You're the best!

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.
