Feuerhelm stated he could perform the duties at this time & train another person when they became available. No action taken. 14) Set Wages for Civilian Jail Staff A/C J. Miller explained that this is a new type position & the position description would need to be reviewed & approved by the Law Enforcement Committee. She indicated it could then be reviewed by Human Resources or Carlson/Dettman to get recommendation on where to place the position on the new compensation & classification grid approved to go in effect in 2015.

Administration recommends requiring that be revised to have retirees pay 100% of the premium beginning in 2016. She added that there are approx. 3 retirees currently on the County’s insurance plan. Committee discussed changing the effective date & if there was adequate time to notify those who would be affected. T.

6) Increase Environmental Health Clerk form 35 to 40 hrs/wk & Eliminate .657 Public Health Secretary Position PH Director S. Galoff explained that by increasing the hours for the one position would allow the department to realize some internal efficiencies & eliminate the other part time position. Motion by B. Schroeder/J. Ross to increase the Environmental Health Clerk from 35 to 40 hrs/wk & eliminate the vacant .657 Public Health Secretary position on the staffing plan; motion carried unanimously. 7) Separate Home Care LPN & WIC Aide Positions on PCPH Staffing Plan PH Director S. Galoff explained that the two positions were initially two separate positions. Over time the duties of the part time WIC Aide position was taken on by the individual currently in the LPN position. That individual no longer desires to take on those duties. She added that the WIC Program is a federally funded program & as such the costs associated with the WIC Aide position are paid by the WIC grant. Committee discussed whether to allow individuals the option to take on or resign from duties of such positions at their own discretion. Motion by J. Kosin/K.

Ross to approve 1.0 FTE CCS Service Facilitator (masters’ level), 1.0 FTE Human Services Worker, & increase 0.4 FTE Psychiatric Nurse to 1.0 FTE Psychiatric Nurse subject to the availability of state & federal funding sources. Motion carried unanimously. 9) Increase Human Services Dept. Personnel Staff by 1.0 FTE Social Worker HS Director R. Schmidt explained the need for the position to address foster care licensing. Committee asked whether it would be more prudent to contract for the position as opposed to hiring an individual. R. Schmidt responded by saying that in his experience that route can actually cost more. Motion by B. Schroeder/J. Ross to defer action on item & direct HS Director to research cost alternatives to contract for the position; motion carried unanimously. 10) Changes to Land Management Dept. Staffing Plans LM Director A. Pichotta explained the proposed changes to the various staffing plans. He added that overall it reduces the staffing plan by 1 FTE position. Motion by K. Snow/J. Ross to approve the staffing plans for the Land Management Dept.; motion carried unanimously. 11) Additional Staff for Sheriff’s Dept. J. Matthys-Chief Deputy Sheriff explained that in an effort to separate Jail & Dispatch center operations the


Sheriff requested an additional four civilian personnel for the jail or dispatch center. He added that as personnel are hired to replace those retiring or moving on to other employment they would be replaced by personnel specifically for either dispatch or jail. This is part of the process to separate jail & dispatch, which when separated cannot adequately be staffed with current staff levels. Motion by J. Ross/J.

They determined to leave annual evaluations as the standard throughout the new proposed grid to be granted a step increase & would review other alternatives at some point later on. Corp. Counsel B.

Motion carried unanimously.

6) Carlson/Dettmann Comp & Class Study, Step Pay Plan, Authorize Implementation

7) Industrial Development Com. Additional Funding

Land Management Director A. Pichotta informed Committee that the department would have an employee retiring in July & that they were revising job descriptions & reorganizing the department to include a new office manager position. Motion by K. Snow/D. Reis to approve & authorize the proposed changes to Land Management Dept. position descriptions as written; motion carried unanimously.

8) Land Management Position Description – Office Manager


HS Operations Manager T. Billeter explained that the request was to approve a training event in Anaheim California for four Human Services employees. Also that the costs for the training would be covered by a grant & County funds would not be needed. Motion by D. Reis/B. Schroeder to approve Human Services Dept. employees out-of-state training; motion carried unanimously.

9) Human Services Out-of-State Training

Chief Deputy J. Matthys explained that the training requested was for two department employees to attend a DARE officer training in South Dakota. He added that the training itself would be of no cost to the County. Motion by D. Reis/B. Schroeder to approve out-of-state training request for Sheriff’s Dept.; motion carried unanimously.

10) Sheriff’s Dept. Out-of-State Training

Chief Deputy J. Matthys explained that an employee would be retiring & the department desired to revise the job description to allow the position to be filled by civilian rather than law enforcement personnel. A/C J. Miller asked the Committee to consider whether to place the new hires discussed at this meeting on the current pay scale structure or the new one adopted today. The Committee consensus was that new hires should not be placed on new pay scale structure until that legislation is actually adopted by the full County Board & is implemented in 2015. Motion by K. Snow/J. Aubart to approve & authorize the proposed changes to Sheriff’s Dept. position description for Office Secretary as written; motion carried unanimously.

11) Sheriff’s Dept. Position Description – Office Secretary

County Clerk J. Feuerhelm requested that each file/parcel be addressed separately beginning with File #422 in Village of Spring Valley. He recommended that the Committee take action to defer action on this tax deed to allow for the 90 day time period for the former owner to repurchase the property. He added that the tax deed was taken on 4/17/2014 & the 90 days would not expire until approx. July 17th. He stated the purpose the ad was published before this time expired was because that the former owner on both of these tax deed parcels is deceased. But upon further counsel with the Corp. Counsel Office this fact does not negate the law. Motion by D. Reis/B. Schroeder to defer action on Tax Deed File #422 until meeting after July 17, 2014; motion carried unanimously. County Clerk J. Feuerhelm explained that File #421 was similar to previous parcel discussed in that the Tax Deed was filed on 4/17/2014. He stated that there is an additional concern in that two bids were received for the parcel. One of the bidders submitted cashier’s check as stipulated by advertisement published & the other bidder submitted a personal business check. He explained that though the advertisement did require this the Finance Committee is the final authority on what bids are accepted & the law does not prohibit them from accepting payment via personal check or other means. Resident S. Meixner addressed the Committee stating that the ad stated that a cashier's check was to be submitted so he felt the other bid should be rejected & his bid accepted because it met all other parameters. Chairman J. Holst responded by stating the Committee reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids submitted. Motion by D. Reis/J. Kosin to defer action on Tax Deed File #421 until meeting after July 17, 2014; motion carried unanimously.

the Clerk of Court & Sheriff for each of the years 2015, 2016, 2017, & 2018;

should be more comparable to those counties in relative close proximity & of

similar size as Pierce. Committee discussed issues regarding trying to maintain

equal salaries among the elected offices other than the sheriff. Motion by J.

Kosin/K. Snow to approve increases of 1.25% to the 2014 base salary of the

Clerk of Court & Sheriff for each of the years 2015, 2016, 2017, & 2018. Further
