[4:38] look mike go ahead mike uh uh this is

[4:41] for the

[4:42] human resources director um

[4:45] so it's a it's not even correct anything

[4:48] wrong but it's a

[4:50] it's for the uh it's a proposed shower

[4:52] increase it looks like

[4:55] yeah because but kim was not able to use

[4:58] uh

[4:58] certain top time because her duties at

[5:01] the county

[5:03] yes that my apologies yes she was unable

[5:06] to

[5:07] use given in light of all the code of 19

[5:09] related activities she's been doing that

[5:11] it

[5:11] was not prudent and she did not feel

[5:14] comfortable taking

[5:14] time away so this is being able to

[5:16] compensate her for her

[5:18] um unused vacation time for paid time

[5:20] off

[5:21] it's not an additional appropriation and

[5:24] she found the money within her budget so

[5:25] it's just

[5:27] take care of that there's no additional

[5:28] cause

[5:33] any questions from council

[5:38] i open a public hearing on 39 20. does

[5:41] anyone wish to speak

[5:53] 3920 was for a safety risk manager

[5:59] oh no that's 40 20.

[6:02] yeah that's not just that's 41 mark

[6:04] that's one coming up

[6:06] yes that's the next one

[6:11] thank you always one step ahead aren't

[6:12] you

[6:14] i just didn't get the audio on the phone

[6:16] again but i just

[6:18] woke up any other questions on 39.20

[6:23] hearing none does anyone wish to wish to

[6:26] speak in favor of this bill

[6:30] does anyone wish to speak in opposition

[6:32] of the bill

[6:35] here right now i'll close the public

[6:36] hearing on 39 20.

[6:40] [Applause]

[6:43] it looks like you are uh

[6:46] do i hear a motion

[6:58] do i hear a second

[7:16] this bill

[7:19] who is this kelly's even

[7:24] who i heard

[7:31] please please please state your name for

[7:33] the record

[7:35] carol kelly heavens 12 o'clock

[7:38] timberline trace north and granger all

[7:42] right

[7:44] i'm clearly going to make the same

[7:46] general comment

[7:48] for most of the salary bills

[7:51] i think we all need a little

[7:54] help to get through the the thing

[7:57] the shutdown but i think we have to be

[8:00] very careful

[8:03] not using a lot of taxpayer funds right

[8:06] now

[8:07] especially for people that are not

[8:11] working because the taxpayers aren't

[8:14] working

[8:15] either and they're going to have trouble

[8:17] coming up with these funds

[8:19] so i think we need to

[8:23] look twice at each of these items and

[8:25] even if

[8:26] the money is still in the budget that

[8:28] might be because

[8:30] it didn't get spent on what it was

[8:32] originally intended to be spent on

[8:35] and we have to be really careful

[8:39] um not not creating a whole host of

[8:42] expenditures here that are just going to

[8:45] put our county in

[8:46] a bad position that the taxpayers are

[8:49] then going to have

[8:50] real trouble um

[8:53] doing anything helpless because they're

[8:55] in a bad position too

[8:57] so that that's my my general congress

[9:01] thank you thank you very much

[9:28] conversation speak for or against the

[12:57] salaries of 40 to 50 for that budgeted

[13:00] position

[13:03] kim do you want to give the background

[13:04] of why this is necessary

[13:07] hold on hold on hold on andy hold on hold on

[13:11] okay let me back up enough for the

[13:13] record 39 20 was passed by a vote of

[13:15] eight to one and i need to commit a

[13:18] report

[13:19] from miss hess on 40 20.

