Present - Chairman: James W. Lentz Commissioners: R. Giles Moss William G. Hamby, Jr. Martha H. Melvin Absent - Commissioner: Billy J. Simmons, Jr. Mrs. Cynthia Eades, Personnel Officer, reviewed the performance appraisal pay system proposal recommended by a Study Commission comprised of the following members: Lewis Williams and Gina Goff (County Employee Personnel Committee representatives); Robert Canaday (Elected Official); and Commissioners Melvin and Simmons. She presented the following proposal that was adopted by the Study Commission as well as the County's Employee Personnel Committee. (1) (2) (3) (4) Cost-of-Living Adjustments should be determined by the Board of Commissioners each fiscal year during the budget process. Longevity pay should remain as it presently exists. Education Incentive pay should be available to all classes of employees, with the approval of the Board of Commissioners. Employees will be evaluated on their anniversary date each year and may receive a salary increase, depending on their evaluation. Annual increases will be awarded as follows: · Employees in steps 0, 1, or 2 must receive a performance evaluation of at least satisfactory to receive a one- step salary increase. · Employees in steps 3 or above must receive a performance evaluation of exceptional to receive a one-step salary increase. Commissioner Melvin introduced discussion of the educational incentive pay currently available to employees of the Sheriff's Department. She questioned the use of increased funds for educational incentive purposes as opposed to using the funds for the performance appraisal system. The educational incentive pay had been increased in the current Personnel Ordinance from $96.00 per month to $144.000 per month for employees with a four-year degree. Sheriff Robert Canaday reviewed the history of the educational incentive pay and explained that economic factors had lessened the incentive of $96.00 per month. He stressed the benefit to the County for the officers to improve their level of education. Mr. Lewis Williams, Veterans Service Officer and member of the County's Employee Personnel Committee and Study Commission, also spoke in support of the educational incentive pay. The Board briefly reviewed the proposed amendment to Article III of the Personnel Ordinance to establish the performance appraisal pay system. It was noted that a second reading of the proposed amendment to the Ordinance would be required as all members of the Board were not present for this meeting. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Moss, seconded by Commissioner Hamby with Commissioners Moss, Hamby, and Melvin and Chairman Lentz voting for, the Board agreed to place the proposed Personnel Ordinance amendment on the agenda for the August 6th meeting..
