Girona states haat as at member o£ the Personnel Committee , it was their recommendation that the pay scale for the Fire Chief and Police Chief should be- upgraded from Grade 29 to Grade 31 with an additional increase at this time. She adds that when the County enacted the pay scale it was knows that some categories would have to be changed and because o£ the 24 hour availability o£ these two men, the large staffs that have to be supervised, the highly trained and qualified men in the positions and the emergency situations that have to be dealt with they deserve what is recommended _ Mr _ Appersora states tae is not concerned with the pay grade being upgraded but he does not feel the extra raise should be considered because it was not included in either department's budget , it could be setting a precedent £or others and tae feels no methodology was --used ira deter- mining which department heads pay scales should be increased . Mr. Dodd states tae understands Mr. &pperson•s feelings and tie, too, agrees this should have been done at budget time, He adds that these two men do a fine job and should have some consideration though .

Ayes: Mr. O'Neill, Mrs. Girone, Mr. Apperson and Mr. Dodd, Mr. Wingfield states the County will have to complete the microfilming program if it accepts the grant in the amount of $10,500 from CETA and should appropriate the necessary money at this time. Mrs, Girone states she feels this is the year of the "no", the County does not have the needed money at this time to appropriate to a new program, the County is involved in other programs that should be completed before entering something else, that it will cost $100,000 before the program is completed, that we would be getting $10,500 of free money which every- one lanows is not free and will end up costing ten times as much. Mr. Micas states be- cause of the way the grant application is written, the County must provide the microfilm- ing capability before accentins,; the grant. Mr. Hodge states the original estimate was $70,000 and has been reduced now to a cost of $45,O3O, it would be great to catch all the microfilming up to date for the cost, it will provide readers for V ded 0 ace He adds various departments, and it would ree up nee p S. M n that it should not conflict wit:l.the new .Central Accounting system that is underway and further that he feels each department could possibly find $240 from their established budgets to use as a contribution towards this cost. Mr. O'Neill states the extra space that would be available is a big incentive because of the tight quarters experienced by every department, Mrs. Girone states at budget time this matter was not discussed because it was not viewed as a priority and that if it was of major importance, it should have been mentioned, She states there is more important priorities and makes a motion to rescind the resolution of May 25, 1977, accepting the $10,500 grant from CETA. There is no second to the motion. Ayes: Mrs. Girone, Nays: Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Apperson and Mr, Dodd, Mr. Dodd states microfilming is needed by the County but he wants Mr. Hodge to contact department heads and ascertain what amount can be found.

O'Neill Mrs. J.C. Girone Mr. C.G. Manuel Mr. R.B. Galusha AGENDA ITEM #1: Mr. R. Painter, Director of Utilities Department, requested the Committee's concurrence to increase Craig Bryant's salary two steps which constitutes an exception to normal policy, i.e., one step annually. DISCUSSION: Mr. Painter has an Engineer III position vacancy for which we have been recruiting to fill for some time. He found a well qualified Engineer II he would like to hire. This provided him an opportuni- ty to promote William 0. Wright, presently an Engineer II to Engineer III to fill the existing vacancy. Before he could take such action he felt it was necessary to increase Craig Bryant at least two steps (Engineer III) to maintain a proper salary differen- tial between Craig and Bill. This increase would place Craig and Ray Birdsong at comparable salaries. Craig and Bill recently took the Professional Engineer and EIT exam respectively. COMMITTEE ACTION: The Committee recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve the two step increase for Craig Bryant within present budget limita- tions. This action to be effective on Board approval. AGENDA ITEM #2: Mrs. G. Knoop, Director, Library Services, requested the Committee's concurrence to establish a new classification and position, Serials Clerk, for the Technical Processing Department of the Chesterfield County Public Library. nTSr11sST0N Although the Committee recognized the need for the service the con - census was that this service could be performed by better utilizing existing staff. Consideration should be given to reassessing present tasks and possibly reclassifying an existing position of comparable grade. n COMMITTEE ACTION: U The Committee recommended that the Board of Supervisors deny the request by Mrs. Knoop. AGENDA ITEM #3: Mrs. V.C. Gordon, Voting Registrar, requested the Committee's concurrence to reclassify her present Clerk II, Grade 3 to an Assistant Registrar, Grade 10 position. DISCUSSION: Due to the increase in population and voter participation, and the State Election Law staffing guide (three full-time assistant regis- trars for locality with population 100,000 - 