SMITH UNEMPLOYMENT C0MPENSATION – Tom
Burns proposed that the Town pay Tina Smith $7000 in lieu of her filing
for unemployment. He stated
that she would be eligible for $6916.00 unemployment for the first 6
months after she leaves and would very possibly be able to get an
extension after that so it would be advantageous for the town to pay her
this amount. Commissioner
McCallister made a motion that the Town pay Ms. Smith $7000 and have her
sign a contract stating she would not file for unemployment.
Commissioner Wagner seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. |

Mayor
Combs asked about Sheila Hansen taking over Tina Smith’s position.
This is a full time position and must be approved by the Commission.
It was decided this would be discussed at the Budget Workshop.
Attorney
Mike Chesser was asked about the status of a possible lawsuit on Baby J’s
barge café. He stated that there is
not a lawsuit and that Mr. Laird had sent a letter asking to bring Baby J’s up
before the Commission again because he felt that there was a conflict of
interest when Mayor Combs voted. Attorney
Mike Chesser explained that there was no conflict of interest because there was
no monetary value involved in the decision.
He stated that Mr. Laird could bring Baby J’s up before the Commission
again if he made a change in the application.
Attorney Mike Chesser will write a letter to Mr. Laird explaining this.
-
Mayor Combs reminded the Commission that the decision to allow the
exception had to be made based on compatibility and Attorney Mike Chesser stated
that what is in the record had to be clear.
