The Hamblen County Commission met on Thursday and passed a resolution that should save county some money by changing a sheriff69制片厂制作传媒檚 office employee from an hourly pay designation to salary.

Hamblen County Sheriff69制片厂制作传媒檚 Office Chief Deputy Bob Ellis offered this year to switch to a salary schedule to save taxpayers money. Ellis works a full week of office hours during the week and also goes out on calls several times per week to support deputies in the field.

The resolution the county passed on Thursday moved money from one sheriff69制片厂制作传媒檚 office line item to another; no budget was increased to cover any costs. Ellis has been working on a salary schedule since August.

Mullins and Ellis are in Mullins69制片厂制作传媒� first term as sheriff, and as time has progressed and Ellis started to build up overtime hours Mullins said Ellis broached the topic of switching to salary to save taxpayer money.

69制片厂制作传媒淗e himself said, 69制片厂制作传媒楶ut me on salary 69制片厂制作传媒� it will save the county money,69制片厂制作传媒�69制片厂制作传媒� Mullins said.

The maneuver does 69制片厂制作传媒渞aise69制片厂制作传媒� the pay of a chief deputy by moving $9,500 from overtime appropriations into the salary budget for the position, but that is roughly half of the overtime pay Ellis would have received over the course of a year to recognize the time Ellis does work over 40 hours per week.

Mullins said Ellis69制片厂制作传媒� overtime for the 2023-2024 fiscal year was nearly $20,000.

69制片厂制作传媒淚 do not get overtime now,69制片厂制作传媒� Ellis explained to Commissioner Edna Greene. 69制片厂制作传媒淚 work the same amount of hours, I come in when needed, I do what needs to be done, but I don69制片厂制作传媒檛 get paid any extra to do it.69制片厂制作传媒�

Greene had expressed doubt that the maneuver would save the county money.

Mullins said, 69制片厂制作传媒�(The Hamblen County Commission) gave him a $9500 raise and zero overtime. So it will save the county over $10,000.

The Commission approved new fees and regulations at Cherokee Park starting January 1, 2025.

The decision has been made to eliminate long term camping rentals in favor of shorter stay permits to encourage more tourism and availability for more camp sites.

There are several long term tenants at Cherokee Park and they have been given until December 2027 to find other arrangements.
