Comm. Minutes--July 17, 1995 1366 20. effective July 1, 1995. Mr. Ness asked that language be included now whereby Mr. Cogdill will continue to supervise the position after the pilot project ends. Mr. Cogdill anticipates that he will continue as a District Director after the pilot project, and he will add this language to the proposal. Mr. Ness also asked if the letter of hire for this position will state specifically that this is a grant-funded position, and Mr. Cogdill said that would be standard procedure for positions with this type of funding. MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that the Parenting Resource Program/Coordinator be approved and its implementation proceed according to the guidelines developed. Further, that the Cass County Extension Service budget be amended to reflect ~52,500 revenue ($46,000 in revenue from Region V Children's Service Committee, ~4,000 from OJJDP (Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention) and $2,500 from CTFND (Children's Trust Fund of North Dakota)) and an expenditure budget of ~51,700 (as set forth in the budget submitted). The project is authorized until June 30, 1996. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.

The position is now temporarily filled by a former employee, Renee Lerfald, who works with Kelly Temporary Services. Mrs. Toussaint asked about Ms. Lerfald's hours, and Ms. Ziegelmann said she only plans to work in RCSEU until the end of this month. In a letter to Ms. Ziegelmann dated June 15, 1995, Mr. Ness suggested paying overtime for existing staff because he is concerned about the amount of time it will take to train a temporary employee who will only be working a five-month period of time. Ms. Olson is expected to return to work on January 1, 1996. Ms. Ziegelmann said existing staff do not want to work that much overtime because of family commitments. Mrs. Schneider supports the request since there is money in the budget from the salary that would have been paid to Ms. Olson, and she believes Ms. Ziegelmann knows the best approach to this situation as director of the department. MOTION, passed Mr. Eckert moved and Mrs. Schneider seconded to approve the request of Kathleen M.
