Comm. Minutes--January 6, 1992 802 24. CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT, Salary request Adair Boening, Interim Director of the Regional Child Support Enforcement Unit, requested permission to hire David L. Carlson for the posi tion of investigator in the Regional Child Support Enforcement Unit at an annual salary of $23,000, which is $1,346 above the minimum of the salary range for the position. She said Mr. Carlson has exceptional experience in the field of child support enforcement collections and investigation. Mr. Wieland noted that this was a half-time position last year and is now full-time. He asked if Mrs. Boening contacted the Sheriff's Department about using their investigative department prior to hiring, and she said she didn't. Mr. Shannon said there are presently three categories of invest igators and the Commission is not sure how the Ernst & Young classification study will address this. Mrs. Toussaint is also concerned about this and suggested waiting for the classification study from Ernst & Young. Salary-related requests were not approved earlier today at a meeting of the Human Resource Overview Committee for the Sheriff, State's Attorney and Road Department, Mr. Shannon said. Mr. Risher asked what salary Mr. Carlson would accept, and Mrs. Boening said he was shown the salary range for pay grade 20, and he has tentatively agreed to start work next Monday. Mr. Goff thinks the County would be put in a difficult position by advertising a job at a specific salary or salary range and then re-classifying the position a month later. Mrs. Boening said she is asking that the starting salary for this individual be higher than the minimum of the salary range, based on his job qualifications, not based upon the classification of the position. MOTION, failed Mr. Risher moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that Adair Boening t Interim Director of the Regional Child Support Enforcement Unit, be authorized to hire David L. Carlson for the position of investigator in the Regional Child Support Enforcement Unit at an annual salary of $23,000.
