Karen 13 years ago they combined the departments to save money by not having 2 <br /> department heads. The audit committee would need to have an array for the park <br /> superintendent's salary by NACO rules. There would be another department head and <br /> another salary that would be higher it will cost more money. We need to wait on this a <br /> do some research on salaries. <br /> Lancaster disagrees this is making it too hard it worked well before It is rough going <br /> now. She said they did this with GIS and as far as the budget the details will take some <br /> time and Janet could still do the book work for both departments like she does now. As <br /> far as the budget after a year they will have a better idea what the park has for <br /> expenses. There should not be much of an increase in salaries. She would like to look <br /> at this change. At some point a salary study would be appropriate. Need to have the <br /> best department available for the county. It will take some time to get the details worked <br /> out. Nothing will change they will still work together. <br /> Sorensen said there needs to be clear cut management go to management at the park <br /> that is why he seconded the motion. He knows Loren does delegate responsibilities. <br /> He noted that the employees go back and forth now. <br /> Loren said they do but someone else will be scheduling their hours and as soon as this <br /> happens there will be issues. There is only one park it will cost more. He has talked to <br /> Dustin and he wants to run it like the city parks. He and Dustin need to work this out. If <br /> the board wants to create another department then they can do so but he knows there <br /> will be issues with the employees. It is what the board decides to do <br /> Hurst said this board has a short memory they decided to change the cleaning crew and <br /> save a lot of money and it blew up in their face. We need to stop trying to reinvent the <br /> wheel ad stay with what woks <br /> Karen said she is not comfortable voting on this today it will cost more money. Dustin is <br /> out there every day the board should be aware of the fact the camping fees needed to <br /> be changed. She needs more information. <br /> Quandt said she got the phone calls it is not working it is a mess. There are 2 bosses it <br /> will save money and Doone's people will not have to go out there. Dustin is the park <br /> superintendent and will not need more money. There are reasons we have to do this it <br /> with 2 bosses it is not working. He noted the when someone was locked in the <br /> bathroom and they had to cut off the lock. Could have been serious it was hot that day. <br /> He is just trying to lighten Doone's duties and employees will not have to go to the park. <br /> Karen said she did get a phone call when a person from out of state could not get a <br /> camping space and the second call there was a family with a lot of children that were <br /> noisy need kid friendly area. Does not have enough information to vote today. <br /> 9 <br />
