Darcy Vasilas, Interim Executive Aide (former assistant to the Executive Aide), provided a <br />hand out (copy on file) that detailed her proposed Option 6, asking the Board to consider the hiring <br />of five individual Commissioner Assistants and the addition of an Office <br />Coordinator/Receptionist. She asked that she be issued the position of Office Coordinator. Ms. <br />Vasilas would accept a pay reduction. She disclosed that by eliminating the Executive Aide <br />position and selecting Option 6, the County could effect a 25% budget cut in personnel. <br />Detailed discussion ensued among the Commissioners, Human Resources Director James <br />Sexton, Attorney Collins, and Ms. Vasilas regarding Option #6 and the proposed Office <br />Coordinator's responsibilities, pay grade, financial considerations, and organizational structure. <br />The Commissioners, with the exception of Chairman Wheeler, wanted to place the position under <br />the direction of the County Administrator.
