FUNCTIONAL GROUP REPORT.
Criteria grid has been completed. Continued programs may not be able to expand due to budget constraints and other programs can be improved upon. Gaps in current services and more gaps may occur. Reports focused on departmental integration, non-policy opportunities and research completed with regard to other comparable counties. There was also discussion of implementing a shared leadership approach, including concerns regarding scope and efficacy.
POLICY ALTERNATIVE GRID.
The committee discussed options that they would like to explore further. Framework grid by S.Bach distributed. Organizational strengths instead of “departments.” Recommending a special committee, including committee chairman of all affected departments, county chair or vice chair and head of personnel committee, they would meet quarterly. Design a leader of the functional group with specific responsibilities. Modify functional job. Discussion ensued. Further discussion of grid will occur at next meeting.
Motion by M. Krueger, second by S. Bach, to adjourn until Tuesday, August 30, 2011, at 4:30 a.m. for next business meeting. Motion carried.
