Personnel Committee Narrative
September 3, 2026, Meeting
Item 4: The Committee will discuss the wage for the Medical Examiner position. In 2027,
Bayfield County will transition from an elected Coroner to an appointed Medical Examiner. The
proposed compensation structure for the Medical Examiner and Medical Examiner Assistants is
very similar to the present. One key difference between a medical examiner and coroner is that a
coroner is an elected position.
The recommendation is to provide the Medical Examiner with an annual salary, $7,456 in 2027,
for administrative duties, adjusted annually by the same cost-of-living increase provided to other
non-union employees. The Medical Examiner and Assistants would receive $100 for each death
investigation and $50 for each cremation authorization. Travel expenses would be reimbursed in
accordance with the County’s Travel Policy. These positions are expected to work fewer than 600
hours annually and would not be eligible for benefits.
In comparison, the Coroner and Deputy’s current make: The Coroner receives a salary of
$286.78 per pay period. The Deputy’s receive $75 for each death investigation and $50 for each
cremation authorization.
For comparison, the County’s total Coroner-related expenditures were $15,629 in 2024, and
$13,961 in 2025. The 2026 budget included $16,656 for wages, per diem payments, and FICA.
Wisconsin statutes require the County Board to establish the Medical Examiner’s compensation
by ordinance. The ordinance will also address the terms of appointment, appointment of
assistants, bonding requirements, and other conditions of the position.
If approved an ordinance will be prepared and forwarded to the county board.
Item 5: Zak Radzak, Bargaining Agent for the Teamsters will be present to make a general
presentation, negotiations have been scheduled for the end of the meeting.
Item 6: At the last Personnel Committee meeting the Committee approved adjusting county
health insurance for members of the state plan from 12% to 15% for employees receiving a
wellness incentive and from 17% to 20% for employees who do not participate in the wellness
program.
The agenda item and motion was limited to employees on the State Maintenance Plan.
Consideration for Teamsters is also needed.
It is the goal of the county to keep employee benefits as similar as possible across employee
groups.
In 2026 all county employees pay 12%. In an informal survey of other counties, 10 of 24 were at
15% employee contribution or above. The Teamster plan is different from the State Health Plan.
The Teamsters plan has one premium rate and does not offer separate single, spouse, or family
rates. The County pays the family rate for each employee regardless of enrollment status and
contributes $5,350 to an HRA for each employee. All eligible Teamsters employees are required
to enroll in the plan and may not opt out.
For comparison, in 2026 Bayfield County offers single and family coverage through the State of
Wisconsin Maintenance Health Plan and does not contribute to an HRA. The full premium for
the Teamster plan, including dental, is $1,584 per enrolled employee each month, combined with
the HRA this equals $5,350 per year. Employees currently pay $95 with Wellness Incentive/
$135 without Wellness Incentive per month. If the rate was increased to 15% employees would
pay: $238 with Wellness Incentive/$317 without Wellness Incentive per month. If only one
spouse did the Wellness Incentive, it would be $278 with Wellness Incentive/$317 without
Wellness Incentive per month.
At the August 13 meeting, the Personnel Committee reviewed the County’s projected 17.4%
health insurance premium increase for 2027 and approved increasing the employee premium
contribution by 3%. This changes the employee contribution from 17% to 20% without the
wellness incentive and from 12% to 15% with the wellness incentive.
In 2027, County employees will pay $503 per month for the family plan and $204 per month for
the single plan, using the 15% cost share amount.
In 2026, County employees pay 12% of the monthly premium with the Wellness Incentive –
$343 for the family plan and $140 for the single plan. Without the Wellness Incentive, County
employees pay 17% per month – $486 for the family plan and $198 for the single plan.
Item 7: At its August 13 meeting, the Personnel Committee asked that five positions, three
forestry and two human services be reviewed by the compensation consultant for further review.
As of Friday we have not yet received the results.
Item 8: The HR Department is updating all county personnel policies. In total we have
approximately 180 policies. Many are the same as current, some have been updated, others are
new. Attached is the comprehensive listing. Over the next several months we hope to review
and prepare for adoption in 2027. Our goal will be to share groupings of policy so as not to
overwhelm the committee.
Item 9:
• The Personnel financial report shows expenditures for wage and benefits up $992k over
end of August last year.
