Commission Meeting 9 Oct 2018
Call to order at 9 AM by Chairman Andrews, followed by and the of Allegiance.
Roll call showed all members present. The agenda was approved as printed and the previous minutes were approved with corrections.
As with the work session from yesterday, the meeting opened with another notice from Dr. Dino. This time it was a letter from his attorney (in Michigan) addressed to the Evergreen Courant with the commission “cc’ed”. I will attach it to the report just so everyone can see what a Bible Believing Attorney can say.
Payroll/personnel report:
There were no new hires this period; however, there was 1 separation from the jail.
3 hours 45 minutes of overtime required approval. Motion to approve resulted in unanimous aye ballot.
Ms. Leigh advised the commission body she had a letter from the sheriff reporting a mistake in payment to one of his deputies. He had a deputy graduated from the academy and, upon graduation, they get a pay raise. This raise was to have been put into effect on 15 September but she did not get his paperwork until 1 October and there was no additional notice of increasing his pay. The commission voted to award the pay retroactive to the date of 15 September.
Ms. Leigh noted there was some confusion in retirement pay. This confusion seems to be from a misunderstanding of how retirement pay works. She requested anyone having concerns about retirement pay be sent to her for of benefits.

More Hovind Drivel only this time it's from his attorney who does wills and divorces in MI. The Evergreen Courant may want to watch out with firepower like that!!!!!

Much like in his video blasting me, the Evergreen Courant, Robert Bozeman, Lee Peacock, I encourage everyone to call him and really blow out his phones. I suspect as many as 2 people may call which is about a like number he mustered to his side.
Here's his video. Go to the 24 minute mark to get to the part where everyone's picking on him.
