Commissioner Lowther felt the opportunity of having dual -certified employees will be cost <br />effective. <br />County Administrator Jim Chandler felt if we have the ability to utilize our employees in <br />both services and acquire some change in the level of service then that should be re -negotiated and <br />brought back to the Board. Potentially this means re -negotiating the existing contracts. <br />Commissioner Ginn was adamant that she did not want anyone to come back to her asking <br />to reopen the contracts. It is less than 90 days since the contracts were signed and there is no clause <br />referring to certifications. <br />Chairman Macht directed Director King to research allowing individuals to maintain their <br />current status and bring his recommendations back to the Board before any action is taken. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Neuberger, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (5-0) authorized the <br />Director of Emergency Services John King to begin discussions with <br />dual -certified employees' representatives on ways to enhance the level of <br />service to help dual -certified employees retain their licensure with minimal <br />impact to the single -certified employees of the Fire Division and the <br />Emergency Management Services Division and bring recommendations <br />back to the Board. <br />14.11.
