Re: [CORSA-broadcast] 27th pay period
by Emily Marth Aug. 18, 2015

Aug. 18, 2015

Per the Knox County Administrator: Hourly people were paid 27 pays that year. Elected officials set salary was divided over the 27 pay periods as they can't be paid more than the statutory salary amount. Salary employees when we turn in the certification each year, we list the salary amount for every two weeks. If a department lists a yearly salary on the wage certification, then you must divide the same up over the 27 pay periods. -----Original Message----- From: "Stacy Wilson" <swilson(a)seneca-county.com> To: corsa-broadcast(a)corsa.org Date: 08/18/15 12:34 Subject: [CORSA-broadcast] 27th pay period Seneca County has hit a 27th pay period for 2015, the last time an extra pay period to hit our county was in 2004.

Salaried employees is up to departments, but very few salaried employees. Elected officials are usually prorated for 27 pays, but in our case the last 2 times this happened while I have been here, Commissioners made a last minute decision to change year of 27 pays due to budgeting, so this did not leave us the choice to prorate EO's pay, so in that case, I had to drop their 27th pay. This only happens every 11 years. The critical deduction to watch is the deferred compensation, to be sure no one goes over the legal limit, otherwise, our employees want us to keep as a deduction on their pay. So we only change those that have reached their maximum under the 26 payrolls. Also watch any flexible spending accounts.

"Are Your Roadway Signs Still Visible???" Vegetation Management Resources are Available
by Tricia Callihan Aug. 18, 2015

Aug. 18, 2015

Good morning everyone, I hope your summer has gone well and you were able to enjoy some of the nice growing weather we are finally starting to receive. I wanted to pass along a technical bulletin (see below) that I received from Ohio LTAP. In the past, CORSA has paid a few claims where the underlying cause was vegetation obstructing a road sign. Feel free to share with the County Engineer and whomever else may benefit.

Vegetation Management Resources are Available As summer is in full swing, roadway signs are becoming less visible in many locations due to tree and plant growth. Vegetation seems to grow over night and on our roadways, vegetation can block drivers' views of traffic signs. It is important to address vegetation management concerns on roadways to keep all of your signs and other roadway features visible. To help you with this task, we have identified a couple of easy-to-use resources: 1. Vegetation Control for Safety: A Guide for Local Highway and Street Maintenance Personnel - This is a booklet developed by the Federal Highway Administration and available for free download at: http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/local_rural/training/fhwasa07018/ The booklet provides a great checklist for your vegetation management program, including: * Sign Visibility * Clear Sight Lines * Drainage * Side Road Visibility * Roadside Trees 2. NHI Web-based Training Course - Roadside Vegetation Management - This is a free online course provided by the National Highway Institute (NHI). You can link to the course information and registration information at: http://www.nhi.fhwa.dot.gov/training/course_search.aspx#course_search.aspx?… Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to: * Describe why vegetation control is important to roadway safety and performance * Identify the types of equipment used for mechanical vegetation control * Identify types of herbicide vegetation management methods, their use, environmental control, and precautions * Describe the requirements of a noxious weed control program This Web-based course is still free of charge through the end of 2015. Per NHI, please note that a fee of $25 per participant will be implemented starting in 2016. The Ohio LTAP Center 1980 W.
