FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION
HUMAN SERVICES
Human Services/HC Administrator title change to Human Services Director; for one full time
salaried position effective retroactive to 3/19/20.
Moved by Mr. Sherman; seconded by Mr. Namie, approving the foregoing personnel request.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Sherman — Yes; Mr. Maggi — No; Mrs. Vaughan — Yes; Mr. Namie — Yes.
Motion carried.
TO BE NOTED FOR THE RECORD: Mr. Maggi acknowledged that what was before the Board
was a position title change, however, his reasoning for voting no on the motion is that the salary for the
position is remaining unchanged. He further explained that he does not hold anything against having the
position but feels that given the current crisis that it is bad timing to be giving a $17,000 raise to someone.
TO BE NOTED FOR THE RECORD: Mrs. Vaughan stated that this was the salary for this
position, and was already discussed by the prior board, and that if the former director, Tim Kimmel, would
have stayed with the county rather than going with the new health center owner, he would have been retained
as Human Services Director and this salary would have increased by 3% each year.
TO BE NOTED FOR THE RECORD: Mr. Namie stated that while there is a discussion on the
salary of the Human Services Director position, the vote before the Board is a title change only. The salary is
not before the Board because it is the same salary that was previously approved for the vacant position.
TO BE NOTED FOR THE RECORD: Mrs. Vaughan stated that all three commissioners, prior to
this day, had approved the salary slip, and that it was personally signed by Mr. Maggi and approved via email
by Mr. Sherman and herself. Mr. Maggi acknowledged that he signed the salary slip, however, it was done by
mistake as he thought it was for the title change only and not for the salary assigned to the position.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES
Acting BHDS Administrator; abolish one temporary full time salaried position effective 4/1/20.
MH/MR Administrator title change to BHDS Administrator and reduction in salary from
$94,100.09/year to $86,500.00/year; for one full time salaried position effective 4/1/20.
Moved by Mr. Sherman; seconded by Mr. Namie, approving the foregoing personnel request.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Sherman — Yes; Mr. Maggi — Yes; Mrs. Vaughan — Yes; Mr. Namie — Yes.
Motion carried unanimously.
