REGULAR MEETING COMMISSIONERS
1) Call to Order – 10:03 AM
2) Staffing Discussions/Requests
CDS – GIS Planning Specialist – Interim CDS Director
Hansen presented his request to reclassify a Planner II
to GIS Planning Specialist. He indicated it would be
partial cost recovery – about 35%, and that he needs to
have a new fee schedule approved for 2016, which is
scheduled for 9/28/15. The Board asked him to table the
request until November.
Solid Waste – Maintenance – Board Direction – SW Director
Johnson presented a request to reclassify one of her
employees to Office Manager as she is tasked with the
additional Maintenance-related duties. She said another
option would be to work something out with KVEC staff.
The Board asked that she table the request until the next
HR Study Session since Commissioner O’Brien was not
present, and suggested that he speak with KVEC Director
Webb before bringing it back to the Board.
Public Works – Leave Accrual Adjustment – PW Director
Cook presented a request to return an employee’s vacation
accrual to 17 hours per month; the employee took a
supervisory position and lost accrual by going from the
Road Union to non-Union. The Board asked Director Cook
to bring back a list of concerns from the team with
justification for the adjustment.
Public Works – Planning Manager – Director Cook discussed
his ideas on hiring a Planning Manager that would oversee
transportation, water resources, and the Flood Control
Zone District. The Board asked that he bring this back to
a future meeting.
3) Exempt Overtime/MOU Discussion – Sheriff Dana was present
to discuss the use of exempt staff to take overtime details
when non-exempt union employees are not available. The
Board expressed concern about overworking the Command
Staff. The Board asked that this discussion be brought
back to the next HR Study Session with the County Auditor.
4) WCIF Master Application – Request to Obtain Signature from
Board Chair – HR Director Young asked for Board approval to
be able to seek the Chairman’s signature once the WCIF
Master Applications for 2016 were complete. The Board
approved.
5) HR Updates – No updates at this time.
6) Other business – None.
