Legislative Issues: It is mainly budget issues at this time. The State has had the
smallest percentage revenue increase in a long time.
Line Staff Organization Chart: Supr. Peterson would like to have a visual chart drawn
up, showing who reports to who at the Department Head level. Whiting also stated
there should be a "standard" as to who reports to whom.
Also mentioned was who has input into performance evaluations of Department Heads?
The committee decided that any committee who has contact with a Department Head
should have input into their performance appraisals.
Committee decided to wait and see what happens with the Springsted evaluation.
Secretary Seminar Report: County Clerk Sue Nelson reported that 13 County
secretaries attended the August 29 informational seminar. The purpose of the seminar
was to standardize committee minute formats. Brenda LaValley from WITC, New
Richmond, gave the presentation. A future get- together will be planned to discuss and
exchange ideas.
Rules and By -Laws: Supr. Peterson felt that not having a County Board meeting in
July hampered rezonements, thus making the Zoning Department's job more difficult.
Peterson thinks we need to look at this more closely.
Motion by O'Connell, 2 nd by Peterson to adjourn at 11:15 A.M. Carried.
