SPECIAL MEETING WAGE SURVEY COMMISSIONERS
At 1:30 p.m. Chairman Jewell opened a Special Meeting to discuss the
recent wage survey and implementation.
Chairman Jewell explained that they had a few Department Heads who
have requested the Board consider moving them to the mid-point of
their new pay scale as that is where there prior to the wage survey
implementation.
Lisa Young, HR Director reviewed her years of service and
justification of the proposal she provided the BoCC. She stated
that she is the 2nd lowest paid Department Head in the County and has
the 2nd longest tenure in the County. She explained that her
frustration is that the County has been consistently hiring
Department Heads at the midpoint and if she quit today and was
replaced the chances are very high they would bring the next
Director in at the midpoint unless they were very new in the HR
field.
Chairman Jewell reviewed other information as well as rational for
the requests on behalf of Jim Goeben, IT Director and Diana
MacKenzie, UDC Administrator.
The BoCC discussed possible options as well as potential issues such
as funding if they honored the requested changes.
Commissioner O’Brien suggested that the BoCC take time to digest the
information discussed today and re-group on Monday February 6, 2017
at 4:00 P.M., for further discussion. Chairman Jewell and
Commissioner Osiadacz were in agreement, noting that they had
another meeting they had to get to at 2:30 p.m., and felt additional
time was needed to consider the requests.
Meeting adjourned at 2:25 p.m.
