FF"_ I <br />MAY 12 1987 BOOK 68 rA-'A 4 <br />Chairman Scurlock advised that a research of the Minutes <br />shows there have been two other potential requests by former <br />Commissioners Pat Lyons and Bill Wodtke. The Board approved <br />$2700 for Pat Lyons, which was half of his $5400 contribution. <br />Commissioner Wodtke's contribution was in the same range as Freda <br />Wright's, but Bill decided not to participate because he felt <br />there would not be any benefit derived by his paying that much to <br />pay out half of that amount, and also because he did not feel it <br />was appropriate for him to ask the Board to fund it at that <br />level. In Freda's case, we are talking one-half of almost <br />$16,000. The Chairman personally felt the Board should <br />establish a policy in these matters and set a cap on the amount <br />paid by the Commission. He understood that this retirement <br />upgrading is applicable to only one other constitutional officer, <br />Tax Collector Gene Morris. All the other constitutional officers <br />took office since 1980, and this covers only the 4 -year period <br />from 1977-81. <br />Commissioner Eggert asked if the Clerk would be able to fund <br />the rest of it through her own personal funds if the Board <br />decided to pay only $2700, and Chairman Scurlock confirmed that <br />she could, as the ruling on this is very specific. It allows the <br />Commission to participate up to one-half; it does not state.. <br />one-half. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Wheeler, that the Board set a cap of $2700 <br />for all constitutional officers who wish to upgrade <br />their retirement funds, and that they look within their <br />own funds if they wish to participate to a greater <br />extent. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Wheeler asked if this would <br />come out of the Clerk's budget or the Board's general <br />14 <br />
