The minutes of the previous meeting of April 13, 1977, were
read and approved as stated.
IV. CONSIDERATION OF ASSIGNMENTS.
Consideration was given to assignments made at the last meeting.
Each member present compared outlines of the table of contents
of their assigned municipality with the outline that Chairman
Simpler had provided, taken mainly from the City of Kodiak's
Personnel Policy, at an earlier date. Some different topics were
noted such as a Bargaining Unit (aclarification statement), Re-
instatement Policy which was noted in one municipality as a
separate policy, Open Files allowing employees the right to
examine their own personnel files, a different part-time employ-
ment classification of Seasonal Employment providing more benefits
then Temporary Employment, and Travel Allowances for inside and
outside the Borough.
V. COMMENTS.
Chairman Simpler handed out copies of Personnel Board information
as written in the City's Charter and personnel policy. He then
asked the members to consider the information for addition or
deletion in relation to writing the guidelines for a Personnel
Board for the Borough.
Regarding the establishing of a Personnel Board, the committee
decided to formalize their stand. The roll call vote was un-
animously in favor of establishing such a board.
What direction will the Personnel Policy Committee take from here?
Chairman Simpler stated the next step would be to take topics
according to sequence as provided in the outline he submitted at
the last meeting, noting additions per discussions at this meeting
As each topic was considered the committee would try to provide
a rough draft of the same.

familiarize themselves with their previously assigned documents
so that no important points would be overlooked. Everyone was
responsible for the municipality assigned to them at the April 13th
meeting, and Harold Ward assuming responsiblity for Anchorage and
Kenai studies. t
VII. OBJECTIVE RATING CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM.

Palmer's Objective Rating Classification System based on points.

ation System which was similar. The committee is anticipating