[13:22] okay mr president bill number 40 20 came

[13:25] to the full council without

[13:26] recommendation

[13:28] thank you very much okay

[13:31] mr mr castellny

[13:35] after ken do you want to start us off

[13:37] and i'll

[13:38] finish it okay

[13:41] kim karkowicz human resource director st

[13:44] joseph county

[13:46] offices at 227 west jefferson

[13:49] 7th floor this is a position that was

[13:52] budgeted for 2020

[13:55] for the county to have a centralized

[13:57] safety

[13:58] program and a safety risk manager to

[14:02] implement that the budget was approved

[14:06] i have been interviewing since the

[14:08] beginning of the year

[14:10] diligently finding the proper candidate

[14:14] for the county and all of the entities

[14:16] that we have

[14:18] and the needs that we would have i have

[14:20] found a candidate that would

[14:22] fit and would be able to actually exceed

[14:26] what we are needing to do especially in

[14:28] this time

[14:30] where we have safety as a big priority

[14:33] here within the county as the employees

[14:36] are returning to work along with

[14:38] the public coming into our buildings

[14:41] it is a position that was budgeted there

[14:44] is no

[14:45] additional money needed for this year

[14:48] for this position

[14:52] this is commissioner andy felning

[14:54] officer on the seventh floor of the

[14:55] county city building

[14:57] i will also add that the reason why

[14:59] there's nothing added for

[15:02] the year 2020 because the amount was

[15:05] budgeted but yet

[15:06] filled so the remaining amount in there

[15:09] would cover for this year and then

[15:13] moving forward

[15:13] 2021 beyond one of the the things that

[15:17] we

[15:17] also identify from a safety standpoint

[15:20] is we would need to do trainings

[15:22] for our employees and different

[15:23] department heads and other things

[15:25] and this individual if hired would be

[15:28] able to do those things if you would not

[15:30] have to outsource that piece or

[15:32] pay a third party to do so so it would

[15:35] actually at the

[15:35] minimum it would be a

[15:39] state revenue neutral moving forward and

[15:41] it could possibly

[15:42] be i'm sorry budget savings as well

[15:47] answer any question any questions from

[15:50] council

[15:51] from foreign

[16:02] [Music]

[16:07] you have for this position do they have

[16:09] a background in

[16:11] or industrial hygiene or what is their

[16:14] background is actually in

[16:17] municipalities

[16:19] and has over 10 years

[16:23] this person is taking quite a bit of a

[16:25] cut in salary from where they're going

[16:27] to start off as a new venture so

[16:31] the the project was something that would

[16:33] move them

[16:35] to make that move we just needed a

[16:37] little bit more

[16:39] to meet in the middle

[16:43] understood so they don't necessarily

[16:45] have any the same experience

[16:47] with safety programs or implementation

[16:50] of safety strategies they have implemented

[16:54] a whole safety program for another

[16:56] municipality

[16:58] that had the same needs that we have

[17:02] in our highway and you know other

[17:06] avenues that we have here

[17:08] that that we need to have done

[17:12] okay all right thank you

[17:19] any other questions from council

[17:22] yes mr morton is mr nolan mr nolan

[17:26] um either kim or mr costellny

[17:30] can you expand a little bit on the

[17:32] training that this person would be able

[17:33] to provide

[17:35] so the osha requirements for training

[17:39] this person is a certified trainer for

[17:42] osha

[17:43] which we would need to get our county

[17:45] employees trained

[17:47] in either the 10 hour or 30 hour session

[17:51] that is just one of the major trainings

[17:54] that need to be completed

[17:57] and given the price point that we were

[17:59] looking to hire it's difficult to find

[18:01] someone

[18:02] that has that level of expertise to

[18:04] provide the training so what was

[18:05] originally identified is to try and keep

[18:07] the salary amount lower

[18:09] was to allow um we would just outsource

[18:12] that particular piece of this if we can

[18:13] find someone for that amount of money

[18:15] that's why we anticipated being an

[18:17] actual revenue

[18:19] at least neutral if not a savings

[18:23] i understand that's kind of what i was

[18:24] asking what those

[18:26] other than osha 10 or and or osha 30 are

[18:29] there other

[18:30] training classes that this person is

[18:32] currently

[18:33] capable of providing i'm just trying to

[18:36] get my head wrapped around

[18:37] what that savings would be and not hire

[18:39] the trainer active shooter is something

[18:42] that they

[18:42] have implemented in the past for

[18:45] multiple locations

[18:47] which is something that we still need to

[18:48] do here at the county also

[18:54] okay

[18:58] any other questions from council

[19:05] hearing none will not open the public

[19:06] hearing on bill 4020.

