Trustees schedule review of job descriptions; director outlines union vs. non-union process
Summary
The personnel committee will review all job descriptions and present them to the board in July. The director explained that changes to union positions must go through collective bargaining, while non-union changes are recommendations to her office; trustees discussed templates and redline versions to guide review.
The Board of Trustees agreed to have the personnel committee review all staff job descriptions and return a cleaned and redlined set for the board to consider at its July meeting.
At the meeting the director explained the review process: union-covered positions (including some assistant and clerk roles) are governed by collective bargaining, so any proposed changes would come through union negotiation channels and then to the director; non-union positions would be revised by staff and submitted as recommendations to the director’s office. She offered to share a template of category headers and a preferred format to make comparative review easier.
Trustees asked for both clean and redline versions to help speed review, and agreed the personnel committee would meet to coordinate a consolidated review. The director enumerated job classifications on the record: Amy (assistant director/tech services), Ryan and Dan (principal clerks), Teresa and Nancy (library aide I, part-time), Robin (library aide II, non-union), and John (maintenance, union). Trustees also discussed whether positions that split hours across town functions (previously shared roles) warranted separate descriptions.
What happens next: personnel committee to schedule meetings, use a common template and circulate redline and clean versions for trustee review in July. Union-change recommendations will follow collective-bargaining procedures when applicable.
