOW HE HAS SOME MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR CONTRACT LABOR.
HAVE BUT SEE, THIS MONEY, I'M GONNA READ JUST LIKE, IT'S LIKE IT'S WRITTEN IN THE ELECTIONS EXPENSE CONTRACT LABOR, 15,000 PART-TIME, 4,000 TAX ASSESSOR DEPARTMENT 4 99 EXTRA HELP, 31,400 AND, UH, DEPARTMENT FOUR 10 REGISTRATION, VOTER REGISTRATION, EXTRA $6,000 500 TAX ASSESSOR, OPEN POSITION 26 200.
YOU CAN TRANSFER THAT ALL AROUND.
BUT HE CAME TO US A YEAR AGO AND WANTED AN INCREASE IN ALL OF HIS CONTRACT LABOR AND PART-TIME LABOR AND OVERTIME, UH, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NEXT YEAR? I HOPE THIS SOLVES THAT PROBLEM.
WELL, JEFF, CAN I MAKE A MOTION? YES.
DON'T YOU COME BACK TUESDAY? UH, FEEL BETTER.
I THINK I MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, TRY TO IMPLEMENT WHAT HAL WAS SAYING, UH, TO ELIMINATE THAT POSITION, TRANSFER THAT MONEY INTO THE OTHER POSITION AND THEN, UH, AND THEN THAT WOULD SETTLE THAT PROBLEM UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
WELL, YOU NEED TO INCLUDE IN YOUR MOTION HOW MUCH MONEY YOU'RE GOING TO ALLOW THIS NEW POSITION TO PAID.
UH, I'LL INCLUDE THAT IN OUR HOUSE.
THE WAY YOU DID IT, HE COULD PAY HIM 65.
I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO INCLUDE 39,000 ANNUAL SALARY.
[00:50:02]
SO THREE FOURS OF 39 YEAH.IS WHAT HE'D GET PAID THIS YEAR.
YEAH, BUT LIKE, LIKE, NO, JOHN SAYS IT WOULD BE ON A, IT WOULD BE ON A, A MONTHLY BASIS, SO IT'D BE, IT'D BE GOOD.
WHATEVER THAT MONTHLY BASIS WOULD BE.
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAID.
UH, IS THAT BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING NOW? YES.
I'M, I'M SAYING THAT WOULD WORK.
I'M NOT, I NOT PROPOSING THAT, BUT, UH, I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO ELIMINATE THAT $26,000 POSITION, UH, CREATE A NEW POSITION, UH, AND AT THE SALARY OF 39,000, THEN HE TRANSFER WHATEVER MONEY HE WANTS TO CASH.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE THAT IN MY MOTION TO I THINK SO BECAUSE WE WANNA SEE ALL THE FACTS AND TRANSFER 14,000 WHATEVER OUT OF
COMMISSIONER, IF I MIGHT SUGGEST TOO, UM, IN, IN CONSIDERATION FOR THE FACT THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A NEW POSITION, WHICH IT IS AND IS COMPENSATED DIFFERENTLY THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE.
UM, I, I WOULD, UH, I I WOULD WANT YOU TO, UH, INCORPORATE BY REFERENCE THE NEW AREAS THAT ARE GOING TO BE COVERED BY THIS POSITION, UH, THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY COVERED, SUCH AS THE, THAT YOU DESCRIBED.
I'M NOT TELLING YOU TO DO IT OR NOT DO IT.
THE MOTION HERE, HERE, THE WAY IT'S ON THE AGENDA DISCUSSED EMPLOYMENT.
PHILLIP MOST NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ELECTRON EQUIPMENT, VOTER REGISTRATION RELATED SOFTWARE, PLUS VARIOUS DUTIES IN THE TAX OFFICE.
DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD COVER THE ADDITIONAL DUTIES THAT HE HAS DESCRIBED? I THINK YOU MOVED PRETTY FAR THAT ALREADY FLORIDA.
NOW I'M MAKING A MOTION FOR ELIMINATION AND YEAH, THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT, THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA.
SO WE NEED, WE CAN HAVE IT ALL WRITTEN OUT FOR US.
JOB DESCRIPTION AND DOLLAR AMOUNT.
DO WE NEED TO JUST TABLE THIS ONE AND LET IT GO AND DO THAT? OKAY.
THEN I'LL WITHDRAW MY MOTION AND MOTION TO TABLE IT UNTIL THE SPEAKERS CAN COME BACK AND SATISFY JOHN AND, UH, HAL.
IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT? COMMISSIONER SHANE WILL SECOND THAT.
ALL IN FAVOR AND TABLE THIS TODAY? AYE.
SO WE'RE GONNA TAKE A LET, UH, WORK WITH, UH, WORK WITH JOHN AND TO MAKE SURE YOU GET THANK YOU.
UH, HOW YOU HAVE THE MONTHLY REPORT FOR NOVEMBER? YES, SIR.
SINCE I'M DRAFT IN HERE, MAY I JUST PASS IT DOWN? OH, YOU, YOU GOTTA WALK ALL WE HAVE NOVEMBER BE ON MY, SEE HOW YOUR FUNDS ARE.

WE APPLIED TO PHILLIPS SALARY.I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO ADD THAT WE HAD A, A CHECK CAME IN LAST WEEK FROM, UH, UH, BIBLE THAT'S ABOUT, UH, SIX TIMES THIS ON A SIMILAR TYPE THING THAT I'LL BRING NEXT TIME.
UH, ONE THING THEY WANNA CONSIDER I FOUND KIND OF INTERESTING WAS THAT, UH, COL COUNTY, ALL THE MONEY THEY GET FROM REBATES, UH, THEY USE THAT FOR A PROGRAM FOR EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION.
THE FIVE EUROPEAN, 10 EUROPEAN, THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD PROGRAM.
OKAY, WE'RE ENTERTAIN MOTION TO ACCEPT THAT.