[19:08] does anyone wish to speak in favor of

[19:10] this bill

[19:15] does anyone wish to speak in opposition

[19:17] of the bill

[19:23] hearing none i'll close the public

[19:24] hearing on bill 40 20.

[19:27] do i hear a motion

[19:30] mr morgan pastor nolan

[19:34] i would uh i got one comment that i'd

[19:36] like to make a motion if there

[19:38] just real quick math here i don't know

[19:40] how many exactly how many employees

[19:41] would need

[19:41] osha 30 but at 200 employees that's 30

[19:45] grand

[19:46] so it would be a significant savings so

[19:49] over and above what this is causing so i

[19:51] make a motion in favor

[19:53] do i hear a second second marcus android

[19:59] motion to pass bill number 4020 was met

[20:01] by councilman nolan it was seconded by

[25:10] what is it what is the total cost of

[25:17] money for it but what is the cost of it

[25:24] mr carlton i didn't hear the question mr

[25:29] morton

[25:29] he said councilman feil said what is the

[25:32] cost

[25:33] of this appropriation uh 2500

[25:37] we are moving it from um since our

[25:39] salaries are mandated by the state we

[25:41] hired someone in a different account

[25:43] that has less years of experience so

[25:45] that way there's a surplus

[25:47] and as a result of shifting those

[25:49] additional duties

[25:51] because we've taken one executive

[25:53] position away and just made it a line

[25:54] officer

[25:55] those funds are going to um going over

[25:58] to her salary as a result of those

[25:59] additional duties

[26:00] yeah okay appreciate that you know it's

[26:02] another 500

[26:04] items so it's not it's not like some of

[26:06] the other

[26:07] much higher cost items we might want to

[26:10] be considering

[27:45] number 2920 was passed by a vote of

[27:48] eight to one

[27:51] clerk will you please read the next bill number 2820

[27:56] according to many mornings any 19 the

[27:58] same thing in order that's establishing

[28:00] salaries the number of employees

[28:02] essentially this kind of year 2020

[28:03] petitioners

[28:04] honor and commissioners

[28:09] miss fast committee before please uh mr

[28:12] president bill number 2820 comes with a

[28:14] full council with a favorite

[28:15] favorable recommendation

[28:27] okay petitioner

[28:31] president morgan this is danny costello

[28:33] again officers remaining on the seventh

[28:35] floor of the county city building

[28:37] um if you recall this is part of the erp

[28:41] and bree roberts um and

[28:44] um john butler

[28:47] were have been part of the uh

[28:52] i don't have it part of the

[28:53] implementation piece

[28:55] and the expectation initially with erp

[28:58] so we were going to hire program manager

[29:00] an implementation manager who would kind

[29:02] of take on those paths and those

[29:03] functions

[29:04] and as a result we decided to go in a

[29:06] different direction

[29:07] so as a result bree

[29:11] and other employees have taken on their

[29:14] kind of outside their normal

[29:15] job responsibilities so we are looking

[29:17] to compensate them for additional time

[29:19] because they're working

[29:21] over and above the number of hours that

[29:23] they have to work on a regular basis

[29:25] taking care of these tasks

[29:27] and i'm into still an overall cost

[29:29] savings from an implementation

[29:31] standpoint

[29:32] then paying one or two salaries people

[29:38] just

[29:40] any questions from council yeah uh

[29:43] councilman style

[29:44] um i thought that i thought that we

[29:47] already voted on this i thought that

[29:49] this increase for brie was already a

[29:51] matter on the table and that was voted

[29:53] yes

[29:54] is that wrong i believe

[29:57] it was it came out of committee i

[29:59] believe we discussed it at city

[30:00] and it received a favor a favorable

[30:02] recommendation

[30:04] but i believe this is the fourth action

[30:07] okay yeah that's correct okay it was

[30:10] just

[30:11] i guess what the answer is it was

[30:12] discussed but not voted on by the

[30:14] council

[30:15] because it seems like we didn't post it

[30:18] yep but by the full council correct it

