The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by Chairman
Daryl Standafer. Members present: Standafer, Esther Wentz, Lori Bernard, and Cindy
Leonard. Also present: Debra Kathan and Carolyn Holmsten from the Springsted Group.
Chuck Whiting and Dick King arrived later.
Moved (Wentz, Leonard) and approved to adopt the agenda as presented. Moved
(Wentz, Bernard) and approved to accept the minutes from the December 3, 2004
meeting. Moved (Leonard, Wentz) and approved to accept the minutes from the
December 10, 2004 meeting. The next regularly scheduled meeting was set for February
4, 2005.
Standafer noted that he had requested Chuck Whiting to prepare a draft document
for the Director's performance evaluation to be presented to the Committee at its
February meeting. Input should be directed to Whiting.
It was noted that three AFSCME unions (Highway, Nursing Home, and Human
Services Non -Pro) did not agree to the new holiday schedule for 2005. The GGSS Union
did vote to follow the new schedule in 2005. The Personnel Committee noted that the
new schedule for 10 holidays would remain in place.
Carolyn Holmsten was present to review the Springsted Organizational Study.
Holmsten noted that the Springsted group had prepared the job descriptions in a
consistent format late last spring and they were waiting for final changes in the wording
of the descriptions before conducting any evaluation system activities. The administration
portion of the study focusing on Mission Statements and Business Responsibilities has
been concluded and was used in the 2005 budgeting process. The Committee wants the
job description portion to be completed in June, in time for 2006 budget preparations.
Whiting indicated that the Committee would need to authorize and implement a policy
commitment to the program to validate its use as a tool for annual budget preparation.
Kathan was authorized the use of additional help, if necessary, to complete the project.
Kathan updated the Committee on staffing changes for 2005 including the hiring
of shift supervisors in the Jail and Patrol operations, the filling of the Accountant/Fiscal
Manager position at the SCHC with Jennifer Pempek- Fitzmaurice, and the recruitment
for a new Chief Deputy in the Sheriff's Department, Social Worker for the Community
Support Program, and Director for the Office on Aging program.
Standafer left the meeting at 9:45 because of a previous commitment. Vice Chair
King chaired the meeting. Moved (Wentz, King) and approved to adjourn at 9:50 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Esther Wentz, Secretary
