MAY 51992 -009 49 PA -F J� Section 4 - Duties of the County Administrator - Item B, page 3 - regarding report to the Board on action taken and an annual report, it might be appropriate to establish a due date for the annual report that is to be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners so that this would be locked in concrete and a time certain date be estab- lished as to when the report should be submitted. Section 4 - Item K - regarding the employment or removal of a Depart- ment Head shall require confirmation by the.Board of County Commissioners. Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify whether or not the appointment must occur at an established Board Meeting based upon a written recommendation for one candidate by the County Administrator and as well as if the same procedure would be followed with regard to the removal of that Department Head.stating the reasons for the appointment and/or the written reasons for the removal as well. Section 4 - Item L - does the County Administrator need Board approval to suspend a Department Head? If that is the -.-.case perhaps we should expand Section K to cover dealing with the employment removal and/or reprimand and disciplinary action involved with a Department Head level employee. Gary I believe the ordinance to be very well written and if you would like to further discuss any of my thoughts and ideas I will be pleased to do so. Commissioner Lyons referred to the second paragraph in the memorandum and commented that he would not like the feeling of living year to year on a job; it did not seem to be a way for a person to feel a loyalty to their employer. Commissioner Bird agreed. Chairman Scurlock stated he did not have any problem with that recommendation. Commissioner Lyons also thought that establishing a due date for an annual report was a good idea. The Chairman inquired if there was a grievance procedure. Mr. Greene responded affirmatively. Discussion ensued regarding the proposed ordinance and the Board agreed to incorporate the suggestions as outlined and discussed in Mr. Greene's memorandum of April 30, 1982. In the second paragraph of Section 3 of the proposed ordinance, it was agreed to delete "and department heads" and "organize and" in the first sentence.
