It was decided that the Board would look over the Job Tasks and
the Borough Job Descriptions before making any final decision
on what to do with the Arthur Young Study.
B. D.P. Manager's Salary Increase
Mr. Selby stated that his recommendation would be not to do
anything until the next meeting and take a look across the
board at all the positions.
Mr. Page stated that all he wanted to do was bring his position
in line with other Department Heads. He said that Data
Processing jobs here were hard to fill and other Alaska
Boroughs have more personnel in their D.P. Departments.

Arthur Young Study, she thought that the D.P. Manager's request
for an increase in salary be put on hold for the time being.
C. Job Descriptions
1. Economic Development Director
2. Switchboard Operator/Receptionist
Mr. Selby stated that there was a need to develop new job
descriptions for the Economic Development Director and
Switchboard Operator/Receptionist, so that they can go before
the Assembly and be amended into the Personnel Manual. The
Board decided that these two job descriptions would be looked
at with all the other borough employee job descriptions.
D. Permanent Part -Time Employees
Pat Szabo presented that plan that the committee had come up
with to cover non -temporary part-time employees. The plan
would give the part-time employees benefits for their scheduled
work time. These benefits would be pro -rated using the full
time employees benefits plan. The only exception being that
the part-time employees would have to pay half of their insur-
ance and if they work over 15 hours a week they have to take
part in the PERS program.
Mary McFarland moved that the plan go before the Assembly for
approval. The motion was seconded and passed by a unanimous
voice vote.
