Commissioner Scurlock wanted some assurance that no pay <br />increases would be proposed for other divisions such as Road & <br />Bridge or Fleet Management before budget time, and Administrator <br />Wright stated that he did not anticipate any as Planning and <br />Engineering are the only two divisions that are experiencing <br />difficulty in hiring people. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, that the Board reduce the <br />requirement of a Masters Degree for Planners to a <br />preferred status and approve the above pay grade <br />increases, as recommended by Administrator Wright; <br />with the understanding that the Board will not be <br />looking at any other departments before budget time <br />except Engineering. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Wodtke stated he would vote <br />against the Motion because he felt the time to make salary <br />adjustments was at budget time except in an extreme, single case. <br />Commissioner Bowman believed this is an extreme case, and <br />Administrator Wright stressed that we need people and cannot hire <br />any at these salary levels. <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt that salary was not the only thing <br />that attracts people to a job. <br />Commissioner Scurlock suggested that the County <br />Administrator and Director Keating contact universities in the <br />state to participate in an intern program. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />passed by a vote of 3-2, Commissioners Wodtke <br />and Bird dissenting. <br />MAR 2 7 1985 <br />13 <br />BOOK C'0 P"�GE 3 6 <br />J <br />
