ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
October 1, 2002
Meeting called to order at 9:03 A.M. by Chair Luckey.
Members present: Don Jordan, Linda Luckey, Julie Speer and Daryl Standafer. One
vacancy.
Others present: Veterans' Service Officer Lorin Sather, County Board Chairman Buck
Malick and Administrative Coordinator Chuck Whiting.
Next meeting: Tuesday, November 5, 2002 9:00 A.M.
Adoption of Agenda: Motion by Standafer, 2nd by Jordan to adopt the agenda as
published. Carried.
Adoption of Minutes: Motion by Standafer, 2 by Jordan to approve the amended
September 3` minutes. Speer opposed the changing of the final paragraph under
"Procedures for filling vacancies on County Board." Motion carried.
Reclassification in Veterans' Service Office: Sather explained to the Committee the
reason for the new job description. More responsibilities have been added to the CVSO
Secretary position, warranting a new updated job description and a position upgrade from
a 2 to a 4. Motion by Speer, 2 nd by Standafer to support the description and upgrade, but
to call the position "CVSO Secretary ". Carried.
Legislative Issues: Chairman Malick reported that the WCA Resolutions discussed at
last month's meeting were acted upon as the Committee recommended. A few minor
changes were made, but Chair Malick feels we would have agreed with the changes.
Supr. Standafer thinks similar resolutions should be combined at the Resolution
Committee level before they are submitted to the Counties.
Levy limits and health insurance were a couple of the main topics of discussion at the
convention. Some of the trends among Counties were splitting the cost and a higher
deductible. The State is talking about taking over responsibility for some circuit court
costs.
Video Conferencing Equipment purchasing is another area that needs to be checked out.
The Public Protection Committee needs to check into this. A change in State Statutes
would be needed. A joint resolution with Public Protection was suggested. Contracting
or consolidating with other Counties would be some routes to consider when deciding on
the video equipment.
County Board Goals: Whiting has not had time to prepare anything at this time. Supr.
Standafer asked if we had the software to do codification. Whiting thinks "Access" could
handle it.
What goals have County Committees chosen? Chair Luckey read off some that were
proposed originally and most of them are being worked on or have been met.
County Board Chair Malick asked the Committee if they planned to have Larry Swain
conduct a second workshop in the Spring of 2003 or do they want to get someone else.
Standafer said it would not be good to abandon what Swain has already started. We need
to follow through on what already has been started.
Rules and By -Laws: Consent Agenda: Some response has been received from
Supervisors. The Committee agreed that we need to try the agenda a while longer in its
present format. Everyone needs to reach a "comfort zone" in its use.
Nothing in the Rules and By -Laws addresses what happens when a vacancy occurs mid-
term within an elected committee. The committee discussed at length where this should
be added in the Rules and By -Laws and how it should read. Motion by Jordan, 2 °a by
Standafer to add it on Page 1 after Section E. The resolution to read: Should a vacancy
occur on an elected county committee, aside from the organization meeting, an elected
committee member may run for and be elected to that committee, but if elected,
automatically vacates his/her previously elected committee seat. Motion carried.
There was some discussion on the status of the County Land Conservationist and the
County Parks Director positions. PZAP and LWCC are working through the process
outlined by the Administration Committee. Nothing has come before the Personnel
Committee yet.
The Committee discussed minutes. Supr. Jordan expressed his discomfort with sending
out "Unofficial Committee Minutes ". The majority of the Committee agreed that it is not
a good practice.
Meeting adjourned at 11:16 A.M.
