Commissioners approve higher-duty pay for interim HR director; executive session yields staff directions on personnel items
Summary
During the Jan. 15 Human Resources meeting, commissioners approved a prosecuting attorney office request to grant higher-duty pay to a senior HR generalist serving as interim HR director and later entered executive session for multiple personnel items, emerging with no action on item 3 and direction for staff to proceed on items 4–6.
The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 15 approved a higher-duty pay request to name a senior HR generalist as interim HR director while the HR director leads beginning Jan. 23.
A representative of the prosecuting attorney's office introduced the request; the recording also referenced prosecuting attorney Stanley Mortensen as the office lead, though Mortensen was not present. Commissioner 3 moved to approve the higher-duty pay request "as presented by prosecuting attorney [office]," a motion that received a second and was approved with three recorded "Aye" votes from Commissioner Eberlein, Commissioner Duncan and Chairman McAllister.
After votes on the higher-duty pay, the board discussed item 3 (a proposed step increase for adult misdemeanor probation) and agreed to consider several personnel items in executive session. A motion to go into executive session cited Idaho code as the statutory authority (transcript text: "Idaho code 74 2 0 6 1 B, 1 D, and 1 a"). The board entered executive session and later reconvened at about 11:10 a.m.
On reconvening, the board announced there was "no action on item 3" and that staff should "proceed as discussed" on items 4, 5 and 6; the meeting record did not provide additional public details on those items.
The meeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m.
