Roll call vote taken: Mr. Pettit - Yes; Mr. Belcastro - Yes; Mr. Ford - Yes; Mr. Bassi - Yes; Mr. Petrosky - Yes. Motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Ford commented for the record that he feels that every item on today's agenda which requires the Board's action could have been taken care of during the year-end budgetary process and subsequently at the January reorganization meeting. He stated that the Salary Board is a can opener to the budget and he feels that there should only be two meetings during the year - one in January (reorganization) and one in June/July to effectively deal with the different funding agencies. He noted the following for the record: In 1992, nine Board meetings were held; cost to County - $9,400. In 1993, seven Board meetings were held; cost to County - $3,800. In 1994, six Board meetings were held; cost to County - $60,000. In 1995, four Board meetings have been held to date; cost to County - $72,000. Commissioner Bassi stated that he feels the Board has made efforts to get this issue under control, and that the Board must take consideration the substantial organizational structure revisions which the County government has experienced this year. Chairman Petrosky stated that he feels that in certain instances to which Commissioner Ford alludes, it is certainly correct; however, he feels that the degree to which Commissioner Ford wants to take the meetings of the Salary Board is not a workable situation. He feels that the Board cannot put a stranglehold on the activities of government as it must have the flexibility to operate as necessary, given whatever circumstances may develop throughout the year. 176 MINUTE SALARY BOARD WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA 4197 - SHERIFF Moved by Mr. Bassi, seconded by Mr. Ford, to create ten (10) per diem Deputy Sheriff I positions at (80%) rate 8.001, retroactive to April 10, 1995, for a period of 60 days for Judicial Tax Sale Postings.
