Explanation
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Public Safety to recognize a moral obligation to pay wages to Mr. Ramon Spears, a former employee of Public Safety, for inadvertently working 8 1/2 hours more than the allotted 480 hours allowed for temporary employees. Mr Spears worked 35 1/2 hours for the pay period ending 12/30/2006, which put him 8 1/2 hours more than the allotted 480 hours. He was employed by Safety's neighborhood safety working group as a coordinator of juvenile activities at the Driving Park Recreational Center. Public Safety requests a moral obligation payment of $128.83 to be made to Mr Ramon Spears for wages earned by inadvertently working 8 1/2 hours over the allotted time of 480 hours.
Emergency designation is requested so Mr Spears can be paid his wages in a timely manner.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this expenditure are from unencumbered federal grant funds specifically requested to curtail juvenile gang activities.
