“Well, originally, whenever you became chair, that was one of the... I handed it off. And you handed it off to me. And I held the torch until the torch went out.

“Right, right. So we're doing it now again. And basically in a nutshell, he's gonna come back and tell us where we are with market. And I'm not trying to cut you off, I just had a few questions and my list was getting a little long. Another thing is, whenever you're talking about the data collection portion, is he comparing us, and I heard you say to other government entities, is it, are you comparing us with another community like ours? Do you know? Because what I'm saying is you can't compare us with Fulton County. Correct.”

“Right, but I guess to make sure that the data that's being collected is the most efficient data, it has to be a mirror of Me personally, I mean for 35,000, I think we should look at it from where we are. And whenever we talk about workforce and future workforce, is this the same identity that we're looking for? Because of course, you know, Mr. Chair, here in Liberty County, we're being strongly focusing right now on education and literacy.

“Commissioner Gillard, you were right. No, what I'm saying is we keep doing this, but we understand that we have to increase. And I feel like this board, we've always, every year with budget, what we make sure is that we take care of our workforce. Like I said, the only time we didn't was when I first got on, and we was going through the struggles. And I remember that vividly. But since we've had that opportunity, we have. So... What I'm saying is, whenever we're looking at these pay scale studies, what's the bigger picture? I mean, with all due respect, you could put these numbers in and get…”

“Go ahead. But I understand what Commissioner Stevens is saying about that. That's why, again, I think this is needed. I think us as a county, we've always tried to make sure and strive that the foundation, which is you all are, you know, taking care of it to our best ability.

“And I agree 100%. But the reason why we're doing this, which you said earlier, is retention. Retention. And recruitment. There you go.
