have not gotten into long term agreements for field water <br /> and a lot of waterways. <br /> RT - there are some practices that are available under the <br /> long term agreement that are not available under the <br /> nutrient sensitive. Your nutrient sensitive is primarily <br /> for your cooperative and waste management system where your <br /> long term agreement is for other practices that would not <br /> be eligible if they are not the critical elements in the <br /> nutrient sensitive. <br /> Q. DW - How much trouble would it be to get a map that would <br /> show the location of the 51 that have signed up for the <br /> nutrient sensitive? We could get a better idea of what <br /> portion of watersheds were being addressed by that. <br /> A. CS - A map has been developed for the Cane Creek and we <br /> will take this and mark on this map those areas. <br /> J; V 41 - _ I +2.41)11. •):: <br /> Q. i - you mentioned the things you were doing in the area <br /> of safety to reduce on-the-job injuries. Do you have any <br /> data that indicates the distribution of workers <br /> compensation claims for non-automobile and automobile type <br /> injuries? <br /> BW - Yes we do. I don't have that data with me. The <br /> majority of our claims have been non-vehicle related <br /> injuries and they are primarily in two or three departments <br /> so Mr. Addelson has talked with and will be talking with, <br /> over the next month or so, our representatives from James <br /> Company which insures our workman's compensation program <br /> and looking to develop and communicate to the employees <br /> different ways of operation to prevent on-the-job injuries. <br /> Q. SM - Could you tell us more about how you go about <br /> consolidating all the records from Social Services and <br /> Health. It seems to me there must be an awful lot. <br /> A. BW - Right now, we do not have the space to house those <br /> records. The State still maintains authority with Public <br /> Health and Social Services to come in and annually audit <br /> the personnel records. With the auditing here all <br /> transactions will be assured that all records maintained <br /> are in accordance with state law. You have a proposal <br /> before you in the Personnel Ordinance to bring Social <br /> Services and Public Health under the Counties personnel <br /> system. Along with that our goal is to consolidate records <br /> so the auditing point will be the centralized personnel <br /> files. Right now what exists in the personnel file is <br /> accurate for all employees except the Social Services and <br /> Public Health. Documentation with regard to those <br /> employees, other than actual personnel action forms, do not <br /> appear within our files. We would like to go to one <br /> centralized filing system. <br /> Q. MC - What kind of training program have we had? <br /> A. - Our current ordinance provides the County to permit <br /> employees to have educational leave and that can be leave <br /> with or without pay; it also provides for some <br /> reimbursement of training courses that are directly job <br />_J related. I would like to refine what exists now to <br /> provide the departments with some guidelines and encourage <br /> more inservice training as well as training provided in the <br /> various institutions to assure that we maintain a <br /> productive work force. As changes occur, with WP the <br /> capabilities are there. However, employees that we hired <br />
