Foos D PAsE 3 reason this is being brought before the Board a this time is because the Planning Board will not meet in December and the commissioners will not meet again in December except for the Public Hearing. If this was not considered at this time the developer would have to wait until January. The Sanitarian is out on the site this morning and the Planning Board is aware of this. The Planning Board's recommendation is to approve this subject to the Sanitarian signing the map. Discussion followed on the road not being paved and whether it should be a requirement in the subdivision ordinance for all roads to be paved. Commissioner Dossenbach expressed that now would be the time to pave the road and add it to the price of the lot. Mr. Barefoot agreed, but noted at some point you will hear the argument that for the type of development it is, the cost is prohibitive. Commissioner Cox stated that the Planning Board should endeavor to minimize approval of roads that are not paved. Mr. Barefoot informed the Board that in 1985 when the ordinance was amended, the Planning Board recommended requiring all roads be paved and the Commissioners at that time decided against this. The Planning Board will be glad to study this again if this Board so desires. Mr. Barefoot advised this subdivision does meet the requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The only thing the board needs to consider, is whether to approve it without the Sanitarian's signature. As far as discussions about the paved road, he will be glad to take this back to the Planning Board. However, in fairness to the Developer, he has followed the rules that were given him in 1985. Commissioner Stafford moved to approve the final Subdivision Plan for White Hill Meadows, Section II subject to the approval of the County Health Department. Commissioner Cox seconded the motion and upon a vote the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Dossenbach, Matthews, Stafford and Wicker Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion carried unanimously. The Chairman advised the next item on the agenda was Consideration of a proposal regarding positions in the Department of Social Services. Mr. Donn Gunderson, Director Department of Social Services was recognized. He advised that on November 14th the Board approved the 3/5 time Social Worker III position to investigate child protective services cases. Since that time they have had a continued high load of neglect and abuse referrals. There were 39 in the month of October and 31 through the 29th of November. State personnel regulations do not allow Social Worker II positions to investigate neglect and abuse referrals. It requires a Social Worker III position. They currently have 2 investigators and one Intake Worker who is a Social Worker II. They feel they need more time in the investigative role. His proposal is to make the III position full time and to convert the Social Worker II position back to 3
