Minute No. 47-S
Office of the County Commissioners
Washington, Pa. , October 25, 1973
The Salary Board of the County of Washington met in the Office of the County Com-
missioners with the following members being present: Commissioners Jones and Flynn. Absen-
being: Commissioner Paluso and Controller Elish. Also present being: Chief Clerk and County
Administrator Whalen; Solicitor Hormell; Judge Simmons; Court Administrator David Posner;
Reporter Budinger of The Observer -Reporter; Mr. Jack Merdian of WJPA; Mrs. Helen Miller
of The League of Women Voters; June Lilly of The Canonsburg Daily Notes; Earl Bugaile of
WKEG; and Eric . Bugaile of WESA.
Meeting called to order and roll call taken:
Mr. Jones - Present; Mr. Paluso - Absent;
Mr. Elish - Absent; Mr. Flynn - Present.
Chairman Flynn stated that in view of the fact that there was not a quorum as
required by the statute in that the composition of the Salary Board be the three Commissioners
and the Controller, he would like to have the Solicitor enter into the record how the Board could
proceed with the meeting.
(Sheriff Debreczeni entered the meeting. )
Mr. Hormell: The statute creating the Salary Board provides that the Salary Board is composed
of the three Commissioners and the County Controller under normal circumstances; and it
further provides that when the Board considers the number of employees of other offices or
agencies as well as employees of the Court, then at that time, those offices constitute a member
of the Board. I therefore rule that insofar as any matters pertaining to the Court are concerned ,
since the Board would be composed of five members, you have two majority Commissioners
here and the Judge - that would constitute a quorum. Insofar. as anything relating to the Sheriff,
since it would also be composed of five members, and two majority Commissioners and he make
three, you have a quorum for that; and on those offices, you may act. But I do not believe that
you can act on any others.
