North Coupe board accepts resignation, hires Shannon Arnold as executive director and moves payroll to ADP
Summary
The board accepted the verbal resignation of longtime member/operator John Brman, approved sending a letter thanking him, unanimously hired Shannon Arnold as executive director (with a start date aligned to payroll conversion), and approved a payroll transition from the city to ADP.
The North Coupe Sanitary District board accepted a verbal resignation from longtime board member and former operator John Brman, who told staff he was stepping down immediately for health reasons. The board voted to accept the resignation and moved to send a letter of recognition thanking Brman for his service.
Separately, the personnel committee interviewed three finalists for an executive-director position and recommended Shannon Arnold. The board moved, seconded and unanimously approved hiring Shannon Arnold as the new executive director. Board members discussed onboarding: staff indicated the payroll conversion to ADP means the district will transition payroll tracking starting on the 23rd (staff and city handoff dates were described in the meeting), and the new hire’s start date will be coordinated with that payroll conversion.
Staff reported that March 31 will be the last payroll run by the city and ADP will take over payroll administration per the district’s plan; staff are compiling employee enrollments and deductions for Minnesota Deferred Comp and unemployment systems as part of the changeover. The board also discussed interim coverage and orientation: staff will provide a plant tour and operational briefing for the new director before full transition.
No public comment was recorded on personnel items; the board closed personnel business after the hire vote.
