PSA rejects move to make staffer full time; consent agenda passes
Summary
The Carroll County Public Service Authority approved the consent agenda but voted down a motion to convert a PSA part‑time staffer ("Mister Cones") to full time amid budget concerns; the board also approved adjournment unanimously.
The Carroll County Public Service Authority approved its consent agenda and later rejected a proposal to convert an identified part‑time PSA employee to full time.
At the start of new business, Speaker 8 moved to make "Mister Cones" a full‑time employee; Speaker 2 seconded. The board debated whether the PSA or departmental leadership should hire staff and whether budget support existed. Speaker 3 stated plainly, "PSA don't have no money." When the roll was called the motion failed: Jessup — No; Bryant — No; Collins — No; Dixon — Yes; Slate — No; Chair — No. Speaker 1 announced, "Motion has failed."
Earlier in the meeting Speaker 2 moved to approve the consent agenda items a, b and c together and Speaker 3 seconded. The chair called votes and recorded five yes votes (Jessup, Blake, Bryant, Collins and the chair) with one member absent (Dixon); the consent agenda passed.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn that carried unanimously. The board did not adopt any personnel changes or budget reallocations at this meeting.
Ending: The failed personnel motion leaves the employee's status unchanged; the board asked that department heads be consulted about staffing and budget implications before any future personnel actions.
