Safety Committee Chairman Dwight “Mike” Healy called the meeting to order at 12:45 p.m.
Request to Fill
Position in Sheriff’s Office
Jail
Administrator Christopher Ivers presented a request to fill the position of
Nurse (NYSNA Union) in the Sheriff’s Office which will become vacant due to a
resignation effective November
12, 2010. This Nurse works the C-line shift from 4:30 to midnight, Monday through Friday. Legislator Pullen asked if we are required to
have a nurse work that shift. Mr. Ivers
indicated that it would certainly be the best practice. Mr. Ivers indicated that we do a lot of
booking during that time period, and we want to medically screen everyone as
soon as possible so that they can then be classified. The Nurse also makes sure all the medications
are taken care of and in order. There is
a lot of paperwork that must be taken care of to meet state and federal
standards. It also saves trips to the
emergency room. It is a civil service,
non-competitive position, and Mr. Ivers indicated that he would like to
advertise for the position just as soon as possible to ensure a reasonable pool
of applicants. The request was approved
on a motion by Legislator Burdick, seconded by Legislator Benson and
carried. Refer to County Administrator
and Ways & Means Committee
Adjournment
There being no further business to
come before the committee, a motion was made by Legislator Burdick, seconded by
Legislator Benson and carried to adjourn the meeting at 12:51 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Brenda Rigby Riehle, Clerk of the Board