[30:19] was just voted on by that particular

[30:21] committee

[30:22] yeah okay thanks

[30:25] any other questions from council

[30:32] hearing on offer the public hearing on

[30:33] bill 2820

[30:35] does anyone wish to speak in favor of

[30:36] this bill

[30:38] does anyone wish to speak in opposition

[30:40] to the bill

[30:44] hearing none i'll close the public

[30:45] hearing on 28 20 do i hear a motion

[30:53] i'd like to make a motion that it uh

[30:56] actually starts april 1

[30:59] this year i'm gonna go back to uh

[31:03] january 1. been prorated for this amount

[31:07] for the rest of this year

[31:09] and we'll discuss i would certainly

[31:12] assume that if this passes that we would

[31:13] do it next year but we'll discuss that

[31:15] at budget time

[31:18] there's a motion on the floor to uh

[31:21] pass with stipulation of starting april

[31:24] one

[31:26] and then uh if it does pass look into

[31:29] next year's

[31:30] at budget time do i hear seconds of that

[31:31] motion

[31:33] second one second who said second first

[31:38] bobby bobby okay motion

[31:41] capacitor number twenty eight twenty was

[31:43] married by councilman nolan it was

[31:44] seconded by

[31:45] councilman krazinski any further

[31:48] comments from council

[31:49] on 2820 i have a question mr morgan

[31:53] marcus just to clarify

[31:57] mr nolan's motion was to begin this

[32:01] pay structure at april one versus going

[32:04] all the way back to january so

[32:06] not the full amount um what they asked

[32:09] him was

[32:10] with a 10 000 or 7500 they were asking

[32:12] for

[32:14] it was ten thousand correct yes so that

[32:17] so it wouldn't necessarily be a full ten

[32:19] thousand it would be

[32:20] one quarter essentially one quarter or

[32:22] less than what they're asking

[32:23] am i correct correct

[32:26] okay that was my intent actually this is

[32:30] it's actually not 10 000 for her

[32:33] to push the salary from 43

[32:37] 693 to 50 so not 10 000 for her the

[32:40] other

[32:41] four thousand is for i'm assuming it's

[32:44] ryan

[32:45] he's up there is that correct

[32:48] that would be underlying and then taxes

[32:51] and then perf

[32:53] so i thought i thought mr costelli

[32:56] mentioned down carlson

[32:58] yeah i i mentioned john butler but i

[33:01] misspoke

[33:02] or john i'm sorry john butler is already

[33:06] at this

[33:08] that's where his salaries my project

[33:10] manager's assisting he's working degree

[33:13] so he hit his uh salary is not being

[33:16] amended at all

[33:18] my issue with degree in these folks is

[33:21] they've been doing this since

[33:22] i think the reason they put it the

[33:23] commissioners had to go back to january

[33:25] first

[33:26] andy jump in if you can or john murphy

[33:28] that

[33:29] um you guys have been john you've been

[33:32] dealing with it more than i have

[33:33] that they have been working since

[33:35] january on this

[33:40] well i know it's going pretty hot and

[33:41] heavy right now we're getting the chart

[33:43] of accounts all

[33:44] set up and we just had a meeting today

[33:46] on the general ledger with bree

[33:49] myself and katie in our office

[33:52] so they're putting a lot of work on it i

[33:53] don't remember exactly when they started

[33:56] but

[33:56] they're certainly working hard on it now

[34:00] it was early in the year and i mean

[34:02] that's kind of the point is i understand

[34:03] that it's

[34:05] now is they're doing a lot i mean i

[34:08] think the thought process that wasn't really

[34:12] full bore

[34:13] january 1 a compromise to get

[34:17] something because i think they're

[34:18] absolutely going to be working harder

[34:20] doing extra duties for the rest of this

[34:21] year and

[34:22] i fully expect that to be next year as

[34:23] well

[34:31] any other comments from council

[34:35] are we going to discover uh discuss on

[34:37] the amended resolution or how do we

[34:39] handle

[34:40] mr nolan's input

[34:43] his motion his motion was basically to

[34:46] start it april 1.

[34:48] so that's the motion on the floor the

[34:50] one that's on the floor is april 1.

