including a flattening of the organizational chart and the creation
of case management teams. He requested that two of the Social
Worker positions be elevated to Master -level Social Workers who
could function as team leaders, per government guidelines. The re-
organization plan as presented represented an annualized cost

proposal had been reviewed and approved by the Human Services
Board.

Discussion regarding the use of flex -time scheduling by
departments in the County. General consensus that flexible
schedules which include portions of five working days were not a
concern to the Committee.. Area of concern centered on flexible
scheduling requests that would result in full-time employees
working less than five days in each week. Discussion regarding
whether or not the public is best served within the current 5-day
scheduling. The Committee decided to retain the revised Flex
Scheduling language in the policy.
Moved (Krueger, Nyland) and approved to remove the flex
scheduling issue from "tabled" status, per last meeting's action.
Moved (Nyland, Krueger) and approved to accept the revised Flexible
Schedule Policy: Bradley requested that the Committee review all
previous and pending requests for flexible scheduling at the next
Committee meeting. Requesting departments would receive copies of
the revised policy and they could submit updated requests if they
so chose. Requesting departments would be assigned meeting times
with the Committee.
Krizek updated the Committee on the potential impact of the
Governor's budget on County operations. He noted h0s remarks
before the Joint Legislative Committee.
Bradley' requested that the Committee be given information
regarding the PTO program and a review of its employee usage at the
next meeting.
The Committee discussed the revised Personnel Handbook which
had been previously mailed to them. The Handbook includes updated
policies from the current handbook, plus the addition of policies
and procedures that have been approved by the Committee during the
past few years. Motion (Bailey, Nyland) to accept the revised
Personnel Handbook for distribution on or about May 1, 1995. Roll
