Motion by Mike Crawford, supported by Laura Stanek, regarding the two park attendant positions at Barnes Park, the Committee recommends the Board of Commissioners hire Rachel Mosher for the 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. shift and if she is unable to take the position or doesn’t pass the pre-employment assessment the position would be offered to Margaret Vaughn as the second choice and Billy Adams as the third choice.  For the flex-schedule position that goes from June to Labor Day the Committee recommends the Board of Commissioners hire Connor Dawson and if he is unable to take the position or doesn’t pass the pre-employment assessment the position would be offered to Billy Adams as the second choice and Margaret Vaughn as the third choice.  Motion carried – unanimous.
4.       Various Matters
Priority Health 60 Day Waiting Period
Peter Garwood, Coordinator/Planner, informed the Committee that they may want to reconsider the language of a motion approved at the Administration and County Services Committee meeting on March 29, 2007 regarding the waiving of the Priority Health, 60 day waiting period for elected officials.  The language in that motion appears to be inferior to the language used to allow the waiving of the 60 day waiting period for elected officials for Blue Cross Blue Shield.  Mr. Garwood recommended making the language for the two health benefit options consistent.
Motion by Laura Stanek supported by Jerroll Drenth, to retract the motion of March 29, 2007 regarding the 60 day waiting period for Priority Health for elected officials and recommend the Board of Commissioners adopt the following:
Newly elected officials, including the County Clerk, Treasurer, Register of Deeds, Sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney, Drain Commissioner, and County Commissioners, will not have to adhere to the current new-hire wait period, so long as they are coming from a Priority Health HMO plan.  There cannot be a lapse of more than 30 days from the prior plan termination in order for this to occur.
Employees other than those mentioned above must comply with the new-hire waiting period regardless of what carrier they had previously.
Motion carried – unanimous.
Meeting adjourned at 12:20 pm.
