A discussion was held as to how to address performance issues that are brought to the attention
of committee members. Any concerns should be brought to the County Administrator so that
there is a central communication point and he will then determine the next step in the process.
Brief discussion regarding the waste tire disposal facility in Drummond.
Direct Deposit Update. Unions have been pushing for direct deposit program for quite some
time. Proposal is to change from a 24 pay period year to 26 pay periods per year. There is some
struggle with implementation of a lag time for pay. It would be necessary to implement a lag for
payroll purposes in order to implement the direct deposit program.
Question by Good if it is cost effective for the county to compute payroll or if we should look at
contracting with an agency to process county payroll.
