Summary

County staff requested two employee reclassifications: Matt Wallace from heavy equipment operator to lead heavy equipment operator (estimated fiscal impact ~$7,000 annually) and Devin Bindram from Health Services Supervisor 2 to Supervisor 3 (estimated fiscal impact ~$4,000 annually). No formal board vote was recorded in the transcript.

Human-resources-related reclassification requests were presented to the Buchanan Board of Commissioners on Sept. 17 but the meeting transcript does not record a formal board vote on the items.

Mr. Hawkins (personnel/HR representative) asked the board to reclassify Matt Wallace in Public Works from heavy equipment operator to lead heavy equipment operator, effective Sept. 1. Hawkins said the change reflects supervisory duties and project leadership the employee has assumed; staff estimated the 12-month fiscal impact, including PERS contributions, at about $7,000.

Hawkins also asked the board to reclassify Devin Bindram in Health Services from a Health Services Supervisor 2 to a Health Services Supervisor 3, again effective Sept. 1, citing organizational changes and an increased supervisory caseload. Staff estimated the 12-month fiscal impact at roughly $4,000 if approved.

The transcript records the presentation of these requests and the fiscal estimates but does not record a motion, second or vote on either reclassification during this meeting. The items therefore remain requests on the record pending any subsequent action or formal vote.
