VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
MAINTENANCE i SUPPORT SERVICES: Mashburn reported that Jim
Vernon's office was now included in this department. The request
for a new employee in maintenance is due to the new county
buildings/grounds being built. No changes.
GARAGE: The garage director has requested an office/breakroom
to be built off to one side of the existing open -bay garage. The
staff requests an air-conditioned room to take lunch breaks. The
director has requested a larger office due to the records and
manuals occupying so much of the current space. The present office
is merely a "cubbyhole." if approved, the present office space
would be used for parts. The garage maintains a fleet of 170 and
a chart is maintained on each vehicle. Blumenstein noted that the
garage generates a printout of parts used for each vehicle. This
aids in charging the parts back to the respective depts. (Labor is
not charged.)
Commissioner Boone voiced some concern over building the
breakroom. Also, he mentioned questions concerning the removal
cost ($1,800) of the underground 550 gallon storage tank.
Specifically, if a tank this size had been exempted from removal
requirements. The staff will check on this matter.
INSPECTIONS: originally, two new inspector positions were
requested; however, the manager has deleted one. This deletion
also eliminated the new equipment/vehicle associated with the
position. The manager noted the justification/ statistics used for
another employee (88.128 increase in inspections since the 1992
merger). No changes.
PLANNING: In reference to the Land Development Plan it was
mentioned that Benchmark was on schedule, but the project was not
near completion at this time. No changes.
NAPPING: The manager noted that technology had really
impacted this department. No changes.
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION: Mr. Mashburn reported that a long-
standing agreement with the State had been made where the county
paid 508 of the staff salaries for this agency. Due to several
commissioners needing more time to study the cooperative extension
requests, it was agreed to begin the next meeting with this
department.
