TIME LIMIT) <br />None. <br />REQUEST TO APPROVE MOU BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY AND TEAMSTERS 760 (CORRECTIONS NON- <br />UNIFORMED) TO RECOGNIZE AND CLASSIFY DEPUTY FIRE MARSHAL <br />HR Director Killgore presented the Board with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to recognize and <br />classify the new Deputy Fire Marshal position within the Teamsters 760 (Corrections Non-Uniformed) union. <br />Commissioner Osiadacz moved to approve the MOU. Commissioner Wachsmith seconded the motion. <br />Motion was passed; 2:0. <br />DISCUSSION/DECISION – EXEMPT SALARY THRESHOLD <br />Director Killgore summarized that each year Labor & Industries sets a minimum wage threshold for FLSA <br />exempt employees. The 2023 wage threshold required a wage adjustment for six exempt County staff, or a <br />reclassification to non-exempt status. The Board directed the employees to remain exempt and their salaries <br />adjusted to the 2023 exempt salary threshold. <br />DISCUSSION/DECISION – SALARY SURVEY <br />Director Killgore explained that in past salary survey years, the Board has signed a resolution granting them <br />the authority to defer January compensation adjustments until the conclusion of the salary survey. She <br />inquired if the Board would be interested in this option again. The Board expressed interest in reviewing the <br />completed salary survey data and having the discretion to implement any salary adjustments back to January. <br />Director Killgore will draft a resolution and bring it to the next HR Study Session for Board review and <br />approval. <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br />None. <br />CONCLUDED <br />The meeting was concluded at 10:20 AM.
