HEALTH DEPARTMENT - REQUEST TO UPGRADE ENVIRONMENTAL POSITION:
Mr. Bill Mashburn said they have a problem with the south end of
the county in the environmental service. They lost their soil
scientist who was to serve the developers and the subdivision work
in the south end of the county. They have not been able to fill
the position since this person resigned and moved away from the
county. They have been looking in the department to see if there
is someone already on staff who could do this. The person they are
considering currently serves as supervisor in the Mooresville
office. The proposal is to use the funds presently budgeted for a
soil scientist and increase the supervisor's pay with a portion of
the funds and hire another experienced environmental specialist
with the remainder of the funds, so that no time would be lost for
training.
Commissioner Boone inquired why additional funds would be
needed. He thought the funds should be there in lapsed salaries.
Mr. Kelly Sheeks said a portion of the funds had been used for
overtime salaries.
Commissioner Madison inquired if this has been before the
health board, and Mr. Bill Mashburn replied that it has not.
Commissioner Madison said there are some real problems in this
department which he has discussed with Kelly Sheeks. Commissioner
Madison said he thought they needed some input from the
contractors, the developers, and the folks that are buying the
service from the county, and it needs to come as a recommendation
from the board of health. He further thinks there are additional
problems that go beyond this particular position, and that an in-
depth study is needed of this department.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to remand this back to the
board of health with a request that they delve into it as soon as
possible and as deep as possible and come back with a
recommendation on what needs to be done in that department to make
it work.
