DISCUSSION OF PERSONNEL CLASSIFICATION AND SALARY SURVEY STUDY Chairman Scurlock noted that he had added to the agenda today discussion to clarify the Board's position in regard to the presentation made on the recent study done re personnel classification and salaries. He believed after the presentation made by the consultants that the mood of the Commissioners was that the blue collar portion of it was somewhat acceptable, but that there were some significant questions about the study. He realized there has been a lot of reaction to the proposed plan, and he just wanted to say that the Board has not accepted this as the final document as it needs some fine tuning. Commissioner Eggert believed it may need even more than fine tuning because she is concerned not only about the philosophy used, but the job evaluation levels. Commissioner Bird asked how our contract reads if we start making significant demands for additional data from the consultant, and Administrator Balczun stated that he would have to reread it. Commissioner Eggert felt they would need to come and clarify what they have done and why. She did not accept the premise that has been handed us, which is that all government does it this way; therefore, it is right. Chairman Scurlock believed the market survey leaves plenty of questions, and noted some analysis he has done of comparisons he obtained by calling around clearly indicates there is a discrepancy. Discussion followed about a possible workshop, and Chairman Scurlock noted that he met yesterday with Administrator Balczun and Personnel Director Blankenship about some concerns. If you look just at the white collar workers portion and look at - positions, not people, he believed there are some glaring inconsistencies, and he wants them to come here and justify how they got to that point. 75 APR 2 s 7988 BOOK 72 Fr1UE 234
