Joan Strickler, observer
Riley County
Commission February 26, 2015
Commissioners
Wells, Boyd and Wilson present, Wells presiding.
Commissioner
Wells said he would like to have the Commission check with other related
entities to determine the cost of building shooting ranges. The County is looking into building such a
range for training law enforcement personnel.
County
Attorney Barry Wilkerson reported his office is wrapping up a murder trial. Current staffing appears adequate to meet the
needs in his office.
Kevin
Houser, IT/GIS director, said his office has now incorporated flood plane data
on the GIS website. The 2015 County appraisal
values have been added as well.
Currently staff is working with the Health Department on getting the
medical records on-line system up and running.
Human
Resources manager Cindy Volanti announced the County payroll process is now
totally automated. Each employee is
responsible for posting his or her hours and the system takes over to complete
the job.
A
considerable amount of time was spent discussing the employee position review
process. As positions change and evolve
they need to be reevaluated for position description and appropriate salary
level. The department heads supported a
system in which the HR Manager presents the reclassification request to the
McGrath consulting firm for a point factoring to decide placement on the salary
schedule. McGrath has developed the
overall system for the County in the past.
Commissioner Boyd questioned the need for paying the $150 per person fee
for the recommendations in all cases.
After a lengthy discussion in which all the department heads spoke in
favor of using McGrath for the determinations, the Commissioners all voted to
support the request.
