County discusses NEOGOV recruitment, defers EM longevity pay and conducts executive sessions
Summary
Labette County commissioners discussed potentially contracting with NEOGOV for recruitment, recorded Emergency Manager Charles Morse’s choice to defer a longevity bonus until January, and held two executive sessions to discuss confidential business financial data. Both executive session motions passed unanimously.
At its Oct. 20 meeting the Labette County Board of Commissioners discussed administrative items including a potential NEOGOV contract for recruitment, a personnel pay timing question, and held two executive sessions to review confidential business financial information.
Dispatch Director Brandy Scott met with the commissioners to discuss the possibility of contracting with NEOGOV for employee recruitment services. That discussion was advisory; no motion was recorded to bind the county to a contract during the meeting.
Emergency Manager Charles Morse raised that he is due a longevity bonus for the October pay period and asked whether payroll should split the bonus between the Health Department and Emergency Management, where his salary is currently split. Morse volunteered to wait until the January pay period and have the bonus paid from a single department rather than split between funds.
The board also voted twice to enter executive session to discuss confidential financial data or trade secrets of a business. The first motion (moved by Commissioner Terry Weidert and seconded by Commissioner Tom Barrett) allowed Derek Clevinger to attend for a ten-minute period; the board reconvened at 9:31 a.m. A second executive session motion (moved by Chairman Vincent B. Schibi and seconded by Commissioner Terry Weidert) listed County Counselor Brian K. Johnson, Emergency Manager Charles Morse and Solid Waste Board Chairman Derek Clevinger as present for approximately twenty minutes; the board reconvened at 9:54 a.m. Both motions passed by unanimous recorded votes.
The minutes do not disclose substantive details from the executive sessions, consistent with the stated confidentiality rationale, and they do not show any binding procurement action related to NEOGOV at this meeting.
