Staff seeks reclassification for public works employee; board schedules executive session
Summary
Polk County staff requested reclassification of a public works employee effective June 1, with an estimated 12-month fiscal impact of about $5,500; the board also announced it would meet in executive session under statutory authority.
At the May 20 meeting, Mr. Matt Hawkins presented a request to reclassify James Vincent in the public works department from Bridge Carpenter I to Bridge Carpenter II, effective June 1. Hawkins said Vincent has met the requirements for the higher classification and “has recently acquired his crane operator's license,” noting the departmental budget can absorb the change. Hawkins estimated the fiscal impact for a 12‑month period at approximately $5,500, including PERS contributions.
The transcript does not record a formal vote or final board action on the reclassification within the provided segments. Board members expressed no public objection in the recorded text; Hawkins concluded the presentation and thanked the board.
Following the personnel discussion, the chair announced the board would meet in executive session pursuant to ord. 192.660 sub 2D to conduct operations with persons designated by the governing body to carry on legal discussion. The transcript segments provided end during the chair's announcement and do not include the executive session’s subject matter or its outcome.
