MR. ARMOUR: <br />I think that he said that it all has to be negotiated, so even if you try to <br />void it, it sounds like it’s a statewide contract, and so the whole state would have to do <br />it. My suggestion is we skip this one. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br />Well, the underlying question is whether the county can declare <br />insolvency. It’s beyond bankruptcy actually. Isn’t it? Or is it just the same as <br />bankruptcy? <br />MS. GARSON: <br />I honestly don’t know. However whether or not it could declare <br />bankruptcy, but if you could, there’s Bankruptcy Court laws about being able to choose <br />which contracts you want to keep and which you want to ignore, and that would be all <br />bankruptcy laws, so I don’t think that. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br />Personally, chair, I don’t think we want to keep this one. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Yes, we don’t feel like it’s a liable suggestion. Is that what I’m <br />hearing? So we can pass over this one. <br />MR. ARMOUR: <br />Not for this commission. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Second one has to do with pay cut to an index that would restore <br />original pay rate when the economy is recovered. What do we think of that? Is it <br />something worth keeping? <br />MR. ARMOUR: <br />I think there are several suggestions in here that relate to similar things <br />about hours of pay. And if we’re going to do anything on it, we probably should just <br />lump them all together. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />Maybe we should just say let’s mark in our copies with a P or an A <br />or something so as we go through anything that we found falls in that category we can <br />say, okay, that’s the same as such and such. So, let’s just call that a P? <br />MS. O’HARA: <br />Let’s just stick to an alpha system. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: A <br />Okay. A one? Oh. . Sorry. <br />MS. WONG: <br />I’d like to ask a question. When this was sent in, was there a cover letter <br />or just this? <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />This was it. And there is no page 15. So, should we go through <br />and identify all the A’s just as we go through them, and come back and we can talk <br />about all of the A’s together and any other categories we end up with. <br />MS. O’HARA: <br />As we go through them. <br />MS. NICHOLSON: <br />The next suggestion about job-related driving is certainly something <br />that we’ve seen before. We saw it insome of the other suggestions that we got. About <br />reimbursement for mileage and about use of county vehicles. <br />15 <br /> <br />
