PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING
Date: November 29, 1999 Location: Government Center, Hudson
The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 9 a.m. by Chairman Gerald
Peterson. Members present: Peterson, Herb Giese, Julie Speer, Mary Louise Olson, and Art
Jacobson. Also present: Debra Kathan.
Moved (Olson, Speer) and approved to adopt the agenda as presented. Date of the next
meeting was set for December 15. Moved (Jacobson, Giese) and approved to accept the minutes
of the November 16 committee meeting.
The Committee reviewed the information regarding the newest wage proposal plan which
would use 19-comparable Wisconsin counties as the standard for comparisons with like
positions. Discussion regarding the criteria used to determine the comparable counties. The
committee was in agreement with the criteria and authorized the Personnel Department to go
forward with these standards. Included in the wage plan was a three-year component with wage
increases on January 1 of each year. Two additional factors were considered under the wage
plan—a merit plan for exceptional job performance as determined by the supervising committee
and approved by the Personnel Committee and a market factor item which would permit wage
flexibility in recruitment or retention of specialized positions that could not be maintained within
usual wage ranges.
Discussion regarding the other components of the compensation package for non-
represented employees: 125 Plan, direct deposit, and 11-day lag for payroll purposes.
The Finance Department projects that the 125 Plan would be implemented within the first quarter
of the new year. Direct deposit would be available once the new payroll system is fully
operational. The Finance Director will distribute a plan to employees for moving from a 4-day
lag to an 11-day lag over the course of one year.
Moved (Speer, Olson) and approved to recommend to the County Board the adoption of
the Non-Represented Compensation package for years 2000, 2001, and 2002 to include wage
rates based on a 19-county standard, the implementation of a 125 Plan, direct deposit of payroll
checks, and the move to an 11-day lag for payroll purposes. The Committee requested that
copies of the plan and supporting documentation be sent to County Board members prior to the
December County Board session and that the Personnel Committee receive preliminary copies as
soon as available.
Moved(Giese, Jacobson) and approved to adjourn at 11:30 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Louise Olson
Secretary
