Hartman suggested combining the purchasing agent, personnel and the NIRMA contact person into one position. Quandt stated he was opposed to the position. Long stated it was a good idea because of the size of the county but had concerns about overloading one person. Stelk supports the idea of a purchasing agent and personnel director but it needs to be studied and put in place for the next fiscal year, but she doesn't want to include the computer purchasing in this. Arnold stated it was a good concept and it may be difficult to find one person that would be qualified for both areas. Landis supported the idea but it may need to be two different people.
