BOOK 63 rn,E 712 Chairman Scurlock addressed the recommendations and stated that he is not in favor of the retroactivity and felt such a stand is consistent with what we have always done. On the issue of the topped out people, he felt that has been resolved to some extent since we have already authorized the study to document what positions should be reevaluated and noted that he asked the Administrator to look at those topped out positions specifically. If the Administrator does identify that there are categories that are out of line, then whatever process is necessary to correct this should be initiated. Commissioner Lyons advised that he supported the Adminis- trator's recommendations. He had no problem if we find the topped out situation is something that should be acted on quickly as he felt something can be set up to do that, but he would go along with the Administrator's recommendation re the time, the amount of increase, and the treatment of the topped out people. Commissioner Bowman concurred. She stated that she was just glad to have this grievance matter aired and hoped the supervisors would take it upon themselves to see that their employees understand it. Commissioner Bird stated that he basically would go along with the Administrator's recommendations. He believed the merit type increase and the way it is set up represents a fair and equitable increase to our blue collar workers, that it does put into the overall blue collar workers pool an amount at least equal to or in excess of what 4% across the board would have given them, and that it is consistent with the increases we have granted so far this year. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously approved the Administrator's recommendations and directed the Administrator specifically to take a look at the topped out positions. 22
