Comm. Minutes--September 5, 1989 330 28. SHERIFF'S ACCOUNT, Closed effective October 1 Mr. Shannon stated that the County Commission received a letter on August 15, 1989, from the County Sheriff stating that an account held by the Sheriff's Office for receiving and expending funds for gambling and other activities will be closed by October 1. Hr. Shannon endorsed the Sheriff's action in closing this account so that a11 revenues and expenditures of the County can be recorded in the County general ledger system. MOTION, passed Mr. Shannon moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to congratulate the County Sheriff in taking action to have the account closed by October 1, 1989, and that the Commission de- authorize the account effective that date and require that the supporting documentation of the checking account, bank statements, cancelled checks, deposit slips, reconcilia- tions, and invoices be turned over to the County Auditor on or by October 1, 1989. Sheriff Rudnick was present and stated that his office will still be receiving monies, but will turn it over to the Treasurer. Motion carried. 29. POLICY ON COHPENSATORY TIME, Sheriff and Social Services Sandra Brumfield. provided Commissioners with a copy of a proposed policy on overtime for exempt employees, which is very similar to what Socia'l Services is acting under right now. She stated that there is a question of how the Commission's action to exclude exempt employees from receiving overtime compensation affects compensatory time, which is other than monetary. Currently, Cass County Social Services has been allowing their exempt employees to accrue and use comp time on an hour for hour basis during this past month per action by the County Social Service Board at their last meeting. Hs. Brumfield stated that some of the exempt employees in the Sheriff's Office were paid overtime after the effective date of the Commission action. The cut off date was to be July 15th. The Auditor's Office, who is in charge of payroll, was going to be responsible for getting those funds back from those individuals this last payroll. However, Mr. Eckert had discussed with the Sheriff's Office postponing that until a solution could be reached, and he suggested placing this on the agenda to be addressed at this time. Jim Thoreson was present and stated that they received notification from the Auditor on Monday, July 17, 1989, which coincided with the last day of the Red River Valley Fair. There were supervisors who were paid for working July 16 and 17, and he state that they would be opposed to having those funds withheld from a future check. Sandra Brumfield stated that there is a question on the notification date, but the letter sent by the Auditor's Office is dated July 13, 1989. She stated that the Commission's action of July 11, 1989, reaffirmed the existing policy. It was not a new po]icy. If the Commission determines that the overtime policy for exempt employees does not include comp time, then the policy would be consistent with what Social Services is doing, according to Ms. Brumfield. She said the motion on the overtime policy stated that there would be no monetary overtime. Mr. Shannon stated that comp time is not free time.
