Chairman Scurlock advised that it is proposed that this person would administer what was approved in the budget, and Mr. Baird would be the person at our end. Commissioner Bird felt it is a good job description. He stressed that he would like to keep the lines of communication open and would like to submit this job description to the North County Fire Advisory Board to get their input. Chairman Scurlock felt one of the major benefits of doing this is that it provides a mechanism for reporting to the Commission. He believed the reason the recent incident came immediately before the Comnission is that there was not that person there to handle it. Having an administrator provides a channel. The way it is now would be like having all our department heads report directly to the Commission rather than through Mr. Balczun. The Chairman reaffirmed that this is his recommendation, and he assumed Commissioner Bowman would take it back to the Advisory Committee. Commissioner Eggert believed some mention had been made of a part time salary and asked if the thought was to relate it to hours of time spent on this. Chairman Scurlock advised that he thought of two things - $5,000 part time salary, trying to equate that to the amount of time the individual would have to spend, and also, quite frankly, the ability of the District to pay. He believed we already gave Mr. Balczun direction during the budget hearings to look at all of our personnel in terms of car allowance vs. mileage, and he believed he would do that with Mr. Wright, if we eventually - approve the position. Commissioner Bird asked if this would be paid by the Fire District and would be in addition to Mr. Wright's present salary. Chairman Scurlock confirmed it would be paid by the District and would be an increase of Mr. Wright's salary from $29,000 to about $34,000, plus fringes, etc. JUL 2 �9�7 4' BOOK roc.
