MR. MOSS: Frank is the basic author of this <br /> and I ' ll let :him answer that question. <br /> MR. ZUZAK: ": First of all , we had the current <br /> organizational chart as a guideline of what is presently being <br /> done. We took the County Charter with the organizational <br /> chart and we tried to evaluate all of the various departments .. <br /> and commissions, the overlapping, the possibilities of im- <br /> proving the effectiveness and the efficiency of the adminis- <br /> tration . I think it is an open secret that we need to do <br /> something to improve the efficiency of our -bureaucratic ope_ra-j <br /> tion. That is primarily what we were endeavoring, to do to <br /> provide something for you to consider as to one way that this <br /> might be done. . <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : Did you talk to anybody in <br /> !county government in preparing this? <br /> MR. ZUZA K `: We talked to quite a number of <br /> people. We have invited people to come visit with us the same <br /> as you have invited us to come visit with you. , They have been <br /> County Councilmen , they have been people from thetbta eauc'racy9a <br /> theyhave -been people fromthe outside. So, wethave tried to. <br /> do as fine a job as we can in talking with a number of people <br /> before making suggestions for your .consideration. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : It seems like your group has <br /> done a lot of homework. We appreciate that. It ' s just that <br /> when I heard that you only had 14 members; .I wondered do you <br /> then speak for or are you affiliated with other groups.? <br /> MR. ZUZAK: We are associated or affiliated-- <br /> we work with many people within this organization that are <br /> members of other organizations. There are members in our <br /> group that are members of the Chamber of Commerce. There are <br /> members of various civic organizations ; fraternal organizations ; <br /> trade organizations ; and so forth , throughout the area. <br /> This group is , you might say, primarily a <br /> study group that analyzes things in depth. Similar to thinking <br /> or think tank as you have heard of. Or study groups and so <br /> forth. We do an awful lot of that type of work because of the <br /> group ' s composition. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : These 14 members have been <br /> together for about 10 years more or less? <br /> MR. ZUZAK: j Yes. We& have been together ifjPr'<<' <br /> qui teome time. <br /> MRS. KOBAYASHI : What other kinds of things <br /> have you stud*'d,, ; <br /> MR. ZUZAK_: One of the efforts has been <br /> towards hospitals. We feel that hospitals should be given the <br /> consideration of private operation rather than. by government <br /> operation. We feel a great deal of cefficeiency'_can <br /> - 15 - <br />
