Committee authorizes moonlighting policy for county employees

Alpena County Personnel Committee · August 5, 2025

Summary

Alpena County’s Personnel Committee recommended a moonlighting policy requiring hired staff (not elected officials) to disclose outside work that could create conflicts, and authorized HR and the County Administrator to draft the employee form and handbook language.

The Personnel Committee on Aug. 5 recommended approval of a Moonlighting Policy aimed at managing conflicts when county employees hold second jobs.

County Administrator Jesse Osmer said some county employees have secondary employment and in some cases those roles — for example contracting with or working for another unit of government within the county — could create conflicts. The committee emphasized the policy would apply to hired staff, not elected officials. Commissioner John Kozlowski moved and Commissioner Todd Britton supported recommending the policy; the committee carried the motion and authorized the County Administrator and Human Resources to create the required employee disclosure form and handbook language (Action Item #4).

The minutes do not include the policy text, the process for reviewing disclosures, or any enforcement provisions; those details were left to HR and the administrator to draft with final approval anticipated from the county attorney.