[34:52] right the motion in a second on the

[46:47] will continue

[46:48] we will have to transport other

[46:51] individuals from other facilities

[46:53] here to our facility which again

[46:55] increases our

[49:04] and for all of his officers and staff

[49:07] really appreciate the officers up here

[49:10] in granger

[49:11] um if this is an issue of fairness

[49:17] we're all dealing with the extra hazards

[49:19] or the covered liars

[49:21] right now um

[49:24] these officers face greater hazards than

[49:27] i ever face

[49:28] knowing that they walk into potentially

[49:31] a loaded gun behind the door

[49:34] i think they they are already receiving

[49:37] hazard pay in their salary

[49:42] meanwhile all of us that worry about

[49:46] um exposure to the virus

[49:50] which i think in the end we're going to

[49:51] find this a lot less severe than

[49:55] all of the heights but

[49:58] at any rate um

[50:01] all of us face that hazard and we're not

[50:04] getting the increase in pay

[50:08] all of the delivery people that keep

[50:10] bringing stuff to our

[50:12] doors and and people who bring stuff to

[50:14] the

[50:15] supermarkets and people working in all

[50:18] of these places

[50:20] are not getting any hazard pay as a

[50:22] matter of fact

[50:23] they're lucky if they're getting their

[50:24] usual pay

[50:27] they just don't have the advantage of

[50:31] somebody else's money that that can be

[50:34] put

[50:35] toward giving young extra money and of

[50:38] course government always has

[50:40] access to the taxpayers money

[50:44] so in in the interest of fairness i

[50:47] don't think we should be giving

[50:49] any

[51:02] thank you thank you very much

[51:06] is there anyone else that wishes to

[51:07] speak in opposition of bill 4320

[51:11] yes sir versus mike cannon i have a i

[51:15] just have a clarification in terms of

[51:17] what you all are voting on

[51:20] are you voting at the fifteen percent

[51:23] increase or ten percent or five or a

[51:25] bonus can you

[51:26] clarify that for me

[51:33] we haven't had a motion yet the bill

[51:36] before us is 15

[51:38] there is no motion here

[51:42] is there anyone i wish anyone else that

[51:43] wishes to speak in opposition to 4320

[51:46] mr file first first has to do with

[51:49] procedure

[51:50] um i thought the council met on this and

[51:53] i thought the council sent this to

[51:56] committee without recommendation

[51:59] i thought then we did i thought

[52:06] it was it was sent to the full council

[52:08] without a recommendation

[52:10] and now it's up for a vote with

[52:13] amongst the full council but i thought

[52:17] it went back to a committee uh could have been the

[52:20] budget

[52:21] no no no well i thought we did we

[52:25] definitely said

[52:26] something without recommendation

[52:29] we sent it to the full we sent it to the

[52:32] full council

[52:33] without a recommendation

[52:36] i thought the whole council was there

[52:39] that was that i was at the committee

[52:41] meeting

[52:45] i'm surprised because i'm not on a

[52:46] committee

[52:47] [Music]

