Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to reaffirm the Board' s position in using Option #4 as presented last week and not to purchase concrete vaults; and that the Chairman be authorized to sign the agreement with the Evaluation and Training Center for construction of the necessary wooden boxes, and to sign any other contracts in connection with Option #4. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Steve Dawson, Sheriff's employee, appeared before the Commission representing the Cass County employees to ask when the Commission will first be discussing the 1986 budget item in relation to employee compensation, and when it might be appropriate to address the Commission to provide some input. The Commission asked Steve Dawson to come back in two weeks. Discussion was held on what procedure the Commission will follow to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ruth Hellem, Clerk of District Court. Mrs. Stanton stated that the Commission will have to advertise that there is a vacancy, and Mr. Wieland suggested appointing a temporary replacement effective July 1st at the minimum salary requirement. Mrs. Stanton suggested that the salary be negotiable to a maximum amount. The Chairman requested Commissioners Wieland and Stanton to discuss a possible temporary replacement with the Deputy Clerks of District Court. Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded to advertise for the position of the Clerk of District Court to serve out the balance of Ruth Hellem's term which ends December 31, 1986, the salary negotiable between the minimum authorized salary and the maximum that is now being paid depending upon experience, education and knowledge, and that the job description be in line with the requirements of the North Dakota Century Code; applications to be received no later than July 16, 1985. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Sheriff Don Rudnick, Chairman of the Salary Review Committee, presented recommendations from the committee on grievances filed by County employees after the adoption of the 1985 salary plan. It was recommended that the pay grade for Florence Bauer be Grade 7 rather than Grade 5, but this will be left to the discretion of the Commission. A grievance was filed by Gene McLean because of a difference in his salary as Investigator for the Sheriff's Department and the salary of the Investigator for the States Attorney's office. The Sheriff plans to rate his entire department by Friday for the Salary Review Committee. Upon the recommendation of the Salary Review Committee, Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to set the salary of Deanna Pearson, employee of the Clerk of District Court, at $914.00 per month; and that Darrel Aasland from the County Road Department be placed in Pay Grade 10, a 2% increase, retro active to January 1, 1985. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. The Salary Review Committee stated that Darrel Aasland's position may need to be re- evaluated when the County hires an engineer.
