Sioux County commissioners approve 3% pay raise, adopt county ADA policy and set administrative appointments
Summary
Across five monthly sessions (Jan–Jun 2013) the Sioux County Board of Commissioners approved routine claims and payroll, gave employees a 3% raise for 2013, adopted the county Americans with Disabilities Act policy, and completed several administrative actions including appointing a chairman, designating the county newspaper and bank depository.
The Sioux County Board of Commissioners approved several administrative and personnel measures during meetings held January through June 2013 in Harrison, Nebraska.
Commissioner Kevin Lotton moved, and Commissioner Joshua Skavdahl seconded, to give county employees a 3% raise for 2013; the motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded as Lotton, yes; Skavdahl, yes. The board also approved the county’s General Fund claims and payroll for each monthly session, which included a range of vendor payments and payroll totals reported by County Clerk Michelle Zimmerman.
The board adopted the Sioux County Americans with Disabilities Act policy by motion (recorded roll-call vote Lotton, yes; Downer, yes; Skavdahl, yes). Other recurring administrative actions included swearing in Joshua Skavdahl as county commissioner and appointing him chairman for 2013; designating the Crawford Clipper/Harrison Sun as the county’s official newspaper; and approving Security First Bank as the county depository for 2013. The board also updated the Sioux County Grievance Committee, replacing Laura Woodrum with JoElla Norman.
County Clerk Michelle Zimmerman filed monthly fee reports and raised possible revisions to vacation and sick leave policies, which the board scheduled for further review at a subsequent meeting. The board approved the 2012 audit/financial statement prepared by Contryman & Associates and handled transfers and fund amendments as presented in public hearings where required.
The meetings included standard procedural business such as reading the Open Meetings Law notice, roll call votes on motions, and scheduled adjournments; the board set future meeting dates and announced administrative events like the County Treasurer’s public tax sale date and insurance contract approvals.
The board closed each monthly session with the next meeting date noted; the series of meetings ran through June 2013 with no additional statewide or external approvals required for the administrative items noted.
