Committee directs ULP legal expenses be paid from county board budget
Summary
The Finance Committee voted to pay expenses related to an unfair labor practice charge filed by highway union employees out of the county board budget rather than a highway-specific fund.
During Jan. 20 deliberations committee members discussed which budget should fund legal expenses tied to an unfair labor practice charge reportedly filed by highway union employees. After discussion, Terry Ferguson moved and Jamie Prestegaard seconded a motion that the expense be paid from the county board budget; voice vote carried.
The minutes record the committee’s consensus to route the charge-related costs to the county board budget. The motion was recorded as direction rather than a procurement action; any subsequent invoices, payments or accounting transfers will be subject to standard county disbursement procedures and reporting to the board.
