APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chairman Mascara asked if there were any corrections, additions or omissions to Minute No. 11-S-86 dated October 30, 1986, each member having received a copy. Moved by Mr. Petrosky, seconded by Miss Beharry, that Minute No. 11-S-8E dated October 30, 1986, be approved as written. Roll call vote taken: Miss Beharry - Yes; Mr. Paluso - Yes; Mr. Petrosky - Yes; Mr. Mascara - Yes. Motion carried unanimously. Approval of Minute No. 12-S-86 dated November 20, 1986, was held in abeyance. NOTE: The purpose of this meeting was to ratify existing contracted positions for the various departments by creating the positions and setting the compensation thereof. This action was necessary due to the dispute between the Commissioners and the Controller wherein the Commissioners' position is that they have the sole power to independently contract for services and the Controller's position is that the Salary Board must act to create all employees' compensation. On December 5, 1986, Controller Beharry wrote a memo to the Commissioners stating that pursuant to her solicitor's opinion on the legality of "independent contractors", "I must advise you that unless the statutory requirements for the salary board to act are met the Controller will refuse any claim made against the county based upon the contracts referred to in the opinion, beginnir on January 1, 1987." V 510 SALARY MINUTE BOOK BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA i FRANK R. MASCARA, METRO PETROSKY, JR, EDWARD M. PALUSO, COMMISSIONERS f� ` MR. PETROSKY: Miss Beharry, have you devised a list of those people that you fee fall into this category? MISS BEHARRY: No, Mr. Carroll and I have not ....... No, Mr. Carroll and I have not reviewed all contracts to determine whether or not they fall into this cate- gory. MR. PETROSKY: Well, don't you think that puts this board at a distinct disadvan- tage since you requested that we take this action? Do you not think that it puts this board at a distinct disadvantage to move on something that pertains to such a large path in terms of approval of people who are under contract with the count MISS BEHARRY: Well, Mr. Petrosky, considering I first wrote to the board on this, matter in May and we not sit here in December trying to resolve the problem at th last moment, I suppose it does put you in a difficult position, but I'm not the one who failed to act in the previous six months to reach some resolution. MR. MASCARA: You mean your attorney hasn't been looking at this since May..... haven't you been making some decisions along the way since May? MISS BEHARRY: On this particular matter? MR. MASCARA: You're the one ... we're down here because we don't want an emergency, situation with the Courts. You're the one that wants these people put through the Salary Board. You should give us a list. i MISS BEHARRY: I received a memorandum from Mr. Carroll in early December indica-� t? ting that contracted services should be put through the Salary Board and he parti�u- larly indicated that solicitors, public defenders and assistant district attorney were those that must go through Salary Board; and I think my memo in May spoke particularly of the court reporter involved in coroner inquests where the statute) speaks to salary or salary board. I think that with the number of attorneys that you have on your staff who have had the question since May, you may have been ablf to devise some answer about which you think your position should be on the issue.' MR. MASCARA: Our position is stated in effect that we don't want to prejudice our right to litigate. We're here because Judge Gladden had written the Commis- sioners asking us to reconsider our position and to put these through Salary Board so we would not have a real problem in the judicial system... for it to run properly. So that's why we are here. You apparently had some strong feeling; about what should go through the Salary Board and we're asking you for a list of those people who you think should go through the Salary Board. I don't think that's a question we should not ask; you're the one that raised the issue. MISS BEHARRY: Well, you know, I raised the issue with you before; and let's take, for example, the special deputies in the Sheriff's Office. Those were people who I contend should always have gone through Salary Board and you contend that they shouldn't. You no longer have special deputies in the Sheriff's Office and we resolved that problem. I do agree and Mr. Carroll does agree that there are such things as independent contractors who do independent work, who do not fall under the scope of the County Code regarding Salary Board or under the In- 1 SALARY MINUTE BOOK 511 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA FRANK R. MASCARA. METRO PFTROSKY. JR.. EDWARD M. PALUSO. COMMISSIONERS E ternal Revenue Code regarding the criteria that must be met for independent con- tractors. Mr. Carroll has been very clear to me in his position that even if an individual met all 5 or 6 criterion in the Internal Revenue Code as an inde- pendent contractor, that would not necessarily mean that the Code itself, the County Code itself, does not speak to that individual and requires Salary Board action. So they do require a case -by -case perusal which we have not had time to do. I wrote to every elected official and to the Commissioners asking them to look at their own individual cases to determine whether or not they believe Salary Board action was necessary. I have not had any contact from any of them., I know that Kathy (Emery) has met with Mr. Carroll to review the list, but I have not had any contact or any questions from.... MR. PETROSKY: I think one of our concerns, Miss Beharry, is simply that if we go ahead and approve this list and should happen to miss someone, then that puts them in jeopardy of not being paid for the services already rendered. Now, how do you propose that we deal with that particular problem? MISS BEHARRY: Well, I don't know because the Controller's responsibility, Commissioner, is to act on claims when they are presented, not