BOARD OF FRANKLIN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

 

The Board of Commissioners met in a regular session with Chairman John E. Taylor and Commissioners Fred E. Ferguson, Donald C. Hay, Donald R. Stottlemire and Donald E. Waymire present.  

 

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Taylor at 8:30.

 

Steve Brown discussed a 1992 Ford Taurus that the Appraiser’s Office has.  The air conditioner doesn’t work and the estimated cost to repair it is $800.  Steve said it also has some other problems.  Chairman Taylor said that he thinks we have gotten the use out of it and need to replace it.  Board asked Steve to prepare a solicitation of bid to purchase a new or newer used vehicle.  Commissioner Stottlemire asked about the maintenance department using the Jeep that the Appraiser’s Office has.  Steve said he would talk to Darrell Wadkins about it.

 

Commissioner Hay moved and Commissioner Ferguson seconded to approve tax orders 2003-195 through 2003-198.  All voted “yes.”

 

Commissioner Waymire moved and Commissioner Hay seconded to approve payroll changes 04-294 for Amy McFadden with 911, 04-297 for Kevin McAdoo with Juvenile Detention, 04-298 for Jesse Smith with Juvenile Detention, 04-299 for Donald Warren, Jr. with Juvenile Detention, 04-300 for Rebecca Roehl with Juvenile Detention and 04-301 for Jesse Maddox with Services for the Elderly.  All voted “yes.”

 

Shari Perry discussed holiday pay for employees that are required to work on holidays.  Shari said she had been contacted by some employees about the July 4th holiday.  The employees that were required to work on July 4th did not get paid holiday pay because the holiday for the 4th was designated as the 5th by the Board of County Commissioners.  The employees that worked on the 5th received the holiday pay.  The employees that had to work on the 4th did not think it was fair for the employees that could not spend time with their families on the 4th and didn’t receive holiday pay, but the employee that got to stay at home with their families on the 4th and work on the 5th received holiday pay.  The Board asked Shari to e-mail the other County Clerk in the state and find out how they handle employees that have to work 24-7.  Shari said that the Board would need to consider other departments that may get called out on a holiday like December 25 which this year falls on a Saturday, but the designated holiday is December 24.  If an employee is called out on December 25 they would not receive holiday pay, because it is not a designated holiday.

 

Commissioner Hay moved and Commissioner Waymire seconded to approve the minutes for July 28, 2004.  All voted “yes.”

 

Barbara Conus discussed Mary Ryburn and Becky Hastings attending a conference in Wichita on the Prevention of Child Abuse & Neglect and a nurse and one office staff employee attending the annual KDHE Immunization Conference in Wichita and Alan Radcliffe attending an Agri-Bio Terrorism training in Topeka.

 

Commissioner Hay moved and Commissioner Ferguson seconded to approve the Prevention of Child Abuse & Neglect Conference, the annual KDHE Immunization Conference and the Agi-Bio Terrorism training.  All voted “yes.”

 

Barbara Conus discussed purchasing a new refrigerator for the Health Department for vaccines.  The estimated cost for a refrigerator large enough is $1,700 without shipping.  Kansas Department of Health Environment will pay a portion of the cost. 

 

Commissioner Stottlemire moved and Commissioner Hay seconded to waive the bidding process and allow the purchase of a new refrigerator from Sears for approximately $1,700 with the State of Kansas reimbursing about $800.  All voted “yes.”

 

Barbara Conus discussed purchasing a computer for the lab.  Barbara wants to purchase a laptop and printer.  This computer is needed because KDHE is instituting an online process to submit and receive lab reports.  Board asked Barb to talk to Jason Parks about purchasing a desk top computer instead of a laptop.  Barbara said that they do not have much room in the lab. 

 

Barbara Conus discussed offering free tetanus immunizations for children 14-18 years old for the months of August and September or until the 100 doses of tetanus are gone.  Board agreed.
