The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 8:34 a.m. by Chairman

Moved (Berenschot, Krueger) and approved to accept the minutes of the February 2,
2004 meeting. The next meeting was set for 8:30 a.m., April 5, 2004.
Whiting updated the committee on the work of the non -union health insurance
advisory team. The team met with consultant Sara Hames on February 24 and is
scheduled to meet again at the end of this week. The team has reviewed several health
insurance options and appears to be focusing on the health risk assessment and disease
management as positive steps that, ultimately, would provide better health to the
employees and financial benefits to the County. The team has reviewed retiree health
plans also, but taken no advisory action.
The Committee met with elected officials Kay Walsh, Cheryl Slind, and Cindy
Campbell and discussed compensation for the years 2005 -2006. It was noted that the
compensation rates needed to be set prior to the taking -out of papers in June. The elected
officials distributed documents regarding their annual wages as compared to 17 other WI
counties. Standafer reviewed a compensation strategy which would provide equal pay
rates for the positions of Clerk of Court, County Clerk, County Treasurer, and Register of
Deeds. The three elected officials in attendance responded positively to the equal pay
proposal. The Committee reviewed actions from previous years as well as data from area
counties.
Motion (Krueger, King) to approve a pay rate for the positions of Clerk of Court,
County Clerk, Register of Deeds, and County Treasurer at $49,145 for 2005 and a 2.5%
wage increase ($50,374) for 2006. Approved unanimously. The wages for the position
of Sheriff were set in 2002 for a four -year period through 2006. Motion (Krueger, King)
to set the health insurance rates for the positions of Clerk of Court, County Clerk,
Register of Deeds, County Treasurer, and Sheriff at a monthly premium paid at 90% by
the County and 10% by the Employee. Approved unanimously. The Committee noted
that these recommendations would go forward as a resolution at the next County Board
meeting.
Kathan received verbal confirmation from the union president that the Health
Center (Nursing Home) Union had approved the settlement offer for a 2003 -2005
contract. The Committee reviewed updated job descriptions from the Zoning
Department — Administrative Secretary and Paralegal/Office Manager. Moved (Speer,
Krueger) and approved to accept the job descriptions as presented.
Motion (Berenschot, Krueger) to go into closed session per WI Stat. 19.85 (1) c
for the purpose of reviewing a performance evaluation for the Personnel Director. Roll
call vote: all aye; moved into closed session at 10:30 a.m. Moved (Berenschot, Krueger)
and approved to come out of closed session at 11:16 a.m.
Standafer adjourned the Committee at 11:16 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Julie Speer, Secretary
