MASCARA, DAVID L. GILMORE. EDWARD M. PALUSO, COMMISSIONERS A003 - CONTROLLER The Board discussed the matter of a Court Order dated July 8, 1983, signed by Judge Gladden which stated "the Court permits the Controller of Washington County to hire as per employee on a per diem basis a person qualified -to audit the books in Magistrate Reichel's office and the County is ordered to compensate that employee at the rate that is reasonable for those services..........". Chairman Mascara stated that he took issue with the Court Order in that he doesn't see how the Courts can permit the Controller to hire anybody since Salary Board makes that decision. He stated that he would have been more receptive if the Courts had directed the Salary Board to hire. Discussion followed. Attorney George Retos of the Solicitor's Office stated that his concern to the Board is that the Court Order may set a precedent in the way that it is word- ed. Chairman Mascara questioned Controller Beharry as to why someone in her office couldn't do the audit as she has 15 employees. Miss Beharry answered that she has 14 employees as one employee is on worker's compensation. She stated that no one in her office could be spared and that no one in her office is trained or qualified to perform such an audit. More discussion followed. Mr. Mascara asked Miss Beharry why she doesn't go out and audit. Miss Be - harry answered that she has other things to do and that she is not a trained qualified auditor. Mr. Mascara stated that he would go out and audit the magis- trates for nothing. He stated that he hates to see an expenditure of funds for a rather routine and mundane audit of County funds which possibly could be done in a week's time. Miss Beharry responded that any prejudgment of how simple this audit would be or how long it would take would be foolhardy. More discussicn followed. Miss Beharry noted that she has no argument to the amendment to the Court Order. She also noted that if the audit would take only one to two weeks, she would have enough money in her budget from her worker's compensation employee to pay a per diem auditor for that period of time. Moved by Miss Beharry, seconded by Mr. Gilmore, to create a per diem slot of Auditor at the daily rate of $55.00. Roll call vote taken: Miss Beharry - Yes; Mr. Paluso - Yes; Mr. Gilmore - Yes; Mr. Mascara - Yes. Motion carried unanimously. (Jim Jefferson of WJPA entered the meeting.) Chairman Mascara directed Attorney Retos to contact Judge Gladden concern- ing the Court Order and re -designing it to state that"Salary Board be directed tc hire........".
