It was the consensus of the committee that Kathan and Krizek
would proceed with language issues to be resolved for the next
contract year. Meetings have been scheduled with affected
Department Heads. Dates have also been confirmed for the initial
exchange of proposals with the unions.
Kathan reviewed the Personal Time Off program that replaced
the traditional vacation and sick leave accruals for most County
employees. The PTO program has been in effect since 1993 for non -
represented employees and 1994 for AFSCME-union employees.
Fred Johnson, Social Work Supervisor, appeared before the
Committee to review a grant his unit received for funding a
juvenile restitution service coordinator who works with victims of
juvenile crime to establish appropriate restitution costs. The
Personnel Committee had previously approved the grant and
corresponding temporary position through June, 1.996. Johnson noted
that funding was now available through June of 1997 to place the
position at an average of 1.5 days per week. Moved (Bradley,
Olson) and approved to grant continuation of the position under the
Restitution Grant funding through June, 1997.
The Committee discussed scheduling meetings on a regular,
monthly basis; decision was made to schedule the first Monday of
each month, 9 a.m., as the meeting date, with the understanding
that it could be cancelled one week prior to the meeting date if
there was insufficient business to conduct. The Personnel
Department would contact the Chairman or other officers to make
that determination.
Because of upcoming negotiations and budget preparations, it
was decided to schedule the July meetings on the 16th and 24th at
9 a.m. Business to be conducted on the 16th will include
preparation of the Countyfs position in union bargaining. The
Committee will review wage and health insurance histories as
prepared by the Personnel Department. On the 24th, the groups will
exchange proposals. Following the exchange, the Committee will
review new and upgraded position requests for the 1997 budget.
The Personnel Committee reviewed budget -building for 1997. It
was decided to direct departments to leave the health insurance
premiums at the same rate as was used in 1996 budgets. No
adjustments were to be made to wages as departments planned their
1997 budgets --except for step increases already approved on the
union and non -union wage grids.
The Committee accepted the resignation of Alfie Schrank as of
June 30. He served St. Croix County as a Deputy in the Sherifffs
Department for 31 years.
Employee picnic dates will be set at the next meeting. Moved
(Jacobson, Filipiak) and approved to adjourn at 4:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Louise Olson
Secretary
