PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING
Date: May 10, 1995 Location: Government Center, Hudson
The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 1:10
p.m. by Chairman John Bradley. Members present: Bradley, Karen
Bailey, Len Nyland, Bill Krueger, and Dick King. Also present:
Debra Kathan and John Krizek.
Bradley noted that it was a properly noticed meeting. Moved
(Nyland, Krueger) and approved to accept the agenda as presented.
Moved (King, Bailey) and approved to accept the minutes of the
April 24 Personnel Committee meeting. Discussion regarding
remaining issues of flexible scheduling as posed by various County
departments.
The committee reviewed the requests of the AODA and Mental
Health units for staffing evening hours in their clinics. Also
present for the discussion: John Borup, Marilyn Fruit. Motion
(Krueger, Bailey) to "grandfather" the five incumbents in their
current positions in the AODA and MH operations who currently work
4 X 10 schedules with the understanding that full-time new hires
would be scheduled on a more traditional five -workday basis. As a
point of clarification, Krueger noted that if any flex -schedule
employees wanted to go back to the traditional five-day schedule,
that could be accomplished with supervisor approval only. Nyland
emphasized that new hires into the "grandfathered" positions would
not be eligible for 4 X 10 scheduling. Borup indicated that the
grandfathering compromise was a workable solution to the issue.
Roll call vote: all ayes motion carried.
Marilyn Fruit, Economic Support Supervisor, appeared before
the Committee, per their request, to assess the 4 X 10 program in
Economic Support. Fruit believed that the 4 X 10 provision, as
defined in the Economic Support Unit through an addendum to the
contract, improved service to clients and improved productivity and
agency operations. She -noted that eight people remain on the 4 X
10 schedule in Economic Support. Moved (Krueger, King) to
grandfather in the eight people in Economic Support who are working
4 X 10 schedules, with the understanding that changes in the
positions and new hires would have to return to the traditional
five-day schedule. Roll call vote: all aye; motion carried.
King noted that the Highway Commissioner had another
commitment so could not attend the Committee meeting. He indicated
that the Highway Department managers and Committee assess the need
for summer 4 X 10's each year and determine whether or not the 4 X
10 will be implemented. The 4 X logschedulefor this year has been
set from May 8 to September 801110-6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Krizek noted that the maintenance department is preparing
procedures to deal with issues such as hazardous product handling,
noise reduction, etc. These are in response to DILHR operations
concerns. He noted that an AODA counselor was to be laid -off due
to a lack of clients to serve in that unit. With census down at
the nursing home, some vacant positions have not been filled to
reduce staffing levels and the positions of in-service RN and
Social Worker were cut by.one day each week.
Bradley adjourned the meeting at 2:30lee m0
Respectfully submitted,
Len Nyland, Secretary
