7 aooK 19: P6E 1®0 <br />MAR 3 1992 <br />Commissioner Lyons stated that he seconded the Motion <br />on the basis that it is Mr. Nelson's wish. He, too, felt <br />there has been a tremendous amount of accomplishment in the <br />last year and a half. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that he has had many <br />discussions with Mr. Nelson. He believed that Mr. Nelson <br />always has been very honest with him, and they have always <br />been able to talk about their differences. He knew this <br />has been a difficult time, and stated that he appreciated <br />Mr. Nelson and hoped they would continue to be friends. <br />Commissioner Bird stated that before voting on the <br />Motion, he would like to know what the Commission's plans <br />are regarding Mr. Nelson and severance pay. He believed <br />that Mr. Nelson is entitled to as kind treatment as we can <br />possibly afford him. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed the recommendation is that <br />Mr. Nelson has been with the County 4h years and we should <br />grant him six month's severance to give him time to evaluate <br />what he wants to do. He believed the insurance and other <br />benefits will be worked out according to what we legally can <br />do. <br />Commissioner Bird asked Commissioner Fletcher and <br />Commissioner Lyons if they would accept that recommendation <br />as an amendment to their Motion, and they indicated that <br />they would. <br />Commissioner Wodtke stated that he is very disappointed <br />that it has come to this point. He believed that Mr. Nelson <br />has been loyal and hardworking, and he has always been <br />pleased with his work and abilities. He felt if Mr. Nelson <br />is guilty of anything, he is guilty of hard work and saying <br />plainly what he thinks is good for the county. <br />Commissioner Bird felt that the honest and dedication <br />of a Neil Nelson come along very rarely and maybe we will <br />appreciate this as we try to operate the county without him. <br />
