No other citizens were present. The meeting began at 1: 30 p.m. 1. Discussion regarding a Management Agreement with the Sheriff s Special Service Districts. Dave Kanner gave an overview of the item. He said it would be easier and cleaner to have management agreements between the County and the Districts, with the County being the governing body and the budget being handled by the Budget Committee. Funds would be transferred to the Sheriff s Office for operations. Sheriff Stiles stated that he had concerns about segregating the funds of the two Districts. Mr. Kanner replied that two separate budgets would be required. Laurie Craghead added that the Districts would have no authority regarding capital assets and maintenance, so there would be no need for reserves. Mr. Kanner said that the Sheriff would have discretion on how to spend the funding for operations. He wants to keep the process as simple as possible. This will be placed on the December 13 agenda for further discussion. 2. Discussion of 9-1-1 Employees' Collective Bargaining Agreement. Mark Amberg stated that the agreement has been approved by the union; it is a two-year rollover agreement. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Monday, December 4, 2006 Page 1 of 3 Pages 3.
