The Board provided <br />direction to allow reclassified staff to maintain their exempt PTO accrual rate until the non-exempt PTO schedule <br />catches up to them. <br />Director Killgore requested further direction regarding the FLSA classification for an employee who is dually <br />employed by the Prosecutor ’s Office and the Coroner ’s Office. Reclassifying the employee to non-exempt will <br />impact their ability to work in both departments. The Board provided direction to allow the employee to maintain <br />their exempt status in 2025 as their individual wage will meet the exempt salary threshold. <br />DISCUSSION/DECISION – AOC CYBER ATTACK <br />Director Killgore summarized that the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) suffered a cyber security breach <br />last week that shut many of their systems down. The issue may not be resolved for several weeks. Director <br />Killgore advised the Board that some staff were sent home last week while systems were down and alternative <br />workflows had not yet been identified. The Board requested more information about the number of hours that <br />staff were required to use PTO during that week. Director Killgore will gather that information and bring it back <br />to a future meeting for further discussion. <br />REQUEST TO APPROVE SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY AND <br />MISSIONSQUARE RETIREMENT FOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN ADMINISTRATION <br />This item was tabled to another meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />
