1. DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME – Ray Greene, Personnel Manager
Ray Greene reported they would like to reward employees who have been recognized as “employee of the year” with a $1,000.00 bonus but in some cases the employee is unable to receive the full bonus because they have previously received a bonus in the same fiscal year. David High made a motion to recommend approval on the Consent Agenda. Chuck Goodenough seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
2. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO – Marty Peterson
Marty Peterson reported they would like to pay moving reimbursement for Dr. McCawley for $7,500 which is over the $5,000 limit. Chuck Goodenough made a motion to recommend approval on the Consent Agenda. David High seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
3. Ken Deibert, Administrator, Idaho State School and Hospital; and David Lloyd, Deputy Attorney
Request for authorization to offset $48,112 from monies due to Ada County, pursuant to Idaho Code §67-1026. The department’s basis for the claim is that the Idaho State School and Hospital incurred these costs, which were paid entirely out of general funds, due to the County’s failure to obtain the release of David Andrew Orr who had been restored to competence to proceed in his criminal trial.
This item was deferred at the request of Gary Broker. Jim Dickinson from Ada County and David Lloyd, Deputy Attorney General, attended the meeting. They will seek an alternative approach to this issue.
4. Gary Broker, Administrator, Division of Management Services
Request for authorization to remove the vacation cap for Judy Boothe effective through the end of the current fiscal year (June 30, 2000). She is at maximum vacation accrual and significant vacation time cannot be granted until the Family Oriented Community Users System (FOCUS) is fully implemented and operational statewide.
Gary Broker reported Judy Boothe has been involved with the implementation of FOCUS over the last year and they would like to remove her vacation cap because she will not be able to take vacation until the system becomes operational. David High made a motion to recommend approval on the Consent Agenda. Chuck Goodenough seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
5. Request for authorization to pay 167.0 hours compensatory time for Lori Rood accrued during the implementation of a new claims processing system. Lori is also at her vacation limit and is unable to take time off.

Mary Riedner apologized for the delay in submitting these requests because of a personnel situation. Director Bill Bishop’s cover letter also explains the tardiness. Mary corrected the amounts for three items, #11 to $926.33; #14 to $1,807.59; and #30 to $1,004.24. Mary asked the Sub-Committee members for guidance on how to handle response teams that respond to an incident without a specific request, but expect to be paid. After discussion it was decided the Hazardous Materials director should meet with Ada County and come to an agreement, possibly either to only come when requested, or to show up 100% of the time.
David High asked if personnel costs are for overtime incurred during an incident. Mary stated that Boise is large enough they have personnel to handle fire stations while employees are responding to the incidents. Other cities do not have adequate personnel and must call in back up employees to cover the fire stations. David asked about the statute which says the military division shall review all claims and make recommendations to the Board of Examiners within 120 days after termination of the incident. Mary cited personnel problems in their office as a reason for the tardiness, and also that the Board of Examiners did not hold an August meeting.
The problem of not being able to locate and recover costs from some responsible parties was discussed. David High suggested possibly prosecutors could make it a condition of probation that incremental costs be recovered from the responsible party.
Chuck Goodenough said he still has a problem with the 120 days response time. After discussion it was decided to ask Matt McKeown, Deputy Attorney General for the Military Division, to prepare an Attorney General’s opinion interpreting Idaho Code §39-7110. If the Attorney General’s letter is not received in time for the Board of Examiners meeting, items #24, #42 and #43 will be included on the Consent Agenda because they meet the 120 day response time. The other items will be deferred for review of other means of payment. If Matt McKeown’s letter is received by September 14 and indicates it is okay to submit to the Board for approval, all the items could be included on the Consent Agenda. The motion was made by David Tolman and seconded by Chuck Goodenough. The motion passed unanimously.
44. DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION
The Department of Administration has updated the IT classification list, which was previously approved by the Board of Examiners for the temporary removal of the $1,000 bonus cap for IT related classifications. Several classifications (25) are not in use at this time, however no agency indicated these classifications could be removed. The only classification recommended for removal from the list is Data Entry Operator as these positions have now been reclassified to the office support series. The list also includes 32 new classifications, the majority being non-classified. There are now a total of 232 Information Technology related classifications (including those not currently in use) on the list. The Board may want to approve this updated list.
David Tolman stated he felt Board approval for removal of bonus caps for IT related classifications should be carefully reviewed based on legislative action last session. He feels there are other classifications who are also having recruitment problems and hesitates to recommend approval of additional IT classifications. David High said the IT classifications were approved by the Board because of recruitment problems, but felt that was a bad solution to bad management. He suggested the new Division of Human Resources and DFM may want to review the issue, but doesn’t feel we should expand on the IT list at this time. David High said in order to send a message the request could be deferred and force some discussion. David Tolman suggested amending all the classifications so there is an end date, possibly June 30, 2000. Chuck Goodenough made a motion to defer the request. David high seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
45. STATE CONTROLLER
Steve Allison said Idaho State University has asked if an academic year of nine months would be interpreted as one year. Chuck Goodenough said the policy says one year and he does not interpret that as nine months. David High said the faculty completes their academic year in nine months and felt it could be interpreted that way. David High made a motion to recommend approval on the Consent Agenda. David Tolman seconded the motion. Chuck Goodenough opposed the motion. This will be on the Regular Agenda for the Board of Examiners meeting.
