86 I ,Mr. Hinkley said he had talked to the Ciyil Service Commission con- cerning this matter, and he explained the procedures which would have to be Toll owed. The Commission, he stated, would have no objection whatever if the Board decided to appoint an Acting Director for the interim period and that that person, if under Civil SerVice"would retain his present title, salary and Giyil Service rights. If the Board decides to take such action today, he further explained, all that would be necessary would be for the Board to notify the Civil Service COnnnission that they had appointed an Act- ing Director and the Connnission would recognize such person 8$ the Acting Director. He also explained that if a Director were appointed on a pro- visional baais, it would mean that that person would be Director until such time as the Commission gave examinations for that position; then, that per- son would be required to take the examination and pass high enough to retain the position. An Acting Director, however, he explained, would ac~ as Di- rector until a provisional appointment was made or until the Civil Service Commission gave examinations and a permanent Director was selected. Mr. Hinkley stated that the members of the Commission wanted to assure the Board that they realized the importance of this position to the State and that they would cooperate in every way possible with the Board in this matter, and said they would be glad to meet with the Board, or a committee of the Board, at any time to discuss the many problems involved. At this point, Mr. Hinkley read to the Board the requil'ements, quali- fications and job duties, as set up by the Civil Service Connnission and ap- proved January I, 1952. It was suggested that copies of the qualifications set up by the Civil Service Commission be distributed to all members of the Board. Mr. Peterson stated that he would obtain copies of the above mentioned qualifications and see that each member of the Board receiyed a copy. Considerable discussion on the matter ensued. The possibility of appointing an Acting Dire~tor and an Executive Com- mittee, consisting of three members of the Board~ was discussed. It was moved by Dan B. Hunter and seconded by M. C. Hinderlider that R. M. Gildersleeve, Chief Engineer of the Board, be appointed Acting Director until such tirne as a provisional or permanent Director is chosen. On vote being taken, the motion carried unanimously and was de- clared adopted. I Mr. Dutcher suggested that Mr. Brown contact the Governor, informing him of the action taken, and secure his approval before releasing .the news to the press. It was moved by W. M. Williams and seconded by E. L. Dutcher that the Chair be authorized to ,appoint an Executiye Committee of three to work with Mr. Gildersleeve during the interim period. On vote being taken the motion carried unanimously and was de- clared adopted. Thereupon, J. M. Dille, E. L. Dutcher and George J. Bailey were named to v/ork on the Executive Committee.
