COMMISSIONERS’ MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />BOCC CONFERENCE ROOM <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />HR STUDY SESSION <br />STAFFING DISCUSSION/DECISION – PUBLIC HEALTH <br />Public Health Administrator Lamb reminded the Board of the approaching retirement of the Community <br />Health Supervisor, and proposed that this staffing change presented an opportunity to streamline the <br />Public Health office structure. Rather than fill the upcoming Community Health Supervisor vacancy, <br />Administrator Lamb proposed that the position’s duties be absorbed by the Health Officer, Assessment <br />Coordinator I, and the Administrative Supervisor. With the additional responsibilities, the Health Officer <br />would increase his FTE from .2 to .3, the Assessment Coordinator I would be promoted to an <br />Assessment Coordinator II, and the Office Administrator would be reclassified to reflect greater <br />oversight and involvement in Clinic operations while still maintaining her involvement with permitting. <br />The proposal would bring their 2019 budget closer to what was actually adopted prior to the 2.7% CPI <br />adjustment to wage scales, and additional savings from the proposed restructuring would be seen in <br />2020. The Board expressed approval of the proposed changes. Administrator Lamb explained that the <br />Community Health Supervisor’s retirement date, and therefore the effective date of the proposed <br />changes, are not finalized yet. Administrator Lamb will come back to the Board when she has a <br />recommended effective date for her proposed changes. <br />REQUEST TO APPROVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH LOCAL 760 CORRECTIONS - <br />UNIFORMED <br />HR Director Young presented the Board with a Memorandum of Understanding to move two Corrections <br />Corporals and one Corrections Lieutenant to step 3 in their wage scale. She explained that during union <br />negotiations, the addition of a 3rd step in the wage scale was agreed upon for the positions of Corporal, <br />Sergeant and Lieutenant. No discussion transpired regarding the impact to those employees who had <br />already completed two years of service in their respective positions prior to 1/1/2019. The union <br />requested that the three employees who surpassed two years of service in their positions be placed on <br />step 3 of their wage scale effective 1/1/2019. Commissioner Wachsmith moved to approve the <br />Memorandum of Understanding. Commissioner Osiadacz seconded the motion. The motion was <br />approved 3:0, and the Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the Board. <br />APPROVAL OF PAF’S <br />Director Young presented PAFs to be signed by the Board. Commissioners Wright, Wachsmith and <br />Osiadacz approved and signed the PAFs. <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br />Commissioner Wachsmith asked about the status of the wage survey – Director Young reported that she <br />is collecting the data and so far it appears that the new comps will have an impact on the numbers. He <br />also brought up for discussion the option for BOCC staff to switch to the Alternate Workweek. Budget & <br />Finance Manager Pless and Director Young provided information regarding why that schedule was <br />removed and provided some alternatives for the Board to consider.
