Rondeau, Vice-Chair Dear Committee Members: This letter is written to inform you of the Bayfield County Personnel Committee Meeting scheduled for Thursday, November 21, 2002 at 4:00 p.m., in the County Board Room of the Bayfield County Courthouse, Washburn, Wisconsin. The agenda for this meeting is as follows: AGENDA 1. Call to Order; 2. Motion Regarding Minutes of October 17, 2002 Personnel Committee Meeting; 3. Direct Deposit Update 4. Establish new position of Clerk III for Veteran’s Service and Emergency Government Offices. Currently the Emergency Government Office is without clerical support and the Clerk in the Veteran’s Service Office will likely become full-time in the Register of Deeds Office, leaving a vacancy in the Veteran’s Service Office. It is proposed that a full-time employee be hired to work ½ time in the Emergency Government and ½ time in the Veteran’s Service Office. The two offices would share a secretary’s office so that both offices would be staffed at all times. Due to the range of responsibilities, it is proposed that this position be classified as a Clerk III for payroll purposes. This position was budgeted at this level in the 2003 budget. The starting wage for a Clerk III in 2003 would be: $14.01. The 18 month rate is $15.12. It is our hope to have someone on board by early to mid-December to provide for some overlap with existing personnel. We will be creating a combined job description and working Office of the Bayfield County Administrator Mark Abeles-Allison Page 2 of 3 Personnel Committee Agenda 117 East Fifth Street ▪ Washburn, WI 54891 ▪ markaa@bayfieldcounty.org Phone 715-373-6181 ▪ FAX 715-373-6183 with both department heads to determine how the position will be shared between the two departments. The current Veteran Service Officer Secretary is a Clerk III,. The current Emergency Government Position is a Clerk I. I recommend that this position go to a Clerk III. 5. Personnel Policy Update: There are currently nine sections to our Personnel Policy Manual. Over the next several months, I would like to review these with you and make recommendations on modifications. The first three sections are attached here. I would like to suggest changes to the third section entitled “Responsibility for Personnel Administration”. I have put marks next to sections that I think should be modified. The modifications should include the County Administrator in these processes. Prior to approving changes to individual sections I recommend we finish reviewing the entire project. 6.
