Warden made a motion to th~effect that all personnel
from administrative to operational be reviewed by the
Executive Committee for recommendation to the Boards
as to number,type,salary scales,vacation and sick
leave policy and other matters normally incident to

After a call for a point of order,Mr.Nisson,
legal counsel for.the Districts,ruled that Director

limiting discussion to two minutes per person.
After discussion of the resolution proposed by

adopt a formal policy,and the necessity of employing
personnel for operation of the treatment plant when
completed,Director Warden withdrew his motion.

That in view of the fact that the Personnel
Committee feels that a.review of the personnel re
quirements of the Joint Administrative Organization
is beyond the scope of the functions of the Pei~sonnel
Committee,and in view of the fact that a competent,
efficient and econcomical Joint Administrative Organ
ization is essential to the proper operation of the
facilities of the Districts,that the Executive~Corn
mittee study and review the entire organization~of the
Joint Administrative Organization and make recopimendations
with respect to changes or improvements in the organi
zational setup and also with respect to the per~sonnel
required for the operation of the Joint Adminis~trative
Organization from managerial to operational personnel;

New Business Director McBride reported that
an industrial firm had re
quested information as to rules and procedure established
for connection to th~lines of District No.1 in an area
in unincorporated te:ritory within the District.
Mr.Nelson reported that data on procedure has been
compiled;that individual members of the Board of Distr
ict No.1 have expressed the opinion that connection to
the trunk lines should be through an assessment district
of some kind;and,as other districts will face the same
problem,he believed that standard rules shuld be
established for all districts insofar as possible.Mr.
Nelson suggested that the Board of District No.1 meet
to consider this problem for its District and the findings
of that Board be presented to other districts for consid
eration.
