E. Items Requiring Committee Action  
PROGRAM EVALUATION PROPOSALS SUBMITTED FOR CONSIDERATION  
BY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE  
Attachments:  
Chair Miles indicated that he had discussed Supervisor Andrae's three program  
evaluation proposals with her and that she indicated that proposals 2 and 3 were not  
ready for evaluation as several issues were pending. And she was amenable to holding  
off on proposal 1.  
Staff indicated that the La Follette Capstone project that is currently underway, and that  
will focus on equity in recruitment, retention, and promotion, should provide useful  
updates to recruitment, retention, and promotion data that can then be used by the  
selected program evaluation. That data will be available by end of May. Staff will work on  
preparing the program evaluation process so that a selected program evaluation vendor  
can begin work after the Capstone project is completed and updated data available.  
The committee agreed on selection of Miles' proposal for a program evaluation of county  
department-wide employment demographics, workplace environment/work climate, and  
workplace equity.  
A motion was made by MILES, seconded by VELDRAN, that the Miles proposal for  
a program evaluation in the Action Item be selected and gave direction for staff  
to conduct the process for the program evaluation topic selected for 2023. The  
motion carried by a voice vote.
