Superintendent of Schools was held at this time, There-were some questions
that the Board had hoped would be settled, C1if Nickelson, Administrative
Officer, explained the questions involved, He•said in effect, the Board
would be divesting ~.'i:tself of all school matters. The Board would ho
longer be-involved in purchasing land, etc, for the school districts.
Discussed the issue of fiscal independence for the schools, Time spent
discussing the request of the SCT1001 d9.5tr].L't. Tt was asked if under
fiscal independence, the schools could contract with County Counselo It
was stated that they could hire an administrative adviser *aho would serve
as a deputy county counsel,
John Nopel, Superintendent of Schools Office, stated that it was
his understanding that this would be a transfer of responsibilities. Tt
would put the Board of Supervisors oat of the education business,
Mr. Blackstock said that there would have to be a determination as to exactly
how this operation would function. Both parties would have to approve the
matter. The responsibilities would have to be spelt out in details
Mr, Nickelson said that the only area that would be in question would be
the problem of County Counsel. Chairman Reynolds said that during budget
pregaration, a certair_ portion of the County Counsel°s time could be shown
as serving the school systemo If part of County Counsel°s time was given
to the schools., then the agreement would be that this portion would be
shown in County Counsel`s budget.
Mr, Seely, County Auditor, said that in reviewing the Code sections.,
he has seen ~ehe term of fiscal independence many times, He said the County
is still going to have to handle the money. He would offer a compromise,
He said the Board could order him to set up a separate fund and a tax rate
and-then the County could see how much it would cost the Countye Suggestion
discussed, It was suggested that maybe Mrs Seely could draft up something
and present it to the Board for their consideration.
Discussed action to be taken at this time, Mr. Seely said the
Board could order the Auditor to set up a separate fund for the Superintendent
of Schools office, Supervisor McRillop said what-the Auditor is saying is
do not give them fiscal independence but place the whole matter in the budget.
Chairman Reynolds said the County would have to move ahead and work with.
County Counsel and he was sure that Mr. Seely will follow through with his
suggestion.
John Nopel said he would try to get all the information the Board
desires and will get it to the Board members.
