EB 66) <br />1990 Boor. <br />Commissioner Scurlock understood then that the County <br />Attorney's budget would have to be amended in the amount of <br />$12,000 plus a part-time position, so we are talking about an <br />increase of $20,000 or more. <br />Chairman Eggert understood that after Attorney Brennan comes <br />back as a part-time employee, it would eliminate the County's <br />responsibility with respect to maternity leave. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that Attorney Brennan understands <br />that. As a part-time employee, she would be relying on our good <br />faith to use her whenever we can. She would not receive benefits <br />as a part-time employee. <br />OMB Director Joe Baird advised that a budget amendment would <br />be needed for this year because we would be paying Attorney <br />Brennan her sick time during the time the new lawyer is drawing a <br />salary. <br />Attorney Vitunac explained that Attorney Brennan is leaving <br />in March, and the new lawyer would not come until April 23rd, so <br />there would be a month's gap and Attorney Brennan's sick leave is <br />only about two weeks. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked what benefits Attorney Brennan <br />has accrued under her current status, and Attorney Vitunac stated <br />that she has sick and vacation, which she will use up in about <br />two weeks. The rest of her maternity leave will be unpaid. So, <br />for the 5 months that she will not be paid, this person would <br />come and be a full-time lawyer. <br />Chairman Eggert understood then that we need a budget <br />amendment for several thousand dollars for the remainder of this <br />budget year. <br />Director Baird asked if we would be paying the new lawyer's <br />health insurance for 12 months or just for the time he works, and <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that he would be a full-time employee <br />and we would have to pay his health insurance and sick time. He <br />did not anticipate a car allowance, however. <br />91 <br />
