PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD<\/strong><\/p>\nThere being no citizens who wished to address the Commission, Chairman Cason closed the Public Comment Period<\/p>\n
Commissioner Elliott made a motion seconded by Commissioner Boland to add item #3 Telephones, Computers and Communication to the agenda.\u00a0 Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
ADOPT: <\/strong><\/p>\nCommissioner Boland made a motion and seconded by Commissioner Booker to adopt the minutes of the September 3, 2015 Human Resources Committee Meeting. Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u><\/p>\n
DISCUSSION: <\/strong><\/p>\nUniform Policy Update: Field Exposure Section 4.14-2 <\/strong><\/p>\nJWSC allows a $70 dollar stipend for employees to purchase work shoes\/steel toed boots. It was suggested that the choices be limited to a certain style so all employees are similar.\u00a0 Pam Crosby stated originally Cintas came out to fit employees recommend a safety shoe.\u00a0 OSHA requires steel toed boots for safety shoes for use in any warehouse area or in a place where an employee is picking up an item over 40 lbs.\u00a0 This includes all equipment or trenching activities.\u00a0 It was recommended for the staff meeting tomorrow to address this issue with the superintendents of how many employees would require this type of shoe.\u00a0 It was requested of Pam to research the safety shoes \/ steel toed shoes that are in the marketplace that are available for purchase that fit the $70 criteria.\u00a0 The stipend provided may not cover the cost of these shoes and needs addressing plus limiting the choices so that it fits OSHA requirements and there is no doubt that we are within the standards. Dan Lovein stated it can be very advantages if you have delineated as to who those employees are and that it is part of their personnel file and they have recognized as a requirement then in the event that they are injured as a result of not wearing this equipment it is a defense for a worker\u2019s compensation.\u00a0 A form for the employees to sign and date with the supervisor signature which would state the equipment required could be simple and was requested by Jeffrey.\u00a0 Requirement of seatbelts was also requested to be part of the personnel file.\u00a0 Jeffrey stated these requirements can be a toolbox topic where employees sign and it is kept in the personnel file.\u00a0 The form developed will need to be brought before the full commission.<\/p>\n
Assistant Director Position<\/strong><\/p>\nHeather was unavailable for this meeting and Jeffrey provided a very rough draft of an Assistant Director position.\u00a0 It was noted that JWSC can hire a person as a stand alone position or attach it to an existing position like it is this month and provide an increase when they are having to perform these extra duties.\u00a0 It was agreed by all that the committee is requesting a stand alone position.\u00a0\u00a0 Commissioner Cason stated the need for continuity and for the number 2 person for any job position and should be included in the operation.\u00a0 It was requested for Teamworks to provide the job descriptions of the top four positions.\u00a0 \u00a0The next step is to clarify the job summary and reconvene at the Human Resources Committee again at the next meeting with the Executive Director present.<\/p>\n
Telephones, Computers, and Communication<\/strong><\/p>\nCommissioner Elliott requested this subject be added to the personnel policy in which it addresses the phones are to be lockable and a language that states you will not lend your phone to any non-JWSC employee or leave unattended.<\/p>\n
