2 <br /> $3100 be placed in the budget to provide for temporary personnel for that <br /> commission. <br /> Chair Marshall asked for some statistics on Lake Michael to include <br /> how many Orange County citizens are using the park and if the County is <br /> being included in the programming for the Lake. <br /> DEPARTMENT ON AGING <br /> Reverend Richard Hildebrandt spoke on behalf of the Senior Citizens <br /> Board. He referred to a letter that was distributed to the Board. A <br /> full-time receptionist position was requested to provide the necessary <br /> coverage in the transportation department. <br /> Ken Thompson noted that money had been placed in the budget for a co- <br /> op student who will work four hours a day. <br /> The Board agreed to put $8, 652 on the mark-up list for this <br /> additional position. <br /> Reverend Hildebrandt explained the problem the Department was having <br /> in transporting non-emergency elderly persons outside the County. Chair <br /> Marshall asked that the situation be reviewed and a report be brought back <br /> to the Board. <br /> PLANNING DEPARTMENT <br /> Planning Board Chair Barry Jacobs spoke in support of the Planning <br /> Department's budget. He pointed out that the budget is sufficient for <br /> only the work that has been outlined. However, the budget is insufficient <br /> if additional items are added to the workplan. <br /> Chair Marshall expressed concern that the budget allows for no <br /> flexibility to cover additional items that may be delegated to the <br /> Planning Department. <br /> Discussion ensued on the computer system and the changeover to the <br /> personal computers. Collins indicated that the computer system will be <br /> used in an overall information system approach for the Planning Dept. He <br /> made the point that the Board will either need to lower their expectations <br /> in terms of what is expected to be accomplished or provide money for <br /> additional staff. An alternative to this would be to spread the work over <br /> a longer period of time or to use outside consultants. After extended <br /> discussion it was decided by the Board to add to the markup list an <br /> additional amount of $5, 000 to the already $25, 000 budgeted for con- <br /> sultants. <br /> PERSONNEL - CAFETERIA BENEFIT PLAN <br /> Personnel Director Beverly Whitehead made the presentation. She <br /> distributed information on the cafeteria plan and explained that the <br /> Manager's recommended budget provides money for' an innovative plan which <br /> increases employees benefits, provides some choices in the benefits they <br /> receive, reduces the employees income tax withholdings and also reduces <br /> employer payroll taxes. There are two components to the plan: (1) <br /> flexible compensation and (2) choices. The program will be administered <br /> by Tucker Administrators from Charlotte. The costs will include (1) an <br /> installation fee of $50. 00 and (2) $2 . 00 per employee per pay period for <br /> administrative charges. These funds are budgeted in the Personnel budget. <br /> It is estimated that there will be a savings in payroll taxes of $40, 000 <br /> to offset the total cost. <br /> With reference to implementation of the new pay plan, Commissioner <br /> Carey asked that figures be provided for (1) a 4 .2% increase, (2) a 4 .6% <br /> increase, (3) the cost of reclassification and (4) the cost of merit. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> With no further items to discuss, Chair Marshall adjourned the <br />
