The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 8:30 a.m. by Chairman
Daryl Standafer. Members present: Standafer, Leon Berenschot, Stan Krueger, Dick
King, and Julie Speer. Also present: Debra Kathan, Chuck Whiting, and Steve Weld.
Moved (Berenschot, Krueger) and approved to adopt the agenda as presented.
Moved (Speer, King) and approved to accept the minutes of the October 6, 2003 meeting.
The next regular meeting was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on December 8, 2003.
Art Jensen from the Planning, Zoning, and Parks Committee and the Land and
Water Conservation Committee, Ron Raymond from the Land and Water Conservation
Committee, and Bob Heise; Land, Water, and Parks Director met with the Personnel
Committee to review the updated job description for the position of LWP Director. The
revised Director's job description was submitted to the Personnel Committee by these
two Committees last month. The Committee directed that the LWP Director and
Personnel Director meet to revise the description and return it to the Committee this
month for review and action.
Speer expressed concern that the Parks and Land and Water Conservation
departments were still supervised by two different committees. Jensen indicated that the
committees had taken action to move the Recycling Program to the PZP Committee and
the Parks Department to the Land and Water Conservation Committee. These actions
were being sent to the Administration Committee for review. Jensen indicated that both
Committees had approved the revisions to the job description and requested that the
description be re- reviewed by Hay Management Group to assess its point value.
Standafer noted that the Personnel Committee would take the request under advisement.
Motion (Berenschot, King) to go into closed session per WI Statute 19.85 (1) c for
the review of negotiations issues. Roll call vote: all aye; moved into closed session at
8:50 a.m. Moved (Berenschot, Krueger) and approved to come out of closed session at
9:45 a.m.
Clerk of Court Lori Meyer and Judges Lundell and Needham appeared before the
Committee to request consideration of an additional position in the Clerk of Courts
Office. In reviewing job descriptions for Office Manager and First Deputy it was
determined that the similarities were too great to justify both positions. Lundell stated
that the office needed a lead worker -type position to assist with training and work
delegation. Kathan and Meyer were directed to compose an appropriate job description
and bring it to the Committee at its December meeting.
Discussion regarding the LWP Director position. Moved (Berenschot, Krueger)
and approved to accept the job description and forward it to the Hay Management Group
for a point review. Whiting noted that he had scheduled employee meetings to discuss
the new rates for health insurance. Notices were sent to all employees last week. Union
business agents Bauer and Hartmann were scheduled to meet with the County regarding
the health insurance, also. Sara Hames, insurance consultant, is scheduled to meet with
the Department Heads on November 21. The insurance "team" concept would be placed
back in the County's final offers to AFSCME.
Moved (Krueger, Speer) and approved to authorize the purchase of a replacement
printer in the Personnel Office, and further to authorize a line item transfer within the
budget to accommodate the cost. Moved (King, Krueger) and approved to bring forward
a resolution to the County Board regarding the non -union compensation for 2004
including an across - the -board wage increase of three percent and a separate non -union
health insurance group, with premium rates as authorized by the Finance Committee.
Speer asked that an agenda item regarding a personnel study be added to the December
agenda. Whiting added that he would have an update on the Springsted Organizational
Study for December. Also on the agenda for next time would be a review of the use of
the wage grid in hiring and the use of steps within the grid on a time progression basis.
Standafer adjourned the Committee at 11 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Julie Speer, Secretary
