The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 8:37 a.m. by Vice

and Julie Speer. Also present: Debra Kathan and Chuck Whiting. Chairman Daryl

(King, Krueger) and approved to accept the minutes of the November 3, 2003 meeting.
The next regular meeting was scheduled for 9 a.m. on December 15 and 16, 2003. The
January meeting will be scheduled on January 5 at 8:30 a.m.
Kathan noted that the AFSCME unions have asked for one more opportunity to
negotiate 2003 -2004 contracts. The mediator has set aside December 15 and 16 for the
sessions. It was noted that this could conflict with the County Board session, however
the Personnel Committee would join the Tuesday negotiations as soon as the Board
concluded its business. The prohibitive practices grievance has been postponed
indefinitely and the union request for a unit clarification on the Recycling Specialist and
County Planner /GIS Specialist positions has been postponed also. The Land and Water
Conservation staff has requested an election to seek release from the union and those
actions are pending.
The Committee indicated a favorable response to the forming of a Non -Union
Advisory Health Insurance team. Whiting indicated that insurance consultant Sara
Hames was present at the last Department Head meeting and presented health insurance
options to the group. Whiting will head an advisory team to review options. New health
insurance rates will be implemented this month as payment for January coverages.
Kathan presented the revised job description for the Court Clerk Lead Worker
position. Moved (Krueger, King) and approved unanimously to accept the job
description and authorize a January 2 start date. Kathan will meet with the union to
negotiate the wage particulars of the position.
The Committee discussed the position evaluation for the Land, Water, and Parks
Director that was recently received from the Hay Group. The Hay evaluation was as
follows: EI3 264 E3 (33) 87 D2P 115 WC 9 Total Points 475. This would place
the position in Pay Grade 9. Motion ( Berenschot, King) to accept the Hay evaluation and
place the Land, Water, and Parks Director at Pay Grade 9, effective January 1, 2004.
Amendment to motion (Krueger, Speer) to provide the LWP Director with one -half of the
pay difference from a Pay Grade 8 to a Pay Grade 9 effective January 1, 2004 and the
additional one -half difference as of April 1, 2004. Amendment approved 3 -2 with
Standafer and Berenschot voting in the negative. Main motion as amended approved 4 -1
with Berenschot voting in the negative.
Whiting noted that there were several weeks of work left on the organizational
study from Springsted, but that their representatives were optimistic that the process from
here forward would go quickly as the Personnel Committee authorizes Springsted to enter
all job descriptions in a consistent format. Organizational information such as business
responsibilities and mission statements have been entered and will be reviewed for
consistency.
Per questioning from Speer, Standafer noted that money was set aside in the
administrative budget to review technological needs in the personnel operations. This
includes reviewing computer applications to determine the most efficient way to track
employee issues in the system. The Organizational Study being completed by the
Springsted Group will be maintained within an Access system in the Personnel
Department.
Kathan reviewed the use of wage grids in the hiring process and the need to
provide step increases to new employees as their skills grow within their job duties and
responsibilities. It was noted that the wage grid is also used for negotiating terms of
hiring with new employees, acknowledging certain market factors and availability of
specific skills and training.
Standafer adjourned the Committee at 10:25 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Julie Speer, Secretary
