SUBJECT: Evaluation of County Attorney
FROM: Don C. Scurlock, Jr. REFERENCES:
I have personally conducted an evaluation of Gary Brandenburg,
County Attorney. At the time he was hired for this position, he
was told he would have a six month evaluation and receive a 5%
—increase in salary.
I feel he has delivered outstanding service, and I feel he should
receive an additional 2% merit increase, making a total of 7%
increase in salary, or a yearly amount.of $40,660.10.
I encourage each Commissioner to talk to Mr. Brandenburg,
and have placed this on the agenda for June 9 for consideration
by the Board.

MOTION was made by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, that the Board
accept the recommendation of the Chairman,
as outlined in his memorandum of June 3, 1982,
with the understanding that the amount be
rounded to meet the payroll dollars set up;
that he be. given an increase of 5% as promised
for satisfactory performance, and a 20 merit
increase, effective with the next pay period.
Commissioner Bird commented that he had the privilege
of working with the County Attorney, and felt the County was
in good hands.
Commissioner Fletcher inquired about the six months
automatic salary increase.
Dr. Hardin explained that this was the procedure before
he came to the County to work. At the present time, he
added, they were not adding on a percentage at the end of
the six month period for a new employee. An increase was
determined on the rating given by the superintendent and
department head, and if there was enough money in the
budget.
Brief discussion followed concerning the Attorney's
merits and the efficiency of his office.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on
and carried unanimously.
BOARD WELCOMED C. B. HARDIN
The Board welcomed C. B. Hardin to his new position as
Acting Administrator and wished him well.
ADDITIONS TO AGENDA
The Chairman suggested adding an item to the agenda
concerning an unfortunate conflict in Commissioner Wodtke's
schedule 'for July.
W
Commissioner Wodtke explained that the Comprehensive
Land Use Plan public hearings were scheduled for July 13 and
July 27, 1982. His conflict was that the Exchange Club was
having its national convention July 10 to July 14; he'asked
the Board if the CLUP dates could be reconsidered at this
time.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Lyons,
SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, to add this
emergency item to the Agenda to consider
changing the CLUP public hearing dates.
Commissioner Fletcher commented that he told a number
of people, who had called him, the dates of the CLUP
hearings. He added that people say the Board changes dates
of meetings on purpose; therefore, he had a problem with
changing the dates.
Commissioner Lyons stated that the meetings are going
to be advertised, so there is no problem in that regard. He
suggested cancelling the hearing date of July 13th and
making the first hearing date on July 27, 1982. +
Commissioner Fletcher argued that the dates should not
be changed, while the other Board members felt otherwise, as
changes do occur that are sometimes completely out of their
control.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was
voted on and carried with a vote of 4 to 1,
with Commissioner Fletcher voting in opposition.,
The Chairman requested that this .jtein be placed on the
Agenda for the next meeting.
After some discussion, the Board decided not to open
the meeting for the North County Fire District as there was
nothing else to discuss except approval of the minutes.
