At last Tuesday\u2019s fiscal court meeting, the magistrates approved a resolution to file an application for Federal Coronavirus Relief Fund (CARES Act) money to provide an Employee Recognition Payment to essential county employees, including sheriff\u2019s deputies, EMS employees, the county clerk\u2019s office, road department, water department and others. Judge-Executive Pat White, Jr. said the funding would provide an Employee Recognition Payment to the employees. \u201cWe have some employees that have faced some really difficult circumstances,\u201d White said. \u201cSome of these services can\u2019t close.\u201d While the dollar amount of the ERP has not been set, White said it would be a one-time payment. \u201cWe are only allowed to do one payment a year,\u201d White explained. In other business the magistrates: Approved a request to reappoint Linda Carter to the Whitley County Library Board. Approved the renewal of the contract to hire employees to escort state inmate work crews. White said the county must file an application with the state to have these crews perform work for the county, such as at the recent Dumpster Days in Goldbug."}
