You're the best! Leland and Joan Robison Commissioner meeting -Continued from PAGE ONE trator is barely making the and that the third call was “I don’t think that de- partments should be on the hook to reimburse the county because they don’t have an itemized receipt because they could not get one. This just seems a little extreme to me.” Commissioner Melissa Lindsay disagreed. “Last time I went to Bellinger, they did a hand- written receipt and it just said ‘Food,’ and I went up and they put every ounce of detail on that handwritten receipt. I can’t think of any other time when I couldn’t get a detailed receipt,” she said, adding, “it’s valid. We want to have a deeper conversation.” “There’s some level of discretion,” Ince added. “It’s not the intention to penalize, certainly, through this policy, but more the in- tention to make every effort to add transparency.” Payday policy change Lindsay Grogan, Morrow County Human Resources Manager, was present to ask that coun- ty employee paydays be moved from biweekly on Thursdays to biweekly on Fridays. Grogan said the current payroll adminis- time deadline, and she has 17 years of payroll expe- rience with the county. She plans to retire soon, and Grogan was concerned about someone without that experience and history be- ing able to meet the current deadline. The change would take effect the first pay day in December, and she said she had already spoken with the AFSCME and TEAM- STERS unions, which had agreed to the change. “It’s a one-time hit to those employees who are living paycheck-to-pay- check, getting paid Friday instead of Thursday that week” Russell said, “but if the unions have agreed to it, I’m behind it.” Grogan said they de- cided on the beginning of December to allow time for employees to make needed arrangements for bills due during that time. Other business In other business, commissioners received a letter from Boardman area resident Lisa Pratt regard- ing Boardman ambulance licensing. Russell said the previous Friday there had been three ambulance calls in a short period of time responded to by an am- bulance out of Arlington. “It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen,” he said. Doherty said he had had discussions that indi- cated what seemed to be promising developments in the ambulance debate between Morrow County Health District and Board- man. Lindsay reported that she continued to work with the Oregon Justice De- partment on the possibility of a new courthouse but realized Morrow County was being served via video even more than thought. “If we’re going to commit to a building, we really need them to commit to service,” she said. Doherty reported that the effort to create a bet- ter entrance coming off Tower Road and into the Army Range was about 90 percent completed. He also reported that Amazon started construction on a new facility before submit- ting an application for a SIP agreement. He stated that he doesn’t want to “look the other way” and that he would like to see Amazon pay full-bore taxes.
