Kittitas County board backs auditor's reclassification plan; HR to formalize with MOU
Summary
Auditor Bryan Elliott told commissioners that restructuring in his finance division requires upgrading an Accounting Assistant II to Accounting Assistant III; the board expressed support and HR Director Jeanne Killgore will present an MOU to the Courthouse Union to formalize the change.
At the June 10 HR study session, Auditor Bryan Elliott explained that a recent restructure in the Auditor's Office finance division has shifted duties and responsibilities for an Accounting Assistant II, making the position's work more consistent with an Accounting Assistant III.
The board expressed support for the reclassification. HR Director Jeanne Killgore told the commissioners she will bring an MOU to formalize the change with the Courthouse Union at the next HR study session.
Why it matters: Reclassifications change job duties, pay range and bargaining-unit considerations. Elliott described the request as an operational necessity following internal restructuring; the board did not record a formal vote at the meeting but signaled agreement to proceed to bargaining and formal documentation.
No dollar amounts, an effective date, or an explicit vote tally were recorded in the minutes; the matter will be advanced through an MOU with the union.