[52:49] okay uh having said that um

[52:54] two three things that i would comment

[52:56] about

[52:58] uh the first one is yes this has nothing

[53:01] to do with the safety of the police officers um

[53:06] if we were by bulletproof vests if we

[53:08] were to spend this kind of money on the

[53:11] crisis or include some other things in

[53:13] the health department

[53:15] this would improve the uh safety of the

[53:18] police officers so this has nothing to

[53:20] do with the safety of the police officer

[53:22] it is a it is a new way to make more

[53:25] money

[53:26] and it may or may not have merit but it

[53:28] has nothing to do with the safety of the

[53:30] officers

[53:31] secondly uh if we go down this path we

[53:35] cannot just add 157

[53:37] people across the six hundred thousand

[53:39] dollars we gotta add

[53:41] everybody in the nursing home we gotta

[53:43] add everybody in the health department

[53:45] we've got to add everybody else who can

[53:48] make the same case

[53:50] and that that i think i think i'm

[53:53] willing to have accounting people

[53:55] give us the number but i think that

[53:57] would take this for at least a million

[53:59] dollars if we apply the same

[54:01] principle to other people who have to

[54:03] take

[54:04] uh regular part of our stuff

[54:08] what could be complicated

[54:22] that

[54:36] for

[55:00] but i think the public opinion of the

[55:02] police department and the public

[55:17] and so for us

[55:46] go ahead

[55:50] i'll reference something around six

[55:52] hundred thousand dollars

[55:54] and johnny look these calculations are

[55:56] correct

[55:57] and sheriff red and his calculations are

[56:00] correct

[56:01] they're talking to 323 employees

[56:05] 121 merit officers 21 folks the

[56:08] courthouse

[56:11] other staff 179 so when you figure all

[56:14] the benefits in which is what you asked

[56:16] us to do

[56:17] what you're voting on for the police

[56:19] department

[56:20] is the total would be 701

[56:24] 564 000 701

[56:28] 564. thank you mr hammond

[56:32] mr president in other words right in

[56:33] other words we're asking

[56:39] new money

[56:42] did you hear that mr hammond yes uh yes

[56:46] that is correct 700 000 of no money yes also mr hammond

[56:51] does that include the people

[56:53] at the nursing home who uh everybody is

[56:56] overseas

[57:00] well no i mean we're not in charge of

[57:04] nursing homes but

[57:06] uh to that end the uh john murphy and

[57:09] steve dalton and i

[57:11] tried to consider other folks that might

[57:14] think of themselves as in the line of

[57:16] fire

[57:16] if you will and you know the list isn't

[57:20] exclusive but

[57:22] there are other people i'm sure that

[57:23] will come back you mentioned the health

[57:25] department i can

[57:26] you've talked about others that might be

[57:28] coming back and saying well we you

[57:29] should deserve

[57:30] hazard phase 2 and john murphy to the

[57:33] best of his ability

[57:35] that at uh that could be another 1.7

[57:38] million dollars

[57:40] if you say yes 2.7 million

[57:43] if you say yes to everybody if you come

[57:45] back and you say yes to the jjc and yes

[57:48] you are you know to the to the uh health

[57:51] department that is yes to a pea chef and

[57:53] yes

[57:54] but yeah i mean conceivably so you know

[57:57] that's worst case scenario

[58:01] mr president

[58:04] uh hi uh i'm i want to state that i'm

[58:08] generally in favor of some kind of

[58:10] hazard compensation

[58:11] for uh county employees

[58:14] at most risk however i think

[58:17] that we need a lot more in-depth

[58:19] discussion and

[58:20] uh research into the matter before we

[58:24] vote on this matter so i would like to

[58:26] make a motion to send it back to

[58:27] committee

[58:29] [Music]