project claims and decide... MR. PETROSKY: I think what we're trying to do, and I think what Mr. Mascara has!, alluded to, is that we're trying to avoid a problem; and if we do it by the way you are suggesting, if we don't have a specific number .... for instance, when you initially sent up the list, you indicated 25 individual persons and/or slots. MISS BEHARRY: No, I didn't... MR. PETROSKY: Well, I think that's true. MISS BEHARRY: I didn't send up a list. MR. PETROSKY: I'm sorry then. But anyway, somehow the figure 25 has arisen in terms of ... that was in the newspaper. When we did a calculation, we came up with 34. MISS BEHARRY: I didn't do a calculation; that wasn't my number. MR. PETROSKY: Well, I don't know whether that... I think we go back to my original point and that is simply that we are trying to do what's best to not become involved in either a crisis situation and/or litigation and that we would like to be as specific as we can; and if we don't have those people who you con- tend, if we don't have a list of those slots that you contend should go through the Salary Board and should happen to overlook someone, and then we come back within a week and a voucher is submitted to you for payment and you're saying well, no, it wasn't approved by Salary Board, I don't think that's fair. I really don't. MISS BEHARRY: You say you don't have control over the contracted employees? MR. PETROSKY: No, I'm not saying that at all. 512 SALARY MINUTE BOOK BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA R. M. PALUSO, COMMISSIONERS MISS BEHARRY: The contracts that you have, do you know who they are? MR. PETROSKY: Certainly we do .... Unfortunately, your opinions and our opinions differ so greatly, it doesn't go into the area of control. I mean it seems to me the only sensible thing to do in terms of trying to make this all inclusive so that we don't miss anybody... MISS BEHARRY: Well, that was my intent in May, Commissioner, when I wrote asking your position on the matter so that we could evaluate the individuals, the con- tracts, the circumstances, and come to ..... MR. PETROSKY: Well, you know, that cuts both ways, Miss Beharry, if you sent us a memorandum in May indicating this problem, then you should have had at least in my estimation a firm idea of exactly who you were talking about. MISS BEHARRY: No, we had a vague idea... we had MR. PETROSKY: Well, you haven't done anything to clarify it and you want us to act on vagueness. MISS BEHARRY: No, I have a vague idea on the number of people or the certain offices Mr. Carroll and I have discussed asking your position on it so that we could incorporate that into our evaluation of all the contracts. Since we got no response from the Commissioners, either didn't have a position or didn't care about the issue. MR. MASCARA: Always got to place the blame someplace else ... that's a shame... Could you explain to this Board why you are holding six contracted persons' checks out that were drawn last week? MISS BEHARRY: Well, in those six checks, because Mr. Carroll's opinion was rendered in early December and based upon Judge Acker's opinion regarding the Controller's reponsibility to refuse to pay a claim that is not undertaken in accordance with law, I have requested from Mr. Carroll a further opinion on the problems resulting from my issuing payment if, in fact, the contracts under whic those payments weould be made are illegal and should have gone through Salary Board. So I'm requesting... MR. MASCARA: In other words, those are six people you're not sure about? MISS BEHARRY: No, those were six that were on that particular checkrun related to contracts that according to Mr. Carroll's opinion should have gone through Salary Board, and it creates a particular problem under Judge Acker's opinion regarding surcharge law because Judge Acker has said that if the Controller approves a claim for payment even if it is not legal and it is not undertaken in accordance with law, payment by the Controller would preclude surcharge. There- fore, in accordance with Judge Acker's opinion, I am asking Mr. Carroll for a distinct opinion on those checks. MR. PALUSO: Trying to set up a surcharge, is that what you're saying? Is that what you're trying to arrange? SALARY MINUTE BOOK 513 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA FRANK R M. *This clause', is to be included in'', each individual motion. MISS BEHARRY: I'm trying to do my job in accordance with the law as it exists now in Washington County. MR. PALUSO: Don't make a speech. Just please answer. MR. PETROSKY: I found it interesting that the six checks you held up, two happen to be from the Coroner's office. I found that very interesting. MISS BEHARRY: You know, in the memo in May, it was particularly related to the position in the Coroner's office. That was the main subject of the memo and othe contracted employees were related to the court reporter in the Coroner's inquests and I even cited to you in that memo the statute that would require the Salary Board to act in that case. COURTS: (Coroner Jackson then made some comments.) Judge Terputac stated that he wanted to make it clear that the Court does not particularly approve or disprove the procedure employed and that this is heir done by the Board as an accommodation to the Court. Discussion followed. Chair- mas Mascara noted that the Commissioners want to reserve the right to litigate this matter. MR. PETROSKY: I think we want this to apply to every individual who comes beforE the Salary Board today and that isCo create these positions and compensation related thereto to be filled by the persons named through a contract agreement; said compensation for these individuals as defined here and pursuant to each con- tract agreement shall not include any benefits not included in the respective contract. The approval of these positions by Salary Board shall not be construe( in any manner to diminish the power of the County Commissioners to independently contract for services for the County Chairman Mascara noted that the foregoing would be added to each i.ndividu� motion if there was not any objection.
