Chairman Garrett referred to Item VI - Cantinued considera~ion of ~
a new County Personnel Policy.
Upon motion of Co~nissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner
Gustaveson, it was moved that the Board adopt the County Personnel
Policy as written, effec~ive July 1, 1976, since it was going to be
a policy instead of an OrdinanCe. .
~~Chairman Garrett stated that she did not mind the wor~,po~li_c~_as
long as it is going to be inforced as strongly and as strict yl as`~3'f
it were an Ordi.nance. "2 think if we are doing spmething that is
going to be a poli.cy and nobody is going to pay attention to, then
we are wasti.ng our time." ~
Commissioner Walker replied, "it will be enforced as long as this
Bpard sees that it is enforced."
Com¢nissioner Whitted questioned one item that had to do with this -
year's budget and he inquired if appropriations had been made concerning
the longevity pay. The Finance Officer replied thdt this had been in-
cluded in the proposed budget. ~
Discussion ensued concerning longevity pay.
Commissioner Pinney stated that he had questions on Page 38 of
the Ordinance. Page 38, S2ction 7, subsection (b). Chairman Garrett
read subsection (b) and inquired of Cammissioner Pinney, "Your concern ~
iS?"
He replied that there were some whit~ people that would fall in ~
this category. "There are people who can not read and things like
this and would fall into a category that would come in this section."
Cha~.rman Gaxrett stated that she agxeed with Commissioner Pinney
and that the Ordinance attempted to address a universal problem.
Discussion ensued.
It was agreed by aonsensus of the Soard that the Ordinance shouJ.d --
contain the wording as follows: "2n keeping with both of these require-
ments, the Covnty will make every effort to hire minority group appli-
cants and individuals with special handicaps who may not be fully
qualified for a particular job, provided that the deficiencies are such
that they can be eliminated through orientation and on the job training."
Chairman Garrett called attention te the zequirement that a
Grievance Board should be appointed.
Chairman Garrett called fpr a vote on the motion of Commissioner
~ Walker. All members of the Board voted aye and the motion was passed.

order to Complete the Agenda. •
Commissioner Walker stated that he must leave and he was excused.
;
Chairman Garrett referred to Item V22: Repoxts from the County
Attorney;
l. Release of Insolvents PeXSOnal Property Taxes levied before
1965. ~ _
Mrs. GArrett recognized A. B. Coleman, Jr., County Attorney, and
he advised the Board that they must first make the decision that the
personal property taxes for the period from 1929 were uncollectable.
He stated that he saw them as a liability to the County as the Tax
Supervisor must continue to carry these accounts on his tax books.
The statistic reveal for this period of time the uncollectable tax
amounts to $1,118,000. He stated that this amounted to $2,500 per
year over a 47 year period and the problem involved is one of locating
the delinquent tax payers.
7'he Finance Officer stated that even if the Board released the
taxes, it would not prohibit the collection of the taxes, if the citizens
voluntarily came forth to pax their accounts.
