MS. KING: Mr. Henricks, I am not involved with the minutiae of how the county is run. <br />But somewhere in the county—I mean, these were county workers. Someone released <br />them to go to this meeting with pay. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Yeah, and I think like I said at the beginning, Mr. Henricks’ concern is that <br />we don’t have a respondent on this. And this is more so going to be a hearing on policy <br />and trying to figure out what the right thing to do is. <br /> <br />MS. KING: Mr. Dill, what I’m hoping is that you will investigate this issue— <br /> <br />MR. DILL: --Yeah— <br /> <br />MS. KING: --All of you, and decide who the respondent should be. Because if it takes <br />filing another petition, I think we can certainly do that. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Do you realize, though, if the union is the wrongdoer, that we can’t go <br />forward? <br /> <br />MS. KING: I understand that. <br /> <br />MR. HENRICKS: Because we have no— <br /> <br />MS. KING: --I understand, but I would hope that the ethics commission could come up <br />with some recommendations. One, I would recommend that county workers not be <br />released—if the union cannot police themselves, I would recommend that no workers be <br />released to attend any union meeting from the time people—from the deadline that people <br />sign up to run for office until the general election, or whatever other election is <br />happening. That would take care of that problem. If there’s campaigning, fine. Let the <br />union pay—and have this in the contract—let the union pay the cost of the county wages, <br />if they campaign on county time. That’s my two suggestions, if we can’t stop this. Thank <br />you. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Thank you. Thank you, Ms. King. Board members, any other items that we <br />need to get together, other than what’s been discussed so far? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: We didn’t have a vote— <br /> <br />MR. DILL: --Yeah, I know, but I want to say what we need to move forward on this. I <br />know Glen had some items. Bernard, anything else? <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: No. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: So if you can get the agenda and some of the specifics on that meeting. All <br />right, I’ll entertain a motion to schedule this as an informal hearing for next month’s <br />meeting, and in the meantime gather the information requested. And could we get that <br />information distributed, Mary, as soon as we get it, so that we have time to review prior <br />to our next month’s meeting? Thank you. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
