Discussion of two proposed positions in the Department of Public WorksStation personnel would at present report to the DPW Working Foreman. Vincent emphasized that both of these foreman jobs would involve hands-on working as well as supervisory responsibilitiesproblems.

He stated that he felt there was more fluidity in hiring these positions rather than contracting out. Ken Kimball made suggestions for changes on the organizational chart in numbers of positions reporting to each superior. Vincent stated that he planned to complete job questionnaires for the positions prior to returning to the Board for an OMNI evaluation.
