be the opportune time to have input from the department heads and staff in
order to make the space and work more effective. Mr. Milne asked that all
feel free to come and give the team any information they feel is important
to the successful completion of the project.
Commissioner Pistor asked if the purpose of the project is to determine
if the op~ration of the County cannot be handled within the present buildings
yet still be effective to which Mr. Milne replied in the affirmative and
added the time involved would be from three to four months. Ms. Kathy Manz.
Youth Guidance Director. inquired if those County people not currently housed
in the complex would be considered for a move - the answer was affirmative.
Utility Director Irving Berzon queried if in addition to the space study
there was going to be a management study and Mr. Milne explained that the
genesis of the study is a review of the facility needs which logically means
that at the same time - one could determine if what is being done - could be
done more effectively so a management audit has been included in the work
program. This will allow the team to look at what the departments are doing
now; how they are doing it. and how to make the work more efficient but
emphasized that this project is not a "witch hunt" but simply a matter of
looking for ways to better use the available space and time.
Following discussion which covered the projected study of the jail area.
Mr. Milne identified his firm as one that has been in the consulting business
for the past 53 years; that A. T. Kearney. Inc. employs 425 consultants world-
wide; that their headquarters is in Chicago but the staffing for work in the
southeast comes out of Atlanta; that their work has included hospitals.
industrial companies. institutions and governments. both city and county. Mr.
Milne concluded his presentation with the statement that all of his team are
looking forward to working with the people at the Complex.
There being no furi:;ler business to come before the Board. the meeting was
adjourned by order of the Chair - Time: 1:55 P.M.
