BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA FRANK R. MASCARA. DAVID L. GILMORE. EDWARD M. PALUSO. COMMISSIONERS Mr. Petrosky explained that during the latter part of May, he tentatively approved a personal leave of absence for Deborah McNary, who has been employed by the County for approximately seven months, for the two -week period of August lst thru 12th. He explained that since that time, Susann Shinko has been under a doctor's care, utilizing her vacation and sick time; and he understands that she will be requesting a medical leave of absence. Consequently, his office will be shorthanded and thus the need for a per diem employee. Mr. Paluso stated that it sounds to him like the personal leave of absence is just a vacation for somebody that is not entitled to a vacation. Mr. Petrosky noted that when Ms. McNary approached him in terms of a personal leave, he did no-: pursue the reason at that point. It was noted that the personal leave of absence had not been granted by the Board of Commissioners as of yet. Commissioners Mascara and Gilmore agreed that elected officials should have latitude insofar as their employees are con- cerned. Discussion followed between Commissioner Paluso and Mr. Petrosky. Controller Beharry stated that she has no objection to the latitudes of elected officials, but she thinks they ought to be in compliance with established policy and practice and that they ought to be clarified for all elected officials More discussion followed. Moved by Miss Beharry, seconded by Mr. Gilmore, approving the hiring of a per diem Clerk -Typist II, Grade 4, Step B, Rate 5.835, for the period of August 1st thru August 12th. Roll call vote taken: Mr. Petrosky - Yes; Miss Beharry - Yes; Mr. Paluso - No; Mr. Gilmore - Yes; Mr. Mascara - Yes. Motion carried. Chairman Mascara noted that personal leaves of absence are granted by the Board of Commissioners, not the Salary Board. Subsequently, he and Commissioner Gilmore both agreed to grant a personal leave of absence for Deborah McNary. F003 - SHERIFF Sheriff Fazzoni requested that Chief Deputy Ferdal Littleton and Captain Fred Johns receive additional compensation for their services during the Califor- nia Area Teachers strike in the amounts of $1,357.00 and $560.00, respectively.
