Mr. Barton explained that there has been talk about expanding <br />hours when the new Courthouse opens. At present, the regular hours <br />are 8:30 to 5:00. It is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but that <br />includes only the cashiers and a few_ people working staggered <br />hours. He estimated that it would cost $186,000 to open one half <br />hour earlier, at 8:00 a.m. That would impact the Sheriff's budget <br />also because he provides the security for the building. Most of <br />his employees are on an hourly rate and would receive overtime for <br />anything over 40 hours. At present, we are working a 37-1/2 hour <br />week and they receive regular pay for the 2-1/2 hours before <br />reaching 40 hours. Mr. Barton just wanted the Board to be aware of <br />the costs involved before we get into any discussions about the <br />hours of the Courthouse. <br />Commissioner Bird asked to what degree the present early hours <br />are used, and Mr. Barton advised that people come in and pay <br />traffic fines, etc. after 7:30 a.m. Monday and Friday hours are <br />very heavily used, but it trails off during the middle of the week. <br />We are keeping track so that we can make adjustments if necessary. <br />If the hours are changed, it would impact us by $186,000 and also <br />impact the Sheriff's budget. <br />Chairman Tippin thanked Mr. Barton for coming in under budget. <br />Supervisor of Elections _- <br />Ann Robinson, Supervisor of Elections, read aloud the <br />following letter accompanying her budget for 1994-95: <br />SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS <br />DEPARTMENT 700 <br />1993/94 <br />PROPOSED INCREASE % <br />SUB -TOTAL $393,949 $393,795 ($154) -0.04% <br />WORKER'S COMPENSATION $1,121 $1,168 $47 4.19% <br />TOTAL $395.070 $394,963 ($107) -0.03% <br />3 <br />MAY 16 1994 booK 92 FAGE398 <br />
