08/03/2026 MINUTES 3 responsibilities, and chain of command. Vice-Chairman Osiadacz gave a brief overview of the duties and expectations of the LTAC Clerk position. She explained that the role includes serving as Clerk for LTAC, CLTAC, and the Dispute Board. She further stated that the position is heavily involved in the contract process and can require significant coordination due to the number of CLTAC members, who are City Council members serving in those roles in addition to their full-time positions. Chairman Wachsmith stated that he appreciated the open and honest discussion, but was not completely convinced of the transition at this time; however, he was willing to consider a trial period to determine whether the duties could be successfully managed within the BoCC Office. Jodi Larsen, Office Administrator, stated that Staff would be meeting later that day to further discuss the details and expectations of the role. Vice-Chairman Osiadacz requested that Amy McGuffin, Chamber CEO, participate in the discussion, given her extensive involvement with the process. Vice-Chairman Osiadacz also noted that Zack DeHaven, Budget and Finance Director, advised her that the employee who previously performed the LTAC Clerk duties, who is currently out on extended leave, is a union employee and retains the right to resume those duties upon their return, if they choose.
