B.       Review of Proposed Compensation Study by Koff and Associates
a.    Review of FTE Total & Cost Impact on Budget.
Mr. Williams provided a handout (a spreadsheet) showing estimated financial impact to ISD budget if the recommendations of the study were implemented over 2 years, and 3 years.  The handout was displayed via PowerPoint and real-time edits could be made, and impacts reviewed, if desired.  Mr. Williams discussed briefly the handout and its assumptions. The committee began discussing the methodologies used in the study, the validity of the comparator agencies used, and concern over ISD “efficiency” when looking at other comparators.  The discussion occurred for some time.  The committee ultimately indicated they were not ready to make a recommendation to the ISD Board on implementing the Compensation study until a “top to bottom” efficiency study was investigated.  The committee directed Mr. Williams to investigate the possible costs and timing of an efficiency study and report back to the committee. 


C.       Discussion on Reserve Policy.
This item was tabled until the next meeting.

D.      Discussion on Future Items for Finance Committee and Proposed Meeting Dates. 
Continue discussion on the Compensation study and possible efficiency study.  Also, discuss Reserve Policy at the next meeting.  No future meeting date was set at this time.

E.       Adjournment.
The meeting was adjourned at 11:55p.m.
