she feels it would need to come to the Board for approval, because that is what she <br /> feels we are facing. <br /> Quandt stated he agreed with Lancaster he questioned to what extent we want to do <br /> this. He stated we have to look at the income coming in and what's going out at the <br /> same time, we won't have control over the income. Quandt stated this is a train wreck <br /> waiting to happen, he noted that airlines are going down and travel and tourism and the <br /> jail numbers, how many departments are we going to get hit he questioned. Mr. Quandt <br /> stated he thinks good idea to have some control over spending, we have to do <br /> something he said. <br /> Hurst stated he thinks you have to use some common sense and that is what we have <br /> department heads for, he noted you can't nickel and dime every department. He stated <br /> he agrees we need to cut spending, but let the department heads use their common <br /> sense. <br /> Steve Riehle stated that he knows the Roads department has some big line items, and <br /> let the board know that one of the big items they have not moved forward with is the <br /> spring asphalt resurfacing, he is confident it will be over $200,000.00 of spring asphalt <br /> work they have not yet put out for bids <br /> Lancaster stated she is not talking about these kind of expenditures, this would have to <br /> come to the board anyways. <br /> Peterson stated the department heads should use a very common sense approach to <br /> limiting any new expenditures, until we know where we are at with this, Mr. Peterson <br /> stated to just but a dollar amount on it, he is not sure that is the way to do it. <br /> Bredthauer stated that at budget time they are going to have to be looking very close <br /> and very hard, she feels there will be no increase in anyone's budget, so they are going <br /> to have to go with what they had last year she stated. Bredthauer noted that with the <br /> COVID-19 we may not have employees, we may be short staffed we are going to have <br /> to look at that budget really hard next year. <br /> Peterson stated they are talking about between here and budget time, budget time will <br /> be different situation. <br /> Marty Klein had some questions he asked to seek some clarity for his employees, he <br /> has employees that may want to self-quarantine, I have people that are concerned <br /> because they have an auto immune disease and based on their Doctor they are ordered <br /> to stay home, what is going to be the expectation for them if they decide to self- <br /> quarantine for the benefit and safety for their own family he questioned. <br /> Lancaster stated in particular case of COVID-19 if they chose to self-quarantine but are <br /> not sick they could use vacation time, if they are sick or have a child that is sick they <br /> could use sick leave, or when they have a Doctor note stating they need to be home <br />
