7. REQUEST FOR POLICY EXCEPTION CONCERNING TWO CORPORALS WITHIN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE: Mr. Gluckman stated that two employees at the Sheriff's Department were hired at the same time, at the same pay rate and that both received promotions at the same time. However, Deputy Shellhammer received his promotional increase but not his merit increase, which is typically due on an employee's anniversary date. Mr. Gluckman requested the Board approve an exception to policy 331.5B (II)(H)(1)(c) since it was not intended that Deputy Shellhammer not receive a 5% merit increase. Much discussion ensued regarding a merit increase vs. a cost of living increase vs. a performance increase.

MOTION

Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve an exception to County Policy 331.5B (II)(H)(1)(c) and increase Deputy Shellhammer's pay to the same level as Deputy Feyen retroactive to December 15, 2002.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

8. REVIEW OF BOARD AND COMMISSIONS APPLICATIONS: Ms. Keen reviewed applications and potential re-appointments to Boards and Commissions with the Board.

Mr. Gluckman informed the Board that the District Attorney and Assistant District Attorney's would be allowed the option to participate in PERA- Public Employee Retirement Association or the County retirement plan. Mr. Gluckman noted that this option could have a financial impact to the County.

Mr. Gluckman stated that SB 252 would allow the State to decide placement of offenders into the community correction environment, thus by-passing the Community Correction Board's review. Mr. Gluckman noted that the Community Correction Board is requesting the Commissioners take a formal position opposing this bill.

MOTION

Commissioner Gibson moved that the Board of County Commissioners oppose SB 252 and authorize the Chair to contact local Representatives.

Motion carried 3 - 0.

10. COMMISSIONER REPORTS: The Board noted their attendance at events the past two weeks.
