The Commission questioned whether the position needs to be full -time, and discussion was held on sharing staff between the Auditor, Treasurer and Register of Deeds. Mr. Wieland suggested that the Auditor and Register of Deeds discuss hiring someone to work part of the time in each department, and that the Auditor report back to the Commission. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded to reappoint Commissioner Don Eckert to the Cass County Weed Control Board for another four -year term beginning July 1, 1987. Motion carried. The Chairman noted that the term of John Heuer of Leonard on the Cass County Housing Authority expires July 1, 1987; and four terms on the Cass County Social Services Board expire July 31, 1987. Anyone wishing to be considered for possible appointment should submit their name to the County Commission. Sheriff Don Rudnick appeared before the Board regarding salary adjustments and staff replacement in his department. He stated that a recent re- organization of his staff and further utilizing of the Reserve Program will result in substantial overtime savings. He is requesting salary adjustments for the administrative staff as their salaries have fallen below area law enforcement agencies. Mrs. Stanton requested job descriptions for these people. Mr. Wieland suggested a committee meeting with Sheriff Rudnick to prepare a proposal for the Commission to consider in 3 -4 weeks. Upon the request of Sheriff Don Rudnick, Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that the Sheriff be authorized to replace the secretary position in the County Jail with a full -time deputy in Pay Grade 11.
