Working groups were established to address areas of concern and set goals which will take Butte County into the 21st Century; there have been improvements to computers, software and training in many departments, and increased manpower in the area of public protection. A pay-for-performance system for appointed department heads was established, and County public service areas such as public works, development services and county records have been modernized and service has been improved. Chair Davis recognized the previous boards for "setting the wheels in motion" by being so frugal, and department heads by working to maintain that frugality. Chair Davis thanked all supervisors, department heads and County employees for a "job well done." Page O1 January 13, 1998 January 13, 1998 98-01 2.