150,000) Mrs. Gordon feels she is in serious need of an additional Assistant Registrar. The incumbent of the Clerk II position, by necessity, has assumed the role of an Assistant Registrar. Mrs. Gordon feels that the clerical requirements, which are characterized by peaks and valleys, can be taken care of with part-time help. COMMITTEE ACTION: The Committee recommended approval of Mrs. Gordon's request within present budget limitations. AGENDA ITEM #4: Chief Eanes and Pittman requested the Committee's concurrence for a "promised" salary adjustment by the former County Administrator. DISCUSSION: Both Chief Eanes and Pittman advised the Committee that they had been led to believe by the former County Administrator that he was to take some action to have their grade -upgraded on the pay plan and, additionally, to increase their salary accordingly. During the dis- cussion Mr. Galusha introduced a salary survey of Fire and Police Chief salaries of surrounding jurisdictions, which indicated that Chesterfield's salaries were below the mean for these classifications. COMMITTEE ACTION: The Committee recommended that the positions in question, presently allocated to Grade 29 of the Classification and Pay Plan, be re- allocated to Grade 31, with an additional one step increase effec- tive June 1, 1977, within present budget limitations. U AGENDA ITEM #5: 0 Chief Pittman asked the Committee to consider the following requests: 1. Special consideration for the administration of the current policy in regard to utilization of excess leave (this item was also of concern to Chief Eanes); 2. Awarding over -time to Investigators and Officers assigned to special assignments; 3. Readjustment of Patrolman salaries in order to maintain parity with surrounding jurisdictions; 4. Additional personnel; 5. Approval of career development concept. nTCC11CCTnN- Following a rather lengthy and involved discussion items 1 and 2 were deferred pending further review. Item 3 was of particular concern to Chief Pittman as the investigative division is currently conducting an extensive investigation at this time, and due to the lack of manpower 90 to 105 hours of duty per week is not unusual. Other jurisdictions (Henrico, Richmond, Petersburg) do pay overtime. Item 4, request for additional personnel, could not be addressed adequately until a more accurate assessment of the budget could be made. Chief Pittman proposed a career development concept for the Police Department. This was concept only, the details to be developed at a later date. COMMITTEE ACTION: The Committee recommended: 1. That action regarding the utilization of excess leave, and the readjustment of pay grade for police officers be deferred pending additional information to be submitted by Chief Pittman; 2. That the request for additional personnel be deferred until such time that more accurate assessment of the budget can be made; 3. That the Board of Supervisors approve the payment of over -time to investigators and other personnel involved in special assignments; 4. That the Board of Supervisors approve in concept the Career Development program proposed by Chief Pittman, details of which will be developed between the Police Department and Personnel Department. All actions to be effective on Board approval and within present budget limitations. AGENDA ITEM #6: Mr. E. Hodge, Director, Data Processing requested the Committee's concurrence to fill current vacancies at starting salaries above Step II of the appropriate grade, and to award an additional incre- ment as an exception to existing policy. DISCUSSION: Mr. Hodge has three vacancies he is trying to fill, one Computer Operator III, Grade 14; and two Systems Analyst II, Grade 24. He had requested that he be authorized to hire at Steps 4 and 5 respectively. As this is an exception to current policy (above Step 2) it requires Committee action and Board approval. Although the Committee was sympathetic with Mr. Hodge's need to fill the vacancies there was equal concern that he was "buying" experience beyond that required to fill the vacancy. The Committee felt that some compromise was in order, i.e., hire at a lower scale, and pro- vide that training considered unique to the operation with current cadre. The Committee understood that all departments would like to hire the most experienced person available within existing resources, however, this is not a practical solution. As a separate item Mr. Hodge approved a Personnel Action initiated by his assistant for an additional salary increment for an employee. This increment would have constituted the second increase within a seven month period. Employee's salary history is as follows: a. Employed 9-20-76 at Grade 24, Step;2; b. Increased to Step 3, 1-1-77. COMMITTEE ACTION: The Committee recommended that this increase be denied as the employee will have realized approximately 10% increase in salary as of July 1, 1977 since employed. Mr. R.B. Galusha Mr. E.M. O'Neill Recorder -Secretary Chairman AGENDA ITEM #6: %4W M Mr. E. Hodge, Director, Data Processing requested the Committee's concurr- ence to fill current vacancies at starting salaries above Step II of the appropriate grade, and to award an additional increment as an exception to existing policy. nT-qrlISgTnN- Mr. Hodge has three vacancies he is trying to fill, one Computer Operator III, Grade 14; and two Systems Analyst II, Grade 24.
