Later, if the county chooses, the project could include a new personnel policy manual, guidelines and training of sup ervisors in performance appraisal techniques. Issues such as drug testing might be addressed as well, the board members said. "We don't even have job descriptions now," said com missioner Tim McCormack "We have inconsistent evalua tion procedures." McCormack said, for instance, that the consultants work to design pay scales that are fair to people working sim ilar jobs within the countv and competitive with salaries for similar jobs in other counties McCormack said the countv could avoid hiring a consultant but maybe only at the cost of &/ fu " ,imc P'^onnei
