    I am looking for recommendations for purchasing card vendors. We would like to have someone come in and talk to us about implementing a p-card program.

    Thanks!

    Councilman and city/town employee payment/benefits 02/02/2012

        If a city/town employee is elected to the council and is paid for both positions, what effect does that have on his overtime pay and benefits? Is there a state code governing this situation? Thank you for any input.

      Just wanted to check and see if other localities have proposed or passed resolutions in opposition of hunting on Sundays.  If a copy is available, and I can get a copy, that would be great. _

    Meals on Meeting Days 01/19/2012

    _  Do localities provide breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc. on Board/Council meeting days?  And, if Board/Council members meet with their constituents, staff, elected officials, etc. and pick up the tab for the meal, are they reimbursed by their locality.

    Office Space for Clerks 01/12/2012
    11 Comments
     
    _ During this budget cycle, I am requesting dedicated office space for the City Clerk and possibly a separate office or additional space for the City Council to have a place to go through their work, mail, meet with constituents, etc.  Currently I share an office with several people and it is not possible to have confidential meetings or quiet space to transcribe minutes, etc.  I would like to know if this is a common situation or if clerks and council typically have their own area.  Thank you.

    Water Billing in Small Towns 12/09/2011

    _ I would like to know from small Towns who have their own water billing, if any of them prorate? And if they prorate, does their software calculate it for them or do they have to determine how much they are going to prorate? Thanks!

    Notifying organizations after an Election 12/08/2011
    4 Comments
     
    _ Does your locality have a protocol for notifying organizations associated with your locality of the Board of Supervisors ELECT – Prior to the reorganizational meeting held in mid-January?

    My locality has 3 Board members and two will be replaced after the first of the year.  The County Administrator feels there should be some notifications sent out of this change now but wants to know if there’s any precedence set for this in another locality – as we have none.

    Note: notification will go out after the reorganization meeting January 12th – that will include Board information including who of them has been elected Chair and Vice Chair.

    Thank you.

    _ I am updating our Personnel Policy. Does anyone have a Workplace Violence policy that addresses employees carrying weapons in the workplace or storing weapons on the premises (including in vehicles parked at work)? Thanks!
