The following is Mehos' official sto lenient: It is with very great regret that I announce my inability to run for re election to the School Board of Trustees of the Galveston Independent School District, because of an unusual and very heavy work load in my business.

ByJOELKlRKPATRICK County Commissioners were presented with a slim report Administration by the Galveston County research council and told that they shouldn't get a job classification program unless they had a real committment to it. Commissioners met in an informal session Monday morning with Craig W.

Foster, executive director of the research council. and George Odom, research associate. Foster told commissioners: "You shouldn't proceed unless you have a real committment to job classification you won't get your money's worth if you do." He urged commissioners, if they adopt a program, to "gel into something meaningful, not just a pacifier which would oe a waste of time and money." In September, the research council staff met with county officials and were asked for guidance in consideration of a job classification program. Most officials agreed to the need for such a program. The council, in the report to commissioners, said it found very few Texas counties that have adopted classification programs, and none that had a program long enough to evaluate its effectiveness.

Foster reported the council had contacted 14 consulting were asked to comment on the linns and received replies from feasibility and potential of a 12 ol them. The consultants job classification program for Vacek Wants One Person On Park News Releases County Commissioner Jimmie Vacek said Monday he believes that one person "ought to manage all the news releases" concerning Stewart Park. The comment came after Vacek launched into one of bis ex pane discussions on Mayor Edward Schreiber's efforts to work with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to get the department to buy up the life estates of members of the Stewart family so Ihe park can be put to use. Vacek wanted to know what Mayor Schreiber had to do with it, saying "that is not a city park is it?" Vacek said he had read conflicting reports on the park in the papers. Attorney for the County Commissioners William Decker told Vacek there weren't conflicting reports, just conflicting views, and anyway, Decker said: "Pearee Johnson has said he wants no publicity in the papers on the park project." Commissioner Llewellyn said he personally was grateful to the City oi Galveston "and Mayor Schreiber for efforts to get the park into operation.

When asked for a clarification of his views on press releases relaiing to the park. Vacek said; "One person should give out all the news about the park." When asked if this meant he felt the Dews relating to the park should be managed by one person, Vacek said: "You have the horses pulling one way and Uie mules pulling another way. They ought to get their lines all together before they make a statement to the public." Decker: "You ought to quit talking about it." governmental units with the organizational and administrative structure of county governments inTeias. The report a i job classification is only one phase of a comprehensive personnel program. Without personnel administrative tools such as pre employment testing, job analysis, and performance evaluation, the county could not expect to make significant progress toward lasting solution of personnel problems or full development of potential, Foster said.

Potter said for a personnel propim to work, some form of ceitnliied 06 necessary to keep classification uid pin) ip to date. There is one alternative to such a program, he said, and that would be an "in house" classification program, conducted by the commissioners court and other county officials, with professional guidance. As the report was received for study, Tax Assessor Collector C. R. Johnson said he felt it would be nice if the county had a civil service program.
