PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING
Date: November 20,2000 Location: Government Center,Hudson -
The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 9:02 p.m. by Chairman Gerald
Peterson. Members present: Peterson, Julie Speer,Art Jacobson, and Ralph Swenson. Mary
Louise Olson received an excused absence. Also present: Debra Kathan, Chuck Whiting.
Moved (Jacobson, Swenson) and approved to adopt the agenda as presented. The next
meeting date was set for 9 a.m., January 8. Moved (Speer, Jacobson) and approved to accept the
minutes of the October 18 meeting.
Discussion regarding the Employee Appreciation Banquet. General agreement that the
central location was desirable; food was fine and gifts were appropriate. Committee would like
to consider a livelier and longer entertainer next year. Financial considerations could make that
difficult. They suggested that recipients be contacted for their input on appropriate -
commemorative gifts. The Committee wants to consider inviting department heads to the
banquet next year if they have an award recipient.
The Committee is awaiting final work on the Human Services Union-Professional
certification for arbitration. The Committee instructed Steve Weld to make the County's final
offer immediately, regardless of any pending submission from Steve Hartmann on behalf of the
AFSCME Union.
The Committee noted that the January agenda should include a review of the negotiations
process that was used for this round of negotiations. They wish to review the advisability of
more clearly defining the parameters of the bargain and the setting of maximum costs.
As the informal health insurance committee works with Chuck Whiting regarding on-
going health insurance issues,the Committee would like to see a definition and plan for an
appeal process to coverage exceptions.
The Committee reviewed a request for a reclassification of the Emergency Management
Director position. The evaluation process for department heads does not include a local review;
it is evaluated by Al Bunnett of the Hay Group. The job description had been previously
submitted to the Hay Group. Moved (Jacobson, Speer) and approved to accept the Hay
evaluation for the position of Emergency Management Director: EI2 230 E3 (33) 76 E1 S 100=
406 points.
The Committee reviewed a request from the Sheriff which asked for reconsideration of
the evaluation for the position of Administrative Assistant in the Sheriff's Office. He indicated
that a new job description more accurately reflected the job duties of the position, not the original
one that was submitted by his office. The Committee agreed to permit the Evaluation Team to
i
review the revised job description and report back to the Committee with its findings.
The Committee reviewed a letter from John Borup regarding issues of wage compression
within the non-union wage grid; in particular in the upper levels of the grid. The Committee will
review the issue at its next meeting.
The Committee adjourned at 12:22 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Debra Kathan
Acting Secretary
