Henn sen commented on the soft hiring freeze passed October 5, 2010 and asked if we are following the spirit of that resolution in which positions must be essential. Discussion. Johnson indicated the resolutions on today's agenda are a variety of positions from on -call to filling vacancies due to retirement and new positions approved in the budget. All positions have followed the review process and were brought to the HHS Board. Vice Chair Wentz stated that position requests brought before the HHS Board and Administration Committee are not taken lightly. Timmerman indicated the review policy requires the County Board to review each vacant position and decide whether it's needed or not. Rather then have Johnson explain the need for each position and take up more time, if the Board is in the position of wanting to approve these positions it could move that by being provided the justifications for the positions and having reviewed them individually that would cover the need for the review and then the Board could add to the motion that the review has been completed, they are approved and the resolution is adopted. Request by Supr. Marzolf to end debate. Supr. Hermsen objected. Motion by Supr. Marzolf, 2nd by Supr. Horne to end debate. Passes: Yes — 15; No — 3.
