PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING
Date: November 16, 1999 Location: Government Center,Hudson
The Personnel Committee meeting was called to order at 12:40 p.m. by Chairman Gerald
Peterson. Members present: Peterson, Herb Giese, Julie Speer, Art Jacobson, and Mary Louise
Olson. Also present: Debra Kathan, Steve Weld, and Dennis Hillstead.
Moved (Giese, Speer) and approved to adopt the agenda as presented. The next meeting
date was set for 9 a.m.,November 29. Moved(Jacobson, Giese) and approved to accept the
minutes of the October 25 meeting.
The Committee reviewed Monday night's Employee Recognition Banquet. Positive
comments regarding food,program, and gifts. Future consideration of more centralized meeting
location and additional funding for meals and banquet facilities.
The Committee met with representatives of the LAW union including business agent
Tom Bauer and local members Mark Mikla, Bob Widiker, Dave Hake, and Jeff Klatt. Both sides
agreed to ground rules for the bargain as follows:
* explanation of supporting rationale as part of the opening session
* closed session to follow exchange, remain in closed sessions until impasse is reached
* unlimited caucuses
* each side will type up tentative agreements after each session
* no recording devices will be used
* tentative agreements will be signed off as they arise at each session, but the final
agreement will be a total package
* no formal news releases unless issued jointly until impasse, however the County will
respond to specific inquiries if so requested—general understanding that this bargain will
not take place in the media, but across the table
Each side exchanged initial proposals and explained rationale for requests, then broke for
a caucus. Motion (Olson, Jacobson)to go into closed session per WI Stat. 19.85 (1) c and e for
continuing labor negotiations with the LAW union. Roll call vote: all aye; moved into closed
session at 2:45. Moved (Giese, Speer) and approved to come out of closed session at 3:15 p.m.
Discussion regarding the newest compensation plan for non-represented employees.
Kathan explained the working documents regarding comparable Wisconsin county rates and
phasing-in any grid modifications over a three-year time period. It was determined that the
Committee would review the issue at its next meeting and prepare documentation for the County
Board. Moved (Jacobson, Speer) and approved to adjourn at 4:20 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Mary Louise Olson, Secretary
