Summary

Reedsburg’s personnel committee updated the Common Council on recent dispatch staff changes, plans to align an ambulance employee handbook with the city handbook, and that members held an initial discussion about upcoming negotiations with the police union.

The Reedsburg personnel committee reported to the Common Council that it discussed staff changes at dispatch, steps to reconcile an ambulance employee handbook with the citywide personnel policies, and held its first discussion about negotiations with the police union.

A personnel committee representative said, “Max gave an update on some staff changes at dispatch and [on] his plan for working on the ambulance employee handbook and how it's gonna meld together with the city handbook,” and added that committee members had their first discussion about police union negotiations. The committee did not present any proposed contract language or bargaining positions in open session.

The council did not take formal action on staffing or collective-bargaining matters at the meeting; the personnel committee report was informational. Staff indicated the ambulance handbook work is intended to align ambulance-specific policies with the city’s personnel policies, and that negotiations with the police union are at an early stage requiring future committee work and potentially executive-session negotiation.

No funding changes, contract approvals, or labor agreements were voted on during the meeting. The personnel committee report did not specify timelines or bargaining deadlines.