[58:31] there's a motion on the floor made by ms

[58:33] hass to send bill number 43-20

[58:37] back to committee i believe a second was

[58:38] made by

[58:41] bobby mr krazinski

[58:45] so there's a motion on the floor to send

[58:47] bill 4320 back to committee

[58:49] made by ms hess and it was seconded by

[58:52] mr krasinski any further comments on

[58:54] 4320

[58:56] mr morgan mr katan's right i just want

[58:59] to

[58:59] comment i i applaud sheriff redmond for

[59:04] going out and going up to bad for his

[59:06] first employees

[59:08] and i don't dispute that they're not at

[59:11] more increased risk with this cobit 19

[59:14] virus

[59:15] but i do agree with council member pass

[59:18] and also others who have mentioned that

[59:21] there probably are other county

[59:22] employees that are at risk

[59:24] at varying levels um maybe not as much

[59:27] as a police officer but at a different

[59:28] level

[59:28] but i think i applaud the sheriff for

[59:31] bringing this to our attention there are

[59:33] other

[59:34] municipalities in the state and in the

[59:36] country that are

[59:37] considering things such as hazard fee

[59:39] like this

[59:41] and um i think if we give it more

[59:43] thought take it back to committee

[59:45] i think we probably need to think about

[59:46] all the other county employees that

[59:48] are at risk or at an increased risk and

[59:50] at what degree of risk they're at

[59:52] and make it an all-inclusive bill if

[59:55] we're going to do it

[59:56] if we are actually going to do it let's

[59:57] make it all inclusive bill that includes

[1:00:00] all county employees that are at risk

[1:00:03] and at whatever degree of risk they're

[1:00:05] at

[1:00:05] and offer some form of compensation dish

[1:00:08] those um not just the county police

[1:00:10] officers but others that are at risk too

[1:00:12] so

[1:00:12] i concur with council member kardinsky

[1:00:16] and council member hassan

[1:00:17] returned this back to committee for

[1:00:18] further study but you want the sheriff

[1:00:21] and his employees to know that

[1:00:22] this request has not fallen on deaf ears

[1:00:24] and we're giving it more thought and

[1:00:26] more consideration

[1:00:28] any of the comments from council

[1:00:32] hearing none collectively please take

[1:00:34] the role

[1:00:37] this vote is to return 4320 back to

[1:00:39] committee

[1:04:59] thank you that concludes public hearing

[1:05:04] for this evening next on the agenda is

[1:05:06] miscellaneous items

[1:05:09] yes councilman morton yes

[1:05:12] andy castell um i had a question

[1:05:16] um during the committee meeting last a

[1:05:18] couple of weeks ago we had discussed

[1:05:21] on the possibility of here of having

[1:05:24] first reading and also taking action

[1:05:26] on what i believe is bill 4620

[1:05:31] and kind of modifying the emergency pace

[1:05:35] functions

[1:05:36] being used to complicate our facility

[1:05:38] through the kobe 19 thing as we were

[1:05:40] beginning

[1:05:41] county offices and ran back

[1:05:45] the thought was by multiple attorneys

[1:05:49] that we take action and we speak that so

[1:05:51] we can move

[1:05:52] forward

[1:06:01] i don't know if you had plans on

[1:06:07] mr morgan yes i i presume that

[1:06:10] councilman is referring to the uh

[1:06:12] ordinance today we got emailed

[1:06:14] the draft ordinance by peter augustine

[1:06:26] suspend our rules and have unanimous

[1:06:30] agreements that we would get willing to

[1:06:32] do that in order to move that forward is

[1:06:34] that right

[1:06:35] yes no that i know what he's asking

[1:06:40] mr trebow yes

[1:06:46] so we we would need to have a unanimous

[1:06:48] vote to suspend the rules

[1:06:51] that's correct

[1:06:55] do i hear a motion to suspend the rules

[1:06:57] to vote this evening on 46

[1:06:59] 20. mr morgan yes

[1:07:03] did mr triple get a chance to review

[1:07:05] that ordinance

[1:07:11] i did it works in concert with the

[1:07:13] previous two ordinances we passed

[1:07:17] for purposes of stay-at-home pay

[1:07:19] emergency pay etc

[1:07:21] since we have some employees working in

[1:07:23] the building some at home

[1:07:25] some remote this is part of the phase

[1:07:27] back of the employees

[1:07:29] it is consistent with what we're trying

[1:07:30] to do

[1:07:35] i i heard you say you worked on the

[1:07:37] previous two did you get a chance to

[1:07:38] review the one that was emailed to us on

[1:07:40] friday

[1:07:41] yes are you you're a part of that

[1:07:44] yes yes okay

[1:07:54] so so and we need to take a vote

[1:07:58] to have a unanimous decision whether we

[1:08:00] are going to suspend the rules to vote

[1:08:01] on 46 20 this evening

[1:08:04] mr martin yes

[1:08:07] given that the county will be reopening

[1:08:09] probably before our next county council

[1:08:11] meeting and

[1:08:13] there might be a necessity to pass this

[1:08:14] ordinance tonight i would

[1:08:16] you will make you suspend the rules and

[1:08:17] make the motion to spin the rules

[1:08:20] to consider voting on bill 4620 tonight

[1:08:22] that's marcus

[1:08:27] it was voted there was a motion on the

[1:08:29] floor by mr stands right

[1:08:31] it was seconded by councilwoman hess to

[1:08:33] suspend the rules

[1:08:35] uh to enable us to vote on 20 this

[1:08:37] evening
