PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING
Unofficial
Date: May 5, 2003 Location: Government Center, Hudson
The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 9:30 a.m. by Chairman
Daryl Standafer. Members present: Standafer, Leon Berenschot, Stan Krueger, Dick
King, and Julie Speer. Also present: Debra Kathan and Chuck Whiting.
Moved (Speer, Krueger) and approved to adopt the agenda as presented. Moved
(Berenschot, King) and approved to accept the minutes of the April 7, 2003 meeting. The
next meeting was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on June 2. The Springsted Group will be
attending that meeting to update the Committee on the organizational study.
Motion (Berenschot, Krueger) to go into closed session per WI Stat. 19.85 (1) c
for the purpose of labor negotiations updates. Roll call vote: all aye; moved into closed
session at 9:33 a.m. Moved (Berenschot, Krueger) and approved to come out of closed
session at 9:55 a.m.
Appearing before the Committee were representatives from Health and Human
Services: John Borup, Ron Kiesler, and Judy Ziegler. Kiesler requested that the County
consider placing the two Mental Health Technician positions into the same union
classification as the two union Mental Health Technicians. This would permit a greater
sharing of job duties and responsibilities and permit the employees more flexibility in
dealing with departmental clients. Any costs associated with the movement of the two
non -union positions into the union would be borne by the HHS budget. Moved
(Berenschot, Speer) and approved to authorize Personnel to enter into negotiations with
the Human Services Non -Pro Union to place all Mental Health Technicians in the Union,
with the understanding that all incumbents would retain their positions, and furthermore,
that the Health and Human Services Board would formally approve the action, as well.
Judy Ziegler and John Borup presented a request from the Human Services Board
for reclassifying a Financial Assistant to a Lead Worker position, therefore assisting the
Accountant with staff supervision and the assigning and reviewing of tasks. Borup
indicated that the change would not result in any additional county dollars. Moved
(Berenschot, Krueger) and approved to authorize Personnel to negotiate with the union
the creation of the position of Financial Assistant—Lead Worker. It was noted that the
incumbent was currently working in a 75% position. The Personnel Committee
recommended to Borup and Ziegler that they review the staffing pattern in that unit and
arrange for the Lead Worker to expand to a 100% position as part of the budget process
for 2003.
The Committee reviewed a request from the Finance Committee to reinstate the
position of Office Manager in the Clerk of Courts Office. If the current First Deputy
accepted the Office Manager position, then it is the intention of the Finance Committee to
not refill the First Deputy position at this time. Moved (Speer, King) and approved to
accept the Finance Committee recommendation to re- instate the Office Manager position
in the Clerk of Courts Office, with the understanding that any additional cost for the
position would have to be absorbed within the department's current budget. Kathan will
notify the union of this change.
Motion (Berenschot, King) to go into closed session at 11:45 a.m. for review of
an employee performance evaluation. Roll call vote: all aye; motion carried. Moved
(Berenschot, Krueger) and approved to come out of closed session at 12:03 p.m.
Standafer adjourned the meeting at 12:03 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Julie Speer, Secretary
