Board debates DPW mileage, access and stipends; approves irrigation and door repairs
Summary
The Board discussed multiple DPW requests: mileage reimbursement and FOC access motions were withdrawn after policy and court‑access issues; the Board approved $2,000 extra for Civic Center irrigation (total up to $11,500) and $4,222 for Kaliseum automatic door openers; action on DPW IT stipend and a generators RFP were deferred.
DPW Supervisor Tony Parcher asked the Board to authorize mileage reimbursement for after‑hours county work. Commissioners raised concerns about current policy and union rules; the motion was withdrawn pending an audit of affected employees and union contract review.
A separate motion to allow DPW to coordinate with courts for access to the FOC was withdrawn after Court Administrator Teresa Hill said federal and state rules prohibit certain access and that authorized court staff must accompany maintenance personnel for security reasons.
The Board approved an additional $2,000 for Civic Center irrigation (bringing an authorization to a cost not to exceed $11,500) and authorized $4,222 from GL #585‑805‑934.000 to replace Kaliseum automatic door openers. Commissioners also discussed issuing an RFP for building generators but withdrew the motion to advertise pending further review of ARPA and county‑wide improvement funds. A separate motion to consider an IT stipend for DPW was deferred for a forthcoming stipend review.
