Personnel Committee May 1, 2025 NARRATIVE
Item 4: The Workforce Workgroup has been meeting since April, 2024. Kellie Pederson and
Kris Kavajecz will share the results of the group’s work. The workgroup’s Goal: By April
2025, develop a set of strategies that will build Bayfield County’s capacity to attract and
retain a skilled workforce in order to provide critical services to the residents of the County
over the next 20 years.
A survey was distributed to Personnel Committee members to get their
thoughts/perceptions on the 16 strategies that the workgroup has identified. The Personnel
Committee member responses will be compared with the Workgroup’s responses at the
meeting. A summary of the presentation slides is included in the meeting packet. The next
step in the process will be for the Personnel Committee/County Board to determine which
strategies should be explored further. Below please find some more background:
=====================
Hello Bayfield County Personnel Committee Members:
In April of 2024, the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors empaneled a workgroup to address
potential challenges in maintaining a robust workforce in the face of an aging population with
nearly 40% of County staff projected to reach retirement age in the next 5 years.
Over the past 11 months, the Workforce Workgroup has been working diligently under the
following Goal: By April 2025, develop a set of strategies that will build Bayfield County’s
capacity to attract and retain a skilled workforce in order to provide critical services to the
residents of the County over the next 20 years.
To that end, the Workforce Workgroup has developed a slate of 16 strategies that could be
implemented to address this issue.
As an additional point of data, the Workforce Workgroup would like to explore your thoughts
and perceptions on the potential impact of these strategies. The following survey exercise
will give you an opportunity to rank the potential impact of each strategy against three core
criteria:
• The potential to increase the response of qualified applicants for open positions.
• The potential to enhance long-term employee satisfaction and retention.
• The potential to improve the efficiency of service provision and/or reduce long-term
workforce demand.
Using these criteria, please rate each strategy's impact using the scale provided (0-3):
• 0: No impact
• 1: Low impact
• 2: Moderate impact
• 3: High impact
PLEASE COMPLETE BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON TUESDAY, APRIL 29.
The results will be compiled and compared against the Workgroup's and shared at the Personnel
Committee Meeting on Thursday May 1st.
Item 5: A modification to the wage classification schedule is proposed. The proposed new
grade is for a combined, Emergency Management / Emergency Communication Center
Director Position. See memo attached.
Item 6: The closure of Northland College and the Chartwells meals program will result in
the county kitchen increasing senior meals from 40 to 80 per day. The Kitchen provides
meals seven days a week, 365 days a year. At present we have three staff for the kitchen.
Senior meals in February totaled 1500. Jail meals were approximately 4500 for a total of
6000 meals or an average of 200 a day. Current staffing levels are stressed when someone
is absent. We are working on this with both the Jail and Human Services. We are looking at
either an additional .5 or 1.0fte.
Item 7: March is the end of the first quarter of the year. 25% expenditures can be used as a
guide.
• General Fund: Expenditures are at 20% for this fund. Expenditures are up $160k
over 2024 at $2.79 million. Several new positions included in the 2025 budget were
added but after the new year started.
• Highway expenditures are at 25%, up $40k over last year, at $662k to date.
• Human Services is at 19%, up $90k over last year at $807k to date.
Health insurance overall is up 14% from last year or $104k over this time last year. This is
due to new positions, cost increases and the increasing number of employees on the plan.
• The end of April 2025 HR report is in the packet.

WORKFORCE
WORKGROUP
HOW DID THE WORKFORCE WORKGROUP COME ABOUT?
•January 2024:
•Data was to the County Board about the aging demographics of Bayfield County and
the impacts that are expected as a result.
•At the time, Bayfield County was on track to be the “oldest” county in WI by 2040
•This trend will likely increase need for:
•Aging Support Services
•Elder-friendly housing
•Access to Medical Services
•Transportation support
•This trend is likely to have a dramatic trend on workforce availability
WORKFORCE WORKGROUP GOAL
By Spring, 2025, develop a set of strategies
that will build Bayfield County’s capacity to
attract and retain a skilled workforce to
provide critical services to the residents of the
County over the next 20 years.

DATE: April 25, 2025
RE: Emergency Management / Dispatch Director
Bayfield and Ashland County established a two-county dispatch center in 2024 with a staff of 19.
In mid-2024 the County established the position of Dispatch Director at Grade O. After several
search extensions, a Director was hired and employed for six months. A second search was
unsuccessful.
The County approached the Bayfield County Emergency Management Director about filling this
role.
Based on the combination of unique duties into one position, a new wage grade was established
at Grade P to account for the mix of skills and responsibilities required in one position.

Other Activities:
• Participated in GenAI Training.
• Completed Department of Justice Audit related to Criminal Background Checks.
• Participated in a PSAP Board meeting.
• Participated in a Regional HR meeting, virtually. Primary topic was a legal update and legislative items
that are being considered that impact HR.
• Participated in a Department Head meeting. Presented information related to volunteers.
• Listened to a presentation by NeoGov, which is the software company we use for our recruitment,
onboard and performance management. Learned a couple of new ways that this software could be
used to create efficiencies.
• Listened to a webinar by our labor attorneys related to policies/procedures recommended for
volunteers. In essence, volunteers should basically be treated as employees when it comes to
background checks and training. Compensation was also a highlight of this discussion. A volunteer
cannot receive any form of monetary compensation.
• Participated in an audit of our 2024 worker’s compensation claims with the WI Department of Safety
and Professional Services.
• Participated in a Windows11 training facilitated by IT.
• With 20 actual work days this month, having 34 interviews, 9 employees to onboard, and roughly 6 to
offboard, that took up a significant amount of my time.
• Four additional long-term employees announced their retirements this month, but will be reflected
in a future report when the retirements actually occur.
