County staff to bring budget amendments and personnel policy updates to next meeting
Summary
The county attorney and staff identified several personnel policy updates (temporary supervisor authority, overtime rules for election duty, worker's‑comp follow‑up time) and a set of budget requests for next meeting (CPR supplies $659.20, Coosa Valley $5,000 grant, requested disbursement $29,638 to law enforcement‑related firms, subscription renewals). Commissioners directed staff to prepare formal agenda items and budget amendments where required.
Kirk Walker, the county attorney, outlined proposed personnel‑manual updates and policy clarifications for commission review: revisions would clarify supervisor authority to temporarily assign employees to work during absences until the next regularly scheduled commission meeting (replacing a 10‑day limit), allow overtime for election‑related duties as approved by the probate judge or department heads, and permit workers’‑comp follow‑up appointments to be treated as work time when documented by the treating physician.
On budget matters, staff presented a string of requests to add to Tuesday’s agenda: a purchase of CPR/AED training supplies for $659.20, a Coosa Valley RCMD grant request for $5,000 (100% reimbursable) to distribute smoke detectors and rain gauges, a proposed resolution authorizing disbursement of $29,638 tied to ADOC/revenue receipts, an annual pistol‑permit subscription of $3,000 (budgeted), and smaller service agreements. Commissioners discussed whether some reimbursements date to prior fiscal years and the need for budget amendments; staff said they will prepare required amendments and include these items on the regular meeting agenda.
Next steps: staff will draft policy language for the personnel manual changes and prepare formal budget amendments and resolution language for commission action at the next meeting.
