Committee members discussed the program and agreed that no decision could be made today, however, further consideration should be given through the county budget process and employees should be informed about the program. MOTION, passed Mr. Rudnick moved and Mrs. Hogan seconded to direct the County Auditor to develop a number of scenarios for a PEHP (Post Employment Health Plan) for consideration through the budget process this year for the 2002 county budget. Motion carried. 4. ANNUAL RECLASSIFICATION REQUESTS, Revised PAQ (Position Analvsis Questionnairel Requests were received for reclassification review of six positions by Fox Lawson Associates, the consultants hired by Cass County for this purpose. Bonnie Johnson said reclassification requests are due by the first Monday in May each year, and must include the completion of a revised PAQ that demonstrates a 25% or more change in the decision-making duties of a position. The first one on the list this year is the B21 Principal Secretary position in the Personnel Office, which was last reviewed in 1990. Mrs. Johnson provided background information and said this position performs some ofthe payroll functions previously done by another employee. After reclassification reviews are completed by the consultants, a recommendation will be returned to this committee for a decision at a later meeting, tentatively set for June 18th, according to Mrs. Johnson. MOTION, passed Mrs. Johnson moved and Mrs. Hogan seconded to submit the revised PAQ (Position Analysis Questionnaire) for the B21 Principal Secretary (Gartner) in the Personnel Office to Fox Lawson Associates. Discussion: Mrs. Hogan asked if reclassification ofthis position would affect other similarly graded positions in the county. Adair Boening said this is the same pay grade as the legal secretaries in the Regional Child Support Enforcement Office, however, the legal secretaries have higher minimum training and experience requirements than this position. Mrs. Johnson said the hiring standards for this position have been the same for at least ten years, however, the minimums would be raised the next time the position is advertised. Mr. Burdick said the secretaries in his office are graded B21, with the exception of one that is graded B22, and he believes the legal secretaries in his office would be interested in a reclassification review if the Personnel position is reclassified. Motion carried.
