08/29/2017 MINUTES 2 <br />negotiations may prohibit frank and fair discussions; hinder free <br />flow of discussions; and risk the possibility of having the media <br />misconstrue information. <br /> <br />Paul Parmley, Teamsters representative, provided some history of the <br />Freedom Foundation’s strategy and said it’s never been constituent <br />driven but a mission to defund organized labor. He questioned who <br />was providing their funding and said the Board should not compare it <br />with the State’s negotiation process. <br /> <br />Brad Sweet, Teamsters in Lincoln County, said he has been a Union <br />representative for 7 years and he felt they’ve always had a good <br />working relationship with their Board of County Commissioners <br />however, from his prospective the Board considered the proposal <br />without receiving input from them prior to adopting the Resolution. <br />He indicated they have a great flow of information with their <br />membership, and as far as he knows there’s no one in favor of what <br />was done. <br /> <br />Sheriff Gene Dana said he could see the financial aspects being an <br />educational piece for the public, but the internal operational parts <br />of their office is different. <br /> <br />Auditor Jerry Pettit said he believes in transparency and commented <br />on how there may be different structures between Counties. <br /> <br />Chairman Jewell thanked everyone for attending and said he <br />anticipated the Board scheduling another meeting in the near future. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 12:25 p.m. <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Julie Kjorsvik Paul Jewell, Chairman <br />
