John Link <br /> explained that health costs will be shared by the County and the employee <br /> with the County paying 63% of the cost. <br /> Discussion ensued about United Way and what they are requesting. <br /> Commissioner Marshall asked that John Link put together an overall report on <br /> their request and the relationship with HRC, HSAC and the PPP. She feels <br /> that HSAC should be the lead agency. Responsibilities need to be defined for <br /> each group for overall effectiveness. <br /> Commissioner Halkiotis asked about employee development and stated his <br /> concern about too much training. He asked that John Link be sensitive to the <br /> employees workload in scheduling training sessions. <br /> Rod Visser explained the projects that would be funded out of the County <br /> Capital reserve fund. <br /> Albert Kittrell stated that it is hoped that the 24-hour Courthouse <br /> project would be completed by September 30. Commissioner Hartwell stated <br /> that a lot of time needs to be devoted to getting the County Departments <br /> trained so that Data Processing will not have the full support of this <br /> project. <br /> John Link indicated the Management Analyst position will be filled this <br /> year with an MPA intern. A decision needs to be made about the support that <br /> is actually needed from the Manager's Office for youth coordination. <br /> The Board discussed the mark-up list and considered the following: Home <br /> Health Agency - $ 2, 000 <br /> OCIM + $ 1,500 <br /> Chapel Hill and Carrboro - $16,200 <br /> Recreation and Parks <br /> Orange County Recreation + $ 4,400 <br /> and Parks <br /> Arts Commission + $ 1,250 <br /> Orange Community Housing $ $10, 000 (from 1989-90 <br /> budget) <br />
