She said Year 3 would have a little more, but horizontal equity was needed in the public safety positions. Eades said that in addition to the market survey, the employees were asked to update their job descriptions. She said if a job description didn't exist, one was created. Eades said consultation occurred with the department head who was asked about any internal or vertical equity concerns. Incentives: This was on the agenda; however, the county manager said a plan had not been developed for an employee incentive program. He said the staff was still trying to create a plan. Recreation Update/Future Park Planning: Recreation Director Robert Woody shared a North Iredell Park master plan. He said in March of 2006, a budget for the proposed park would be developed using assistance from the consultant (Site Solutions). Woody said every "inch" of property would be used. Support Services Director Jim Vernon said the northern park would require less infrastructure, due to the topography, than the southern park. Commissioner Williams asked if the other two quadrants (east and west) were showing any interest in a future park. Woody said the west Iredell residents were searching for property, and the members of the Recreation Advisory Board were the community contacts. Mr. Woody said a park fund was established in 1992, and any surplus in the recreation budget at year's end was appropriated to the fund. He said later, due to state funding cuts, the surplus began going into the county's general fund. Woody asked about re -implementing the previous budgetary method. Commissioner Johnson suggested that $25,000 be placed in the park fund, plus any recreation budget surplus at year's end. County Manager Mashburn suggested $40,000 due to having four quadrants (easier split of $10,000 to each sector). Commissioner Robertson suggested, and the other board members agreed, to budget the $40,000 to the park fund as a minimum, with an agreement that the commissioners would look at the overall needs of the county at budget time. Health and Human Services: Health Director Donna Campbell said that on February 23, 2006, the Board of Health met and approved a 2006-07 budget that had a 0.86% decrease from 2005-06. She said that since 9-11, the role of the health department had changed, and much collaboration had been occurring with the county's emergency management department, especially in regards to emergency shelters and pandemics. Mrs. Campbell said much emphasis would be placed on educating the public about disaster and health situations, and federal funds would assist.
