near the $3 million mark, well below the anticipated claims level. He will try to have a
breakdown of claims for the next meeting.
Whiting noted that the Springsted representatives met with the department heads
on Friday to discuss the upcoming personnel study. He indicated that in this phase of the
project, department heads would be asked to formulate mission statements and core
requirements of the department (and job) and submit those to Springsted for compilation.
He will setup a list of dates for meetings with department heads, and supervising
committee members are encouraged to attend. He wants this study to focus on what
departments do —their work priorities.

doing performance evaluations on department heads. Included on the next agenda would
be the Springsted update, health insurance update, and a closed session for planning
