Committee rejects retroactive pay for self-terminated employees in split vote

Health and Social Services Committee · July 8, 2026

Summary

A motion to approve retro pay for self-terminated employees failed on a 3–4 roll-call vote; Members Wachtel, May and Bumann voted in favor while Members Breeden, Jones, Dobbels and Thompson opposed. No debate details were recorded in the minutes.

Member Bob Wachtel moved that the committee approve retroactive pay for employees who had self-terminated; Member Dave Dobbels seconded. The motion was decided by roll call: Members Wachtel, Chair Jan May and Shannon Bumann voted in favor; Members Kippy Breeden, Marshall Jones, Dave Dobbels and Jim Thompson voted against the motion, and it failed.

The meeting minutes record the vote totals and the names of members on each side but do not include the arguments for or against the motion or any amendment text. Because the minutes do not record the rationale, the record does not indicate whether the vote related to a particular personnel case, a policy change, or a one-time payment; the committee took no further action on the item.
