V V V N~F~ Coimni.ssioner Llpyd expressed concern for making the three additional positions in the Sheriff's office permanent and suggested making the positions temporary until budget time and then reevaluate the situation and, if necessary, make them permanent at that time. Chair wil].h~oit mooted that in the recruitment process, it is desirable to advertise the positions as permanent. Ccmanissioner Carey noted that i.f the County is goirtt~ to invest in training new personnel, the County should plan on keeping those people. Chair Willhoit indicated and Sheriff Pendergrass confirmed that if there is a surplus of deputies at budget time, the staffing needs would be evaluated at that time. Sheriff Pendergrass emlahasizEd there is no danger of overbite because of the turnover within the deparlnnent. Motion was made by Coamd.ssioner Marshall, secorr]ed by Ccatmiissioner Carey to amerxl the 1985-86 budgek as fo7.lows: Appropriation-Sheriff S 60,60 Source-'transfer from Capital Projects Fund S 11,500 Source Transfer from AWI Safe Roads Act $ 26,500 Source-Contingency S 22,Ab0 VCmE: UI~,NIl~lOUS. Commissioner Marshall requested that newly appointed members be added to the policy. She questioned how a requirement that an absent Board member review all docw~ntary evidence presented and hear all testimonial evidence by listening to the tapes of the Public &earing mould be verified. County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill indicated that at the time the requirement has been met, it could be so doted in the minutes. He noted that it is each Board mEtnbers duty to vote on everything that ones before the Board in which they don't have a financial interest. The point is that when you are considering matters for which evidence is taken and sitting in a quasi-judicial capacity, you need to know what the evidence is before you can take part in the decisions. If you miss part of the public hearing then it • becaanes a Board policy to exclude you fro:a voting or establish a policy by which you become familiar with the item. Motion was made by Caimissioner Carey, seconded by Ca:tut~.issioner Marshall to adapt the recc~metx7ation of the County P,ttorney to "authorize the Board member to vote an such an issue with the requirement that the absent Board member review all of the documentary evidence presented and hear all of the testimonial evidence by listening to the tapes of the Public Hearin" as the official policy in situations where a member of the Board does not attend a public hearing.
