Welcome everybody to this called meeting this morning on Tuesday, December 14th. And how I like to start out with an invocation and a pledge. And if everybody would ride, please. Dear Lord, as we come before you this morning, we're so thankful for all the many blessings. Lord, it is 11 days before the birth of Christ. Let us pause for a minute and think about that. And think about the blessings that you have given us to think about what we have, our freedom to freedom to serve this county, to freedom to serve our citizens, most of all Lord, to serve you. And let's think about everything we have, everything we think we've accomplished, just all yours Lord. We all, you've longed it to us and you've allowed us to use it to the benefit of us as well as the rest of your children. So as we carry out this meeting and we think about what we're here for, Let us all think about how we can help someone else have something from your blessings Lord in Christ's sake, I'm in. Amen. of America and to rebuild it for which it stands. One nation under God and indivisible. They would be interested for our own. Thank you. All right, Mr. Rentson. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Remember, this is a board of the Board. Good morning. Good morning. I would like to respectfully request that the Board of Commissioners authorize the payment of a $500 gross Christmas bonus for all permanent full and part-time county employees I propose to use American Rescue Plan Act or ARPA funds to pay for the bonus. The ARPA funds can be useful providing premium pay to essential workers. As of December 9, 2021, there were 41 part time and 477 full time employees for total of 518. Substitutes are not included in this request. The current cost estimate for the proposed bonus pay, $305,200 and $1.74. This number will change as new employees are added or leave their employment with the county between December night and December 17th. Pleasure to move. Second. I've got a motion and a second that we provide a $500 Christmas bonus. Any further discussion? I have one problem to get some clarification on full-time and part-time. Can you explain the difference between part-time and substitute employees? Yes, full-time employees are budgeted in the departmental budgets and they have a set number of hours that we pay them a year.utes are called into work at the pleasure of the department head and the employee the the substitute who comes in and works they don't have to work a part a permanent part-time employee would have to work when called if they didn't their employment could be terminated. Any other questions? All in favor say aye. All opposed? unanimous. Thank you so much gentlemen. I think this is something that is very well deserved and I'm so glad that we're able to do it. I know what we are to. So again, thank you. Okay, Mr. Brisson. Mr. Chairman, members of the board. I would ask that you observe a moment of silence in memory of former county commissioner Francis Sutton Parks who passed away earlier this week after a long battle. She served as a member of the board of Commissioners from 2008 through 2016 and I believe she served as chairman of the board in 2010 and 11 Okay, so let's just Poules for a few minutes and remember Miss Francis I some of you Served with her just like I did for a few years. She was a very very respectful woman I thought a lot of her and she's definitely going to be missed. So let's pause for a few minutes. Deloitte as we pause for this few minutes in respect to Miss Francis. Please remember her family and help them through these tried times and crossache on me. Thank you gentlemen. Any other business? Nope. I make a motion that we will were during until Monday December 20th. I got a motion in a second to the year until December 20th. I'll in favor say aye. All right. You're an animal.
