Chester County Salary Board approves reclassifications tied to compensation study
Summary
The Chester County Salary Board on April 8 approved position reclassifications connected to a recent compensation study and separately approved routine position changes; the board also adopted the agenda and approved March 25 minutes. No public comments were received.
Chester County — The Chester County Salary Board met April 8 and approved a set of position reclassifications tied to a county compensation study and a separate set of routine position changes.
Board chair Josh Maxwell called the meeting to order and introduced members Marion Moskowitz, Commissioner Eric Rowe and Nick Cherubino. The board first approved the March 25 minutes and adopted the meeting agenda by voice vote, with no opposition recorded.
During new business, a board member asked what distinguishes the reclassifications listed under item 8a from the position changes in item 8b, noting both appeared to be job reclassifications. Mr. Washburger, speaking to the board, said, "The reclassifications in item 8a are related to the compensation study. There were matters that we needed to do a little bit more research on after the board approved the vast majority of these two weeks ago." He added that the other position changes under 8b are "just standard position changes that we have periodically throughout the year."
A board member queried item 13 in 8b and whether it involved a title change only or also a compensation change. Mr. Washburger replied the item "is a position in the Clerk of Court's office, and it is, kinda equalized in it, if you will, with the prothonotary's office, because they handle the same, generally the same type of things," and that a pay change was involved for that title.
The board moved and seconded approval of the reclassifications in item 8a and of the position changes in item 8b; members voiced "aye" and the motions passed with no recorded opposition. During both the agenda-item public comment period and the later non-agenda public-comment period, the board reported no members of the public stepped to the podium and no online hands were raised.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
