[21-I-67 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 20-OR-44 (2021 ANNUAL BUDGET, PULASKI COUNTY, ARKANSAS) TO RECOGNIZE AND APPROPRIATE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OF 2021 FUNDS AND TO PROVIDE FOR A ONE TIME PREMIUM PAYMENT TO ESSENTIAL COUNTY EMPLOYEES, EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 3, 2021.]
HAVE A PEAK OF UNFINISHED BUSINESS IN THE LAST MEETING.ITEM 21I67 WAS HELD TO THIS MEETING.
MISS LOUISE, I RECOGNIZE YOU HAVE A MOTION.
>> WE HAVE A MOTION, WE HAVE A SECOND TO ADOPT ORDINATE 2I57.
IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON 21I57?
>> JUDGE, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR MICROPHONE IS OFF, SIR? [LAUGHTER]
>> THANK YOU MR. TOWERS. MEMBERS, YOU HEARD THE MOTION AND THE SECOND FOR ORDINATES 21I67.
ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON 21I67? JUSTICE GULLY, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THE QUESTION.
>> YES, I WANT TO KNOW THIS ONETIME PREMIUM.
IS IT THE 1,000 BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE HAD DECIDED WAS GOING TO BE 1,200.
IT ISN'T STATED IN THE AMOUNT, IT JUST SAYS ONETIME PREMIUM. WHAT'S THE AMOUNT?
>> I THOUGHT WE AGREED TO AMEND IT.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR 21I67 MR. TOWERS?
>> YES, SIR. THANK YOU FOR THE RECOGNITION.
SOME OF YOU ALL WILL REMEMBER I CAME INTO COMMITTEE IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER ACTUALLY, WHEN WE INITIALLY CONSIDERED THIS AND I INITIALLY OPPOSED IT.
THEN AFTER I LISTENED TO TESTIMONY FROM MY COLLEAGUES, I TURN THE CORNER AND SUPPORTED IT.
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHY I SUPPORT IT.
THERE'S ABOUT 1,300 FULL-TIME COUNTY EMPLOYEES.
ARE THERE A FEW THAT ACTUALLY BENEFITED FROM WORKING FROM HOME AND NOT HAVING TO MAKE THE COMMUTE AND NOT HAVING TO BUY CLOTHES FOR WORK AND ALL THAT? YES. BUT THEY'RE IN THE MINORITY. LET ME TELL YOU WHY.
SIXTY FIVE PERCENT OF OUR WORKFORCE IS TIED UP AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, DETENTION AND ENFORCEMENT.
THESE FOLKS EVERY DAY ARE DEALING AND HAVE DEALT THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC WITH THE PUBLIC.
THERE'S ANOTHER 10 PERCENT THAT FALL INTO THE JUDGES JURISDICTION FROM PUBLIC WORKS, WHICH INCLUDES ROAD AND BRIDGE, SANITATION, JUVENILE DETENTION, CORNERS OFFICE.
[OVERLAPPING] EVEN SOME, I WOULD SAY IN THE CLERK'S OFFICE, SOME IN THE TREASURE COLLECTOR, SOME IN THE ASSESSORS OFFICE.
MY POINT BEING, 75 PERCENT PLUS OF OUR WORKFORCE HAD TO CONTINUE INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC DURING THIS TIME OF PUBLIC CRISIS.
SO THIS PERCEPTION THAT MAJORITY OF OUR WORKFORCE WENT AND WORKED FROM HOME IS SIMPLY UNTRUE.
IT'S NOT CORRECT. IT'S NOT ACCURATE.
THE MAJORITY OF OUR WORKFORCE CONTINUE TO INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC, CONTINUED TO DO THEIR JOBS IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WAS LESS THAN THE BEST SITUATION.
I SAID THIS IN COMMITTEE, THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS.
WE'VE DONE THIS ONCE, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME, BUT I AM GOING TO SUPPORT IT THIS TIME.
