DMG MAXIMUS

DMG Maximus thanked the Commission for the opportunity and reviewed what the benefits would be if selecting the DMG Maximus Group. They are the leading providers for governmental entities. They recently completed a study for the Grand Chute-Menasha Sewage Commission and the Town of Grand Chute. The first step is to do a job analysis, then a questionnaire to the employees, reviewed by the department heads. A job description is created and comparatives to other organizations are provided with an analysis of external market wages. Finally, an employee review of the process, to respond to any information missing from the job descriptions. A comparative study of information is based on similar external businesses. The focus is on workflow.

We specialize in providing services to the public sector. There is a different mix of compensation between the public and private sector. We begin with a questionnaire, which is completed by each employee who is involved in the analysis, and then conduct interviews. We will be physically present to watch workflow and back logs.

Much discussion ensued.

A proposal overview was given by 3 representatives from the DMG Maximus Group.

Chairman Tews asked what the timetable would be. He would like to see a draft by November 1st and a conclusion around November 15^th.

DMG Maximus explained that it would take approximately 17 weeks and were willing to shoot for a July 31, 2000 deadline.

VIRCHOW KRAUSE AND CO. LLP

A proposal was presented by Virchow Krause and Co., LLP and an overview of how they would conduct the studies.

Commissioner Krueger stated that more important than the salary study, is the job study of who has what for workloads.

Commissioner Sprague stated that the two should dovetail. First the job classification study should be completed then the compensation should be equitable and appropriate. We need to see if the staffing level is appropriate.

Virchow Krause stated that they do not plan to go through each operation and do a full scale report. 90% of the jobs are suitable, and 10% of the jobs are where the problem exists. Virchow Krause would examine the workloads. First phase would be a diagnostic for pressure points, and then an in-depth analysis of the issues would be brought forward.

Chief Weiss commented that when the Police Department went through the accreditation, they looked at training weaknesses and job task analysis.

Grace Vander Velden, reported on a memo from Dave Wagner which stated that his presentation did not include the project on State Highway 114. We feel we should put aside available cash reserves for this project.

Grace asked direction from the Commission whether she pursue an amendment for the original agreement regarding the Town of Neenah and their payment schedule. Please look over the materials, discuss the alternatives and come back with a directive whether it should be yearly or monthly and be paid ahead.

Paula, Pagel, Office Manager made a comment regarding the articles about the employees workload. She commented that the Utility District employees work very hard.

At 6:07 p.m., MOTION: Commissioner Krueger, second Commissioner Nennig to adjourn the regular meeting of the Utility District of Commissioners. Motion carried unanimously, with Commissioner Jurgensen excused.

Respectfully submitted,
