Committee approves LTE staffing, vendor vouchers and overlap training; line-item transfer approved
Summary
The committee approved vendor vouchers, a reduced 2027 LTE hiring request (seven positions) with a wage adjustment, a two-week overlap training for a new Financial Specialist (approved with one dissent), and a $10,000 line-item transfer to revenue.
The committee approved several personnel and routine budget actions. Motions carried to approve the meeting agenda and June 11 minutes. The committee approved vendor vouchers as presented. Commissioner Ben Rich said reducing the 2027 LTE (seasonal) request from eight to seven and increasing the wage grade would save about $500; a motion by Hess/Almekinder to approve the 2027 LTE staffing request and wages carried.
Rich reported Dan Gleason will assume the Financial Specialist position on Aug. 4 and that State reimbursement of 80% of Gleason’s wages for his first month and a half should yield roughly $14,000 in savings; Rich proposed using part of that savings to fund overlap training estimated at $3,500. Fried preferred one week of overlap but a motion by Fried/Almekinder to approve two weeks of overlap training carried with Fried opposed.
Rich also explained a $10,000 line-item transfer to a revenue account; a motion by Cushing/Hess to approve the transfer carried. No individual vote tallies by member were recorded in the transcript beyond the named motions and the notation that Fried opposed the overlap training motion.
