MISCELLANEOUS & SEPTIC SYSTEMS 08-18-08
Richard Ziesenis, Director of Environmental Health, initiated a discussion with the Board on the licensing requirements for septic system installers in Douglas County. Also in attendance was Keith Dabney, Director of Zoning and Codes. Ziesenis stated each county has a different code regarding the license requirements. There is no county in the state that requires a septic installer be a licensed plumber. Douglas County requires the applicant pass a 30-minute written test to be come a licensed septic installer.
Jones asked where the septic system begins. Ziesenis stated outside the building. Dabney would be responsible for the inspection of everything inside the building, and the health department would be responsible for everything outside the building. Johnson asked if a licensed plumber is also required have a septic system installer license. Ziesenis confirmed yes, that is correct. Dabney also discussed that requiring a licensed plumber to install septic systems would increase expenses for the property owners.
Johnson opened the item for public comment.
Mike Capra, Vito's Plumbing, stated as a licensed plumber he feels any type of installation or repairs to septic systems should be performed by a licensed plumber, and any installation or repairs should require a permit.
It was the consensus of the Board that the current requirements are acceptable and the Board would be willing to follow any new requirements imposed by the State.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES & RETIREMENT 08-18-08
The Board considered the approval of a Retirement Incentive Plan as discussed during budget sessions. Pam Madl, Assistant County Administrator, presented and outline for approval.

This offer applies to employees who are on the Douglas County payroll, but not in grant funded positions. The deadline for acceptance of this plan is 5:00 p.m. on September 15, 2008, and the employee's decision is binding at that time. If approved, an announcement of the plan will be sent to all employees.
Johnson opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.
