Before receiving this order, the Controller received the following item (No. 2) 1 SALARY-MINUTE■sir BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASC-IINGTON CON Y, PENNSY"A NIA Mic"^F-L R_ FLYNN, Jot -IN P. HEKEC, JOHN MA37A, %rONUt$MONOn 11 L 1 (2) Payroll voucher under the date of February 9, 1973 signed by Thomas D. Gladden with a gross total of $1200. A notation was made at the bottom of this voucher as follows: -THIS VOUCHER IS SUBMITTED AS HERETOFORE: subject, nevertheless, to any modifications which may be imposed by the order and other communications of Sweet, P. J. in re: Stanley Brovey. (3) Correspondence under the date of February 5, 1973 from Judge Sweet to Judge Gladden. (4) Salary Board Minutes: No. 27-5, Page 3 and No. 28=5, Page, 2. (5) Section 1625-B and Section 1625-C of the County Code. Mr. Roney stated that the order pertaining to Stanley Brovey was handed down and signed by Judge Sweet alone in his capacity as President Judge. Mr. Roney stated that the records before the Salary Board indicate that Stanley Brovey is on the payroll of Judge Gladden and the matters seem to conflict. Mr. Roney stated that he thought this was a matter to be resolved by the Salary Board and not the Controller. Mr. Jones, stated that the Salary Board sets the salary for the designated employees and the Court designates who the employees are... Mr. Hormell stated that he thought it was the Controller's job to reconcile these sorts of things (such as the conflict about Stanley Brovey). Mr. Hormell. stated that since the Commissioners signatures appear on the payroll, he advised that they go along with the Controller, in that Mr. Brovey's check should not be issued until such time as this matter is reconciled and the only time they should do anything on this matter is if the Court is represented. Mr. Roney suggested that a motion be made, calling the Judges to a Salary Board Meeting for the purpose of resolving the Stanley Brovey matter, in view of the sections of the County Code referred to pertaining to the Salary Board. Mr. Hormell stated that he could not advise the Commissioners to go along with that motion, because the Salary Board has nothing to do with this problem. Mr. Hormell stated that there are two things: (1) The Judges elect who their people are, and (2) The Salary Board elects the number and compensation, and that to ask the Judges to come here and participate in a meeting for this purpose would be outside the authority of the Commissioners. Mr. Roney referred to the Salary Board Minutes of January 18, 1973 which states that Carl Sperl would be hired if and when the retirement of Stanley Brovey occurs. Mr. Roney asked if anyone had received a letter from Mr. Brovey stating that he had retired. Mr. Paluso stated that the only way to solve this matter is to hold the check in abeyance and to have the Court come down with a recommendation of who is to be deleted and who is not to be deleted in an official Salary Board Meeting. Moved by Mr. Paluso, seconded by Mr. Elish, that the Salary Board direct communications to the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas to appear at a
