COMMISSIONERS’ MINUTES <br />KITTITAS COUNTY, WASHINGTON <br />BOCC CONFERENCE ROOM <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />HR STUDY SESSION <br /> <br />TUESDAY 10:00 AM 1/28/2020 <br /> <br />Board members present: Brett Wachsmith, Laura Osiadacz, Cory Wright <br />Others: Patti Johnson, Greg Zempel, Chris Horner, Member of the Public, Lisa Young, Jeanne Killgore <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br />The meeting was called to order at 10:00 AM. <br />REQUEST CHAIR SIGNATURE ON OSHA 300A <br />HR Director Young requested Board Signature on 2019’s OSHA 300A, an annual document summarizing <br />the previous year’s recordable workplace injuries. She explained that the OSHA 300A is required to be <br />posted annually from February 1 to April 30. Commissioner Osiadacz moved to approve chair signature <br />on the OSHA 300A summary document. Commissioner Wright seconded the motion and requested that <br />HR Director Young provide additional workplace injury data, such as the TIR, within the next couple of <br />months and periodically moving forward. Motion was approved; 3:0 and the OSHA 300A document was <br />signed by Chairman Wachsmith. Director Young will post the document and provide injury updates to <br />the Board every couple of months during the year. <br />REQUEST APPROVAL OF PAF FOR ADJUSTMENT TO FLSA STATUS <br />HR Director Young presented the Board with a PAF to change the FLSA status of a Public Works <br />employee from non-exempt to exempt. She explained that in early 2018 Public Works Director Cook <br />approved the change in FLSA status, but no administrative action was taken and the update was not <br />implemented. Director Young added that she performed an audit and determined that the employee is <br />eligible for exempt status. She requested that the Board approve the employee’s change to exempt <br />FLSA status effective 1/1/2018, when the change was originally discussed and approved by the Public <br />Works Director. She also explained that there would be a slight adjustment to the employee’s vacation <br />balance due to the different accrual rates between non-exempt and exempt employees. The Board <br />approved the status change and signed the PAF to adjust the employee’s FLSA status to exempt, <br />effective 1/1/2018. <br />DISCUSSION/DECISION – PSA WITH WALLACE WILKINS <br />Director Young summarized that late last year the Board opted to postpone meeting with Wallace <br />Wilkins and requested that she and Prosecutor Zempel look into the ability for group meetings to take <br />place within executive session. Prosecutor Zempel presented a letter to the Board containing his <br />findings regarding the ability of the Board to meet with a consultant for team improvement and
