Year on behalf of her office. Susie praised her staff for their exceptional efforts
during the 1994 election. The Commissioners will take the Clerk's Office staff to
breakfast to celebrate a job well done.
2. A copy of the Board's 1995 retreat minutes were shared with the department heads.

meeting schedule were discussed. Please contact the Board's office if you need a set
of these minutes.
3. Al Driver was introduced as the new director of Solid Waste. The Board took action
to separate Solid Waste from the Public Works Department. Larry Rice will
continue as director of Public Works.
4. Mike Maier distributed a memo outlining conduct during the union election period.
Discussion of dos and don'ts followed. There were questions regarding the
December adoption of the County's time management program. The Board will
request a written opinion from the labor attorney on whether the implementation of
the program would include represented or only nonrepresented employees.
It was stressed that management personnel not put themselves in a position to have
an unfair labor act filed against the County. Please contact Mike Maier or Legal
Counsel with any questions. They will respond in writing.
5. The Board's position on Measure 8 was restated. There will be a separate
accounting of the 6 percent PERS funds. These funds will be set aside for each
employee until the final outcomes of the lawsuits challenging the validity of the
measure is known. The County has taken action to make the employee's 6 percent
PERS payment pre-tax to lessen the impact of the deduction on take-home pay.
Quality Services Performed with Pride
