HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_1661 (2)Commissioner Stewart said that most people living in farm communities understood there
was a potential for odor problems, but if they live somewhere else and this type of land application
is done it's hard for them understand.
The county manager mentioned that to complicate matters, there are two fees mentioned in
the ordinance. There is an application fee, and then there is an administrative (oversight) fee forthe
county.
MOTION by Commissioner Boone to table this matter until: (I) The staff and attorney can
determine fee charges (look at the possibility of a sliding fee charge) and (2) No applications will
be received until this matter is resolved.

REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION STUDY CONTRACT: Mr.
Mashburn said the study was not a classification/reclassification plan. It will be a market analysis
on some selected positions in the county. The staff recommends the firm of David M. Griffith &
Associates (DMG) at a charge of $8,210. This firm assisted the county in the last reclassification
study. Another firm submitting a proposal ($8,000) was Management and Personnel Services
Group (MAPS).
Commissioner Fortner asked how the law enforcement positions would be studied. The
county manager said that information would be obtained from other cities and counties for
comparison.
MOTION by Commissioner Fortner to award the Compensation Study contract to David M.
Griffith & Associates at a cost of $8,210.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
DISCUSSION AND/OR APPROVAL OF PLANNING BOARD FEES: Mr. Mashburn
said that at the present time the planning board members were paid $20 per meeting plus mileage.
This averages out to be around $26 per meeting. The board of adjustment is currently reimbursed
at $50 per meeting. Mashburn added that if the commissioners desired to increase the fees for the
planning board ($50 per meeting) a budget amendment for $5,000 would be needed.
