meeting Wednesday. Dec. 15.
Negotiations began when
the court received a letter
from Mclean earlier that
week which concerned the
position of county counsel.
According to McLean. Per
" sonnei Rule in Section 2.8 for
the county entitled. "Lay
Off." provides that if there are
changes in duties in an organ
ization, a worker may be laid
off. McLean quoted the rule as
saying, "a reasonable effort
will be made to integrate those
employees into another de

According to McLean the
effort was not made when the
new county counsel position

the court appointed Mike Oths
of Eugene, who had been
recommended by District At

that he had previously reques

until June 1983. which the
court denied. He felt that four
