Comm. Minutes--December 2, 1991 783 MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to authorize Charlotte Sandvik, acting Human Resource department head, to allow overtime from the Human Resource budget for the following employees: Kathy Larsen and Jerry Skjonsby from Social Services and Carol Rehder from Sheriff's Department. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. County Coordinator Bonnie Johnson said performance evaluation training seminars were conducted last week by David Glaspell of Corporate Human Services, Inc. It became apparent that more than one-hal f of all county employees don't have stated performance standards, and it would be difficult to implement a performance evaluation form on a universal basis at this time. She recommended that performance standards be adopted for all employees and that department heads or supervisors proceed with evaluations about mid-year. MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that if individual employee performance objective standards were not established in 1991, such goals shall be established by January 30, 1992, to allow the formal evaluation process to begin in 1992. However, this addendum is not meant to eliminate the evaluation process in those offices with established performance goals. Salary adjustments may be wi thheld by a department head if an employee has had significant documented performance problems. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. 16. SHERIFF DEPARTMENT, Request for temporary ~rade classification chan~e withdrawn Glenn Ellingsberg from the Sheriff's Department requested approval for a temporary grade classification change for Cindy Bustad while she performs the work of another employee, who is on sick leave, in accordance with County personnel policy, Section 7.20. However, Mr. Shannon said it appears this would result in a decrease in pay since policy states the employee will be paid at the entry or minimum level of the higher classification, and this would be less than Ms. Bustad is receiving in her current grade level. After reviewing the situation further, Mr. Ellingsberg withdrew the request. 17. EXTENSION SERVICES, REGIONAL COUNCILS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ENTITIES, Co-location discussed Commissioners received information on a requirement for co-location of regional councils, small business development centers, small business management programs and area extension services, and other regional development entities by July 1, 1992. Mrs. Toussaint said it appears that Lake Agassiz Regional Council (LARC) would submit a plan before January 1, 1992, but she isn't sure that Irv Rustad, Executive Director of LARC, plans to do this according to a copy of his letter to the Department of Economic Development & Finance Director, dated October 3, 1991. Mr. Eckert is meeting with the Soil Conservation Service about this topic at 1:30 PM on Thursday. Mr. Wieland will contact the sponsor of the bill, and Mr. Risher will talk to the State Department of Economic Development & Finance. Mrs. Toussaint intends to discuss the situation with Brad Cogdill, Cass County Extension Services.
