tA0' <br /> some time ago may not have that skill. We are looking <br /> forward to finding out where our training needs are and <br /> then either develop in- <br /> service training models to accommodate those needs or contact various <br /> institutions in the area to assist us in that matter. But our goal is to <br /> keep our work force productive and the way we do that is through training. <br /> Q. BL - How long a time for leave with pay. <br /> A. BW - the current ordinance provides for educational leave <br /> up to one year with pay. It is rarely used but is in the <br /> ordinance. <br /> Q. BL - Has it been used at all? <br /> A. BR - not for a full year. I think the longest length of <br /> time has been six months and the criteria is that it must <br /> be directly related to the job you are currently performing <br /> or a job that would provide you with promotional <br /> opportunities. <br /> 0. BL - is there any provision that they must serve the <br /> County for any length of time. <br /> A. BW - that is not spelled out in our current ordinance. <br /> However, practice has been that it is agreed that the <br /> employee must serve in that capacity for one year upon <br /> completion of that training. <br /> WALLACE H. HARDING. FINANCE DIRKIOR <br /> Q. MC - who is the counties banker? <br /> A. WH - NCNB. <br /> Q. SM - do we go out for proposals? <br /> A. WH - we have not since I have been here. We have been <br /> able through negotiations develop a pretty good investment <br /> program at NCNB but it is a very good point. We used to be <br /> with CCB. <br /> Q. DR - Mats right. When we reviewed this several years <br /> ago, CCB could not provide the services and I think NCNB is <br /> the only one that could provide the range of services <br /> required by the County. That is something we may want to <br /> look at again. It may be desirable to check around <br /> occasionally. <br /> EMEETA_Rs-ADMILON/...EMELSairaPLES= <br /> Q. SM The courier system does not extend to the Chapel Hill <br /> offices. Is there any thought to doing that? <br /> A. RA - No. Since I've been on there has been no discussion. <br /> In the past there had been some discussion. The problem <br /> that it creates is in terms of manpower. I have a <br /> gentleman who runs the courier system for the County who is <br /> a half-tine employee and the time that it would require <br /> for him to go back and forth to Chapel Hill and the time to <br /> serve the County offices here in Hillsborough would be too <br /> great based on his current status. <br /> Q. SM - I can understand that but it creates a problem for <br /> the departments over there in Chapel Hill because they <br /> have to send individual people back and forth so it is not <br /> very functional and especiallly with DSS. <br /> Q. MC - With these individuals going back and forth it may be <br /> costing us more than extending the courier system. <br /> - yes, very possible. <br /> RA - a study has not been done of that as yet. The DSS <br /> and Health Department employees travel here twice a week <br /> and that is how mail has been moved back and forth. <br /> Q. DW - is this mainly internal mail? <br />
