KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON
BOCC CONFERENCE ROOM
REGULAR MEETING
HR STUDY SESSION
TUESDAY 10:00 AM MAY 8, 2018
Board members present: Laura Osiadacz, Obie O’Brien
Others: Elishia Harvill, Lisa Young, Jeanne Killgore
1. CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 10:00 AM.
2. STAFFING DISCUSSION/DECISION – PROSECUTOR – ASSISTANT OA
HR Director Young presented an overview of the Prosecutor’s Office proposal to create an exempt
Assistant Office Administrator position. The proposed Assistant Office Administrator would support the
Office Administrator by taking on some of the supervisory and administrative workload. The creation of
an Assistant Office Administrator would eliminate the Legal Secretary III (LS III) position, and the current
LS III would be reclassified to the Assistant Office Administrator position.
HR Director Young and Office Administrator Harvill provided a draft job description, two wage scale
options, funding sources (not “one-time” and supported by Judy), and performance
metrics/accomplishments of the Office Administrator and LS III. The preference of the Prosecutor is to
implement Option A and they have located funds to do so. Funding includes a combination of 3/10, VW
and the General Fund. Use of General Fund dollars is supported by the amount of work the LS III does to
assist non-Prosecutor departments with Records Management and Public Records Requests. Both
Board members had concerns about the impact on the General Fund, and requested a breakdown of
how much each fund (3/10, VW and General Fund) would contribute. There was also concern expressed
over past decreases in VW funding. Commissioner Osiadacz inquired about Option B. Based on the
information provided, Commissioner Osiadacz stated that Option B would have the least amount of
impact on the General Fund, and she would prefer that. Commissioner O’Brien and Commissioner
Osiadacz requested that Administrator Harvill gather more specific data regarding the funding options,
and suggested that she figure out a way to fund for this proposal without impacting the General Fund.
