Commission debates HR training, handbook enforcement; tables consultant decision
Summary
Commissioners discussed HR training options (est. $6,000–$7,000), the county handbook's reliance on legal counsel for HR complaints, and whether the current consultant can provide services; commissioners tabled the decision pending options and possible handbook-committee action.
Commissioners discussed a proposed HR-training session for department heads, estimated by staff at about $6,000–$7,000 for a multi-hour session. Staff said current consultant Laurie is not in a position to take the county on as an HR consultant, and that the handbook currently routes HR complaints to legal counsel. "They since having conversations with, her directors, they are not staffed accordingly right now to be able to offer that service," the staff member said.
The group considered alternatives including contracting another vendor, having the handbook committee arrange training, or using the county's insurance partners (USI) if they offer comparable sessions. Commissioners emphasized the need for a written escalation process so that routine complaints can be addressed before elevation to county administration. After discussion, a commissioner moved to table the HR-training and handbook action while staff develops options; the motion was seconded and carried.
