Comptroller Harry Hall, Sheriff's Office, presented his understanding that FRS <br />payment is required if the payment is for future incentive and not a bonus, but if it is determined <br />to be a lump sum bonus, it would be exempt from the FRS payment. <br />Chairman Davis was comfortable either way, as long as the dollar amount did not exceed <br />the $1,582.86, and asked whether either side had a preference. <br />Mr. Valis preferred that the FRS payment not be included, if possible, to increase the net <br />amount of money from the approved sum. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher asked for the exact dollar amount on the disbursement for each <br />employee. <br />Comptroller Hall explained that the figure of $1,582.86 had been grossed up, so that the <br />employees would get a net check of $1,000 each. <br />Discussion continued, as Commissioners and Comptroller Hall considered whether the <br />FRS contribution would need to be taken out of the $1,582.86 payment. <br />Commissioner Wheeler preferred to not have the FRS deduction taken out of the <br />payment, so that more disposable income would be available to the employees. He also remarked <br />that it seemed a bit inequitable to give everyone the same bonus, as you might have civilian <br />personnel making bottom scale, and a Deputy making upper scale. <br />Chairman Davis declared that before the checks are cut, he would like to obtain a letter <br />from the appropriate authority regarding whether or not the FRS contributions needed to be made <br />in this instance. <br />z <br />September 14, 2009 <br />Special Call Meeting <br />
