objective look. He further noted that what Ms. Deeb is pre- <br />senting on the screen today is the first the Commissioners have <br />seen of any of this plan. <br />Administrator Balczun believed Mr. Blankenship is the only <br />person who has seen the final data, and Ms. Deeb confirmed that <br />he is the only one she sent anything to, but she did not know <br />whom he may have shared it with. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that he has asked Bill to preserve <br />all the raw data unmanipulated as received in the event we <br />sometime want to go back and look at it, and he has done that. <br />Administrator Balczun stressed that they wanted a safeguard <br />built into the system to insure however someone ultimately felt <br />about their classification, there was not one person who could <br />think that their job or someone else's was "wired." <br />The Chairman further noted that with this study being <br />absolutely independent, we were not sure we could afford it; so, <br />we asked them to come in with a phasing planwhere we could <br />implement what we could as we go along. <br />Ms. Deeb agreed what good is theory if it isn't implement- <br />able. She emphasized that the classification plan was their <br />recommendation. It was done fairly early on, and they shared <br />that with Bill. She believed he disseminated that to departments <br />head; but Mr. Blankenship stated that he did not. <br />Ms. Deeb noted that, in essence, the department heads saw <br />the titles because the next step was to actually sit down and <br />evaluate all the jobs. To do that, they used a core committee <br />comprised of Jeanie, herself, Bill and the other two profes- <br />sionals in Personnel. They tried to speak to every division <br />head and evaluate one or two jobs in their area. In that sense <br />they saw the reclassification plan because they saw the titles - <br />not the person's names, just the titles. They evaluated one job <br />across 11 factors, and after that Personnel sat down with the <br />Division heads and evaluated the rest of the jobs in their area. <br />It is critical that there was some consistency maintained. <br />APR 21 1988 <br />7 <br />BOOK 72 FAE 140 <br />