THE REASON BEING IS ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, HEY, IF YOU WORKED FROM HOME THE WHOLE TIME THAT COVID WAS GOING ON THAT MEANT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COMMUTE AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT, YOU ACTUALLY CAME OUT IN AN ADVANTAGE SITUATION.
THE MAJORITY OF OUR WORKFORCE WAS NOT IN THAT SITUATION.
FOR THOSE REASONS AND I WON'T REITERATE EVERYTHING I'VE JUST SAID, I THINK I'VE STATED IT CLEARLY.
[00:10:03]
THIS ONE AND LAST TIME, I WILL SUPPORT THIS ONETIME PREMIUM PAY FOR ESSENTIAL COUNTY EMPLOYEES.>> THANK YOU. MR. TOWERS. FURTHER COMMENTS? QUESTIONS. JUSTICE LOUISON.
>> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT.
IF YOU'RE WORKING FROM HOME, YOU'RE PAYING YOUR ELECTRIC BILL, YOU'RE PAYING YOUR GAS BILL, YOU'RE PAYING YOUR WATER BILL BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THINGS ON THERE, WHEN I LEAVE DURING THE DAY, I TURN EVERYTHING DOWN AS LOW AS I CAN GET IT.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY PAYING MORE MONEY OUT OF THEIR POCKETS.
I FEEL BY STAYING HOME, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO THROW THAT IN.
>> THANK YOU. I GUESS SHELL DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM IN YOUR AGENDA MEETING.
JUSTICE MCMULLEN, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED FOR THE COMMENT, THE QUESTION, AND WHATEVER ELSE.
>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, JUDGE HIGH, AND I DON'T RECALL US ACTUALLY DISCUSSING IT MAY BE AT THE LAST MEETING.
NEVERTHELESS, I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT $1,000, I THINK THAT THE COUNTY WOULD BE ABLE TO STAND 1,200.
THE LAST TIME WE HAD A DISCUSSION ON THIS, THAT WAS THE FLOW OF THE DISCUSSION.
NEVERTHELESS, I DON'T THINK THAT WE DID MAKE THAT AMENDMENT.
THEREFORE, I, FROM THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD LAST TIME, WAS GIVEN THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WERE NUMBERS OF US WHO WERE IN FAVOR OF THE 1,200.
I DO KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY PLACES SCHOOL DISTRICT [OVERLAPPING].
>> MS. MCMULLEN, ARE YOU MAKING A MOTION OR?
>> I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.
>> BECAUSE RIGHT NOW $1,200 IS NOT ON THE FLOOR.
>> I'M GOING TO MAKE A MOTION.
>> IF YOU WOULD RESPECT ME, I WAS SPEAKING AND I WAS GOING TO JUST SIMPLY EXPLAINING WHY I WAS GOING TO DO THAT.
>> I THINK I'VE ONLY SPOKEN FOR SOMETHING LIKE A MINUTE, MAYBE NOT THAT LONG IN COMPARISON.
I AM A LOT AT THE TIME I WOULD THINK.
THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO SIMPLY POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PLACES THAT THERE'S 10 PERCENT, 3,000 OR WHATEVER.
THESE EMPLOYEES HAVE WORKED VERY HARD.
I THINK THAT A 1,200 COMPLIMENT OR WHATEVER WOULD BE GOOD, AND I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THAT.
WE DO MOVE THIS OR CHANGE THIS TO 1,200.
>> [INAUDIBLE] YOU'VE HAD HER MOTION TO AMEND THE [BACKGROUND] ORDINANCE 21-I-67 AMOUNT FROM $1,000 PREMIUM PAY TO $1,200 PREMIUM PAY. I'M SORRY.
>> NO ESTIMATE. I JUST HAVE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
[BACKGROUND] THE AMOUNT IS UNDETERMINED.
YOU'LL HAVE TO DO YOUR OWN MATH.
DO THE RULES. MR. BLACK TO THE RULES, PREVENT THIS FROM BEING DISCUSSED OR CONSIDERED IN THIS MEETING.
BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A [OVERLAPPING].
