Director Cook answered <br />that they would perform maintenance/cleaning duties and participate in snow removal. The Board <br />approved the request and directed HR to begin recruitment for a full-time Laborer. <br />DISCUSSION/DECISION – AIRPORT POSITION RECLASSIFICATION <br />HR Director Killgore provided the Board with an update to the position reclassification within the Airport <br />Department.

Director Killgore will draft an MOU and bring it to the Board <br />for formal approval at the next HR Study Session. <br />REQUEST TO APPROVE MOU BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY AND LOCAL 760 (CORRECTIONS <br />UNIFORMED) TO CORRECT WAGES <br />Director Killgore explained to the Board that the current Collective Bargaining Agreement between the <br />County and Local 760 (Corrections Uniformed) includes incorrect wages for Jail Corporals and Security <br />Officers in the years 2023 and 2024.
