Commissioners flag personnel‑committee change to overtime policy; item not on agenda
Summary
A personnel‑committee change to section 4(j)(2) on overtime—removing holidays from hours counted for overtime—prompted several commissioners to seek a role‑wide agenda placement; the change was passed through the committee but has not yet been scheduled for full commission action.
Several commissioners raised concern about a personnel‑committee vote to change section 4(j)(2) on overtime calculations, a change one commissioner described as having "sent shock waves throughout law enforcement and EMS." The specific wording change reported in the personnel committee minutes reads: "Holidays will not count as time worked for overtime calculations."
Commissioners asked when the change would be placed on the commission agenda so that affected parties could attend; one commissioner said the personnel committee had already voted to change the wording and sought clarity on when full commission consideration would occur. The meeting chair said the commission chair controls agenda placement and that the item is not on the work‑session agenda that night.
No commission vote was taken at the work session; commissioners requested the item be scheduled so interested parties—including law enforcement and EMS personnel—could attend and comment.
Clarifying details: the item appears in personnel committee minutes (packet page 11) and the exact sentence being changed was read aloud in the meeting.
