Mr. Rushton: For us to be able to implement all that we have talked about we
have a new organizational chart. In that there are two new Lan Administrators. Right
now according to the DMG Maxmus study and our past experience, one handles
anywhere from fifty to one hundred PC's each. Our Lan Administrators right now are
handling over one hundred fifty. lfwe are going to give the county the service level we
need as well as instaI1ing these new PC's and getting everything up and running, we're
reco=ending two additional Lan Administrators. Also, we're reco=ending adding an
Application Manager. This manager will head up the twenty-nine applications that must
be changed before year 2000. Also, the Application Manager was reco=ended by the
DMG Maxmus Study. These are all functions of that study implementing those at the
same time so that we can accomplish our Y2K needs.
"
Mr. Kuhlke: I move that we approve all of the items requested by the
Department Head.

Mr. Shepard: Second
Mr. Mays: What clearly is this motion going to entail, how in-depth are we going
through on the ==endations in terms of the reclassifications and everything that's
involved with it and do we have the money to do what's on the floor?
Mr. Oliver: The capital is budgeted, there is one piece that I need to look at. The
$100,668 for the new positions and the minor reclassifications would have to come from
General Fund Contingency and it will be an on going cost from this year forward, which
we would have to budget for next year.
Mr. Mays: In reference to the reclassification amounts are we going in at a
different classification?
Mr. Rushton: The classifications were reco=ended by the DMG Maxmus study.
Mr. Mays: We have not decided as a Commission if we will implement all that's
in the study. Until we decide how we're going to do the reclassifications with each
department I think all reclassifications should be done at one given time.
Motion carried 3-1 with Mr. Mays voting present.

With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.
