Moved by Director Shirley Palmer, seconded by Director James
Barrett to approve the budget
for the fiscal year 2006-2007.
Director James Barrett discussed the matter that back in 2002
the employees of the district went to a
modified work week 9/80 over a two week period. Since, we
discovered that this is fine as long as
40 hours per week are not exceeded in a week. We have
modified the pay period to not go over the
forty hours in a week. The federal law states that we must pay
those employees that have worked the
overtime. This is for an estimated amount of approximately
$30,000.00. Our attorney reaffirmed this.
Director Barrett then asked the finance officer from which fiscal
year budget is this money going to be
coming from?
The finance officer responded that this payment must come out of
the new budget. Since we are going
back to 2002; which will require research.
After discussion, the motion and second were rescinded.
Moved by Director Shirley Palmer, seconded by Director David
Urbanoski to accept the 2006-2007
budget, with a line item to cover the back overtime pay owed to all
employees, past and present,
which will be put into the department were the monies are owed
