Tribe personnel director studies Salt Lake office 2 Floyd Wyzaket, personnel director the Ute Indian Tribe, is serving s internship in Salt Lake Countys personnei department to observe how the large department operates. During the internship, the county office served as a model for Mr. Wyasket is such programs as job for 2 2 six-wee- k . classifications, job descriptions, wages and the merit system. The Ute hopes to return to the reservation with ideas to improve the tribal department One area with which he has been impressed is the merit system. "Theres nothing like it on the Ute 'reservation- - it could be an area of Improvement for us, he said. Mr. Wyasket said the two personnel offices serve similar functions, because each plays an important role in both eounty and tribal government However, the Ute Personnel Office does more than coordinate employ-ment-must also try to bring about a change in many Indian lives on the reservation. We have to try and develop the Utes so that more can leave the reservation," Wyasket says. "Right now, many Utes stay on the reservation for good. But right now, its also tough to leave the reservation because of low income and low levels of education. Many Utes also have fears about lesving the reservation, fears about the outside world --even though these fears usually dont eome true. The Ute Personnel Office has to deal with all these problems". Although the Ute Personnel Office is similar to its counterpart in Salt Lake county, there are some differences. One difference is size. The County department employs 11 persons and is responsible for 3,660 perms nent employees. On the other hand, the Ute office employs three persons, including Mr.Wyasket, and is currently responsible for 160 ld the reservation, so we need many more employment positions. We also need much more education in skilled snd positions as a starting point to help the people. The pay is a problem, too, because its much lower on the reservation. And at the top of all these problems is spathy-soUtes on the reservation simply dont care." Solutions to these problems are complex, but Mr. Wyasket said the Ute Personnel Office can help out in semi-skille- d me the future. When possible, we need to develop more training programs and better educational programs, as well. And, like everywhere else, we need to work toward cutting both inflation and the cost of living.
