His presentation involved discussion on unemployment claims and the way Gibbons Company handles them. At present the County uses the direct reimbursement method to handle unemployment claims. Mr. Raphael related that they could use alternative methods which would also involve representation in a court case should it become necessary. The Gibbons Company would handle all the necessary cases, and paperwork and also does a thorough checkup on the unemployment applicatant. The cost for the County to deal with Gibbons Company would be about 3~ per hundred dollars paid.to County employees. This would come to be around $5,400.00, payable quarterly, which is noted to be less than what the County itself spends on unemployment in the past. All mileage, and other work by the Gibbons Company is included in the initial fee. Chairman Young suggested that Mr. Raphael leave some material on this with Mike Maier to review at a later date. Discussion was then ended. Next, Mr. Neil Hudson of the Road Department held a discussion on the Road Department budget. Commissioner Paulson read the document dated July 25, 1980 stating proposals for the Road Department budget. One discussion on the budget was regarding Twin Bridges. There is $81,000.00 proposed to restore the bridge so that it doesn't get to the point where it will deteriorate and collaspe. Commissioner Shepard questioned :--spending so much on a bridge that isn't used.- much and would it be necessary. If not, couldn't the bridge just be closed down. It was decided that a public hearing would have to be held to discuss this matter in more detail and notify the neighbors around the bridge. A date was not yet set for this hearing. Another discussion on the budget was on the Terrebonne oil mats. These are on public ways and is the one on which an agreement was made with the Farm Home Administration to do this. In was in the budget earlier but was never gotten around to because of the fact that rock was not delivered up there. The developer up there is obligated to pay for a part of it, and the FHA is trying to get the County to follow up on their part of the agreement to do the roads. This mostly contains raising some foundations. But if the road is left the way it is the problem will not be totally resolved. The road needs an oil mat on it so as not to have drainage problems. This would not include doing ditching on this project. It is budgeted though, that under emergency situations we are legally eligible to go in and do this. Chairman Young stated that he was in favor of this project. Also discussed was regarding Knott Road to do base paving using our own men and equipment. County costs are budgeted for this at $100,000.00. Because of the short haul to the cinder pit nearby it would be able to be completed inexpensively. Another topic discussed on the Road Department budget was regarding Dodd's Bridge out towards Alfalfa. This road is an only route, with long detours surrounding. This bridge is already restricted to 10 tons. The budgeted cost for this project is $29,000.00. The next item mentioned on the Road Department Budget was a project on Denser Road. There is a budgeted $325,000.00, which is to bring the road up to County standards. Commissioner Shepard had some question as to whether this amount would bring it up to the standard. This cost will not bring it up to City standards. The City estimates this cost at $400,000.00. Neil Hudson proposed to give the city the $325,000.00 budgeted from the Road Department and let them do the building of Denser Road all the way up to Butler Road, which would then be in the County. The project is not proposed for this summer, but for next year. Neil had not taken this to the City because he wanted to talk with the Board on this matter first. The discussion was ended deciding to set up a public hearing on the matter of Twin Bridges and notifying the surrounding neighbors. The next item on the agenda was a discussion on the reorganization of the Public Works Department presented by Neil Hudson. MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to approve the reclassification and reorganization of the Department outlined in the July 25, 1980 meeting. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.

MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON made a motion to approve the appointment of the people above mentioned. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. Commissioner Shepard brought up a discussion on the differences on Sanitary Districts and Special Sewer Districts. Special Sewer Districts put more obligation on the County than do Sanitary Road Districts. Kay Nelson of LaPine is working on a special sewer district, which there is a hearing scheduled for August 6, 1980 at which this will be presented. This was under discussion for information that might want to be researched before the hearing on August 6. Next discussion.was some confusion on the Comprehensive Plan project and the land use application filing date.. There is no definite filing date on them. Commissioner Paulson had some concern in this and will be talking to Mr. John Andersen, Planning Director, about this matter. He expressed concern to establish a County definition on what the actual filing date is. --2-- The next item to be discussed was an Order to institute a cost of living adjustment increase to all county employees not already out of their respective salary range.
