AUGUST 21, 2017 <br /> <br />Board members present: Chairman Paul Jewell; Vice-Chairman Laura <br />Osiadacz; and Commissioner Obie O’Brien. <br /> <br />Others: Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board; Jill Scheffer, Event <br />Center Director; Lisa Young, Human Resource Director; and Greg <br />Zempel, Prosecutor/Fair Board Member. <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETING FAIR WORKERS EVENT CENTER <br /> <br />At 1:00 p.m. Chairman Jewell opened a Special Meeting to discuss a <br />request for temporary labor for the Event Center/Fair Workers. <br /> <br />Jill Scheffer, Event Center Director, explained there was a <br />substantial need for additional work to be done at the Event Center <br />and would like the Board to authorize her to hire an extra 4-5 <br />employee’s and allow them to begin working 8 days prior to the <br />regular starting date for temporary Fair workers. Their current <br />Staff has been working a lot of overtime and they have most likely <br />gone over budget at this point. She indicated they should have <br />approximately $12,000.00 left over in their Professional Services <br />fund to help offset the additional costs. She said she’d like the <br />temporary employees to begin work as soon as possible. Although they <br />have filled most of the other positions at the Fair, they are still <br />in need of custodial workers. She has been working with HR on a <br />master list of temporary/seasonal positions and after this year they <br />will have a better idea on the true needs. <br /> <br />The Board supported Ms. Scheffer’s request. Lisa Young, Human <br />Resource Director said the employees would have their orientation <br />with HR tomorrow and their first day of work would be on Wednesday. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 1:21 p.m. <br /> <br />KITTITAS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />CLERK OF THE BOARD KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Julie Kjorsvik Paul Jewell, Chairman <br />
