At 10:00 a.m. Chairman Osiadacz opened a Special Meeting to meet
with the Management Team’s Executive Committee.
Mike Hougardy reported that at the last Management Team meeting,
they voted to support the proposed EEO & Reasonable Accommodations
policies that were provided by the Human Resources Department.
He said the Management Team has been working together on refining
their Strategic Plan to become more in alignment with the Board of
Commissioners. They will be holding a half-day retreat in January
and will be working on project assignments.
Another project they are beginning to work on is putting together an
Operating Manual. It will be a resource for new Elected Officials
and Department Heads and include information such as what the
Management Team does, their processes, etc. Jeanne and Julie will
begin working on the manual together.
Other Business: Mr. Hougardy said it was the Executive Committees
position to not renew the contract with Phil Backlund. He said the
Management Team appreciates the work Phil has done with them and
they are in the best shape they’ve ever been in. There’s been an
increase of engagement and enthusiasm at the meetings, but they
believe it’s time they move forward on their own. Phil said he
appreciated the opportunity for the experience in working the
Management Team and felt they have made a great deal of progress in
the last 6-months.