>> THERE'S NO WRITTEN AMENDMENT THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED TO THE BODY, SO TECHNICALLY IN A ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER, THE CHAIR SHOULD AND COULD REQUIRE THE AMENDMENTS BE MADE AND PUT INTO WRITING.
THAT WOULD BE THE DISCRETION OF THE CHAIR AT THIS TIME.
>> WELL, I'M GOING TO USE MY DISCRETION. LET YOU VOTE.
>> THAT'S FOR IMMEDIATE CONSIDERATION OF THE SUBSTITUTE MOTION.[OVERLAPPING]
>> MEMBERS THAT'S NON-DEBATABLE.
STAY BY. LET'S BE CLEAR ON WHAT WE'RE VOTING ON.
THERE'S AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION THAT'S CURRENTLY BEING CONSIDERED.
THE AMENDMENT IS TO PROVIDE THE PREMIUM PAY AT A RATE OF $1,200 TO EACH EMPLOYEE IN LIEU OF THE $1,000 THAT IS CURRENTLY IN ORDINANCE 21-I-67.
>> JUDGE, THAT POINT OF CLARIFICATION, I HAVE MY MIC TURNED ON TO TRY TO ASK A QUESTION PRIOR TO THE.
>> I JUST WANT TO SEE IF, HUTCH, CAN WE AFFORD $1,200?
>> GREAT. TWENTY PERCENT TO [INAUDIBLE]
[00:15:01]
>> THAT IS NOT A NO, THAT'S A YES.
>> IT IS ILLEGAL EXPENSE IN OUR PERFORMANCE.
>> THANK YOU. [BACKGROUND] MS. MASSEY, ON THE AMENDMENT?
>> YES. MY QUESTION IS, BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE 1,200 IS ON THE FLOOR NOW, IF FOR SOME REASON THIS FAILS, WHAT HAPPENS? DO WE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL OR IS THAT IT?
>> THAT'S CORRECT, MA'AM. THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND THE MOTION BEING CONSIDERED NOW IS A MOTION TO AMEND THE MOTION THAT IS ON THE FLOOR.
IF THE AMENDMENT FAILS OR IF THE AMENDMENT PASSES, WHICHEVER, WE GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCE, 21-I-67, AND WILL EITHER VOTE ON IT AS IT'S PRESENTED OR WE WOULD VOTE ON IT AS AMENDED IF THE AMENDMENT PASSES.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THERE BEING NONE, MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF PREMIUM PAY IN ORDINANCE 21-I-67.
>> EIGHT YESES, ONE ABSTENTION, SIX NAYS.
>> I THINK I HAD COUNTED AS WELL.
>> SIMPLE MAJORITY FOR AN AMENDMENT.
>> IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME TO CHANGE MY VOTE?
>> YES, MA'AM. MEMBERS THE AMENDMENT IS PASSED.
THAT NOW TAKES US BACK TO THE ORDINANCE 21-I-67 NOW AMENDED.
IS THERE ADDITIONAL COMMENT, QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? MR. STOWERS, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED, FOUR WORDS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT, MR. STOWERS.
MADAM CLERK, THERE BEING NO MORE DISCUSSION ON THIS FIRST ITEM IN THE NIGHT, WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL FOR THE PASSAGE OF 21-I-67 AS AMENDED?
>> I'VE GOT NINE YESES, ONE ABSTENTION, AND FIVE NAYS.
>> IT'S FAR TWO ABSTENTIONS, AND 10 AYES.
>> MADAM CLERK ARE YOU GIVEN THAT COUNT? TAKE YOUR TIME TO DOUBLE CHECK IT. THAT'S FINE.
>> MS. MATLAB, WHAT WAS YOUR ANSWER?
>> MY APOLOGIES. TEN AYES, ONE ABSTENTION, AND FOUR.
>> I THOUGHT MR. ELLIOT SAID NO.
[00:20:02]
I APOLOGIZE MR. ELLIOT.TEN YESES, TWO ABSTENTIONS, AND THREE NAYS.
MY APOLOGIES FOR THE CONFUSION.
>> NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY, TAKE THE TIME YOU NEED.