• August is the 8th month of the year, and is 66% through the year. Expenditures of all
county departments average 62% with major departments ranging between 59% and
64%.
• The HR report notes 39 new hires year to date broken down by full time (18), Part time
(4) and Seasonal Casual, (17)
• Three new workers’ compensation claims in August.

requests.
2. Jason Bodine, Forestry and Parks Administrator: discussed Forestry position requests.
3. Ruth Hulstrom, Planning and Zoning Director: discussed Planning and Zoning position
requests.
Minutes of July 2, 2026, Meeting:
Fred Strand motioned to approve the minutes of the July 2, 2026, Personnel Committee meeting.
Dennis Pocernich seconded the motion. Motion carried, 4-0.
Agenda:
New and modified position requests in 2027
Zoning
The Committee discussed four requests: a new half-time Clerk position, a temporary part-time Scanning
position, and two new positions to be filled by existing staff. The Committee also discussed concerns
regarding code violations not being addressed.
1. Fred Strand motioned to create a full-time Code Enforcement position and retain the part-time
Clerk position. Steve Sandstrom seconded the motion.
2. Following discussion, Fred Strand amended the motion to create a full-time Code Enforcement
position to be filled by an existing employee and to retain the part-time Clerk position. Steve
Sandstrom seconded the amended motion. Motion carried, 4-0.
3. Steve Sandstrom motioned to continue the scanning position through no later than December
2027. Fred Strand seconded the motion. Dennis Pocernich opposed. Motion carried, 3-1.
Forestry
The Committee discussed four requests: the addition of an Assistant Administrator position and grade
changes for the Assistant Forest Administrator, Inventory and Analysis Forester, and Recreation
Coordinator positions. The Forest Administrator conducted his own wage analysis for the department.
The rationale provided included comparisons with positions in Michigan, Minnesota, and state and
federal agencies, which were identified as the relevant labor market for forestry positions. The
methodology used for this analysis differed from the County consultant’s methodology. The 2025
compensation study included the Forester and Recreation Coordinator positions.
1. Dennis Pocernich motioned to return all four recommended positions to the consultant for further
review using Forest Administration data. Steve Sandstrom seconded the motion. Motion carried,
4-0.
Human Services
The Committee discussed seven requests: including one new position, three new positions to be filled by
existing staff, two position reclassifications, and one increase in hours.
1. Dennis Pocernich motioned to approve the two reclassifications—the Youth Support and Services
Coordinator Supervisor and the state-funded CCS position—and to return the EBS/DBS position
to the consultant for further review. Fred Strand seconded the motion. Motion carried, 4-0.
Maintenance
The Committee discussed a request for a half-time Cleaner position based on the increased cleaning
workload and the addition of office space. The Committee noted that Maintenance may request
reconsideration of additional staffing in 2027 if the need arises. No action was taken.
Criminal Justice
The Committee discussed the request for a Post-Charge Diversion Case Manager position. Funding for
the position has been awarded for a five-year period.
1. Dennis Pocernich motioned to proceed with the recommendation. Fred Strand seconded the
motion. Motion carried, 4-0.
2027 Health Insurance
Human Resources provided an overview of the County’s 2027 health insurance options. The County’s
current health plan is projected to increase by 17.4% in 2027, resulting in an estimated additional County
cost of $640,000 if the current plan and contribution structure remain unchanged.
The Committee reviewed the following options:
• Retain the current health plan and contribution structure.
• Transition to a high-deductible health plan, potentially with a Health Reimbursement
Arrangement (HRA) to offset a portion of employees’ additional deductible and cost-sharing
expenses.
• Retain the current health plan and increase the employee share of the premium.
The Committee also reviewed employer and employee premium contributions and considered employee
feedback supporting retention of the current local-deductible health plan. The current employee premium
contribution is 17%, or 12% for employees receiving the wellness incentive. Of 161 employees, 137
currently receive the full wellness incentive.
1. Dennis Pocernich motioned to increase the employee contribution toward health insurance
premiums 3% (17%-20% without wellness incentive/12%-15% with wellness incentive). Fred
Strand seconded the motion. Motion carried, 4-0.
Reports
The Committee reviewed the following reports included in the meeting packet:
a. Personnel Financial Report as of July 2026
