Hrs. Toussaint stated that she is concerned about the time lapse between now and when the County Social Service Board approved these reclassification. She asked what the procedure is and who is responsible for bringing these matters to the County Commission. Hr. Lobitz stated that generally it is the Social Service Director's responsibility to bring it to the County Commission unless someone else was specifically assigned to do it instead. Since no one was assigned to the responsibility in this case, Hr. Lobitz assumed,,,,.~he Director had brought it to the County Commission. Mr. Sondrall stated that he suggested to Hr. Jensen at one time that Alvin Johnson attend Commission meetings in the Director's place when Social Services required Commission action. However, Hr. Shannon stated that Hr. Johnson did not bring this to the Commission either.
