Hours of Work and Breaks. Proposed policy modifications include: • The expansion of the 40-hour work week to all applicable departments (previously just Forestry, Highway and Maintenance). This reflects current practice. • Flexible work hours as approved by the Supervisor (Previously only between 7am- 6pm). • Modified breaks and lunch language to be more flexible. • The workgroup asked that the Personnel Committee provide feedback on 2 items related to Lunch Breaks: o Is a lunch break required? Recommendation is Yes. o If yes, after what duration of shift? Recommendation is over 4 hours a lunch break is required*. *Does not apply to Dispatch, Jail, Highway. FINANCIAL IMPLICATION: No Financial Implication 2. Holidays. The workgroup asked the Personnel Committee to consider adding a floating Holiday. Some employees thought this would be appropriate for diverse cultural holidays. No formal change recommended. 3. Paternity/Maternity. Proposed policy modifications include: • Increase amount of paid maternity/paternity leave to 4 weeks (currently 2 weeks). Income Continuation Insurance Coverage typically starts after 30 days and normally provides 2 additional weeks of pay. Since inception, we have averaged 5 employees a year using maternity/paternity leave. • Allow immediate eligibility upon hire. (Currently eligible if birth occurs after 6 months of employment) • Allow use of Maternity/Paternity leave over 12 months. (Currently must be used within 12 weeks of the birth) • If both spouses are Bayfield County employees, allow both to be eligible for maternity/paternity leave. (Currently only 2 weeks for both spouses combined) FINANCIAL IMPLICATION: Currently 2 weeks x 5 employees = 10 weeks per year (50 days). Approximately 25% of these shifts may be filled with OT. Doubling the amount of leave could result in approximately 25 days of OT each year. $9k. 4. Funeral leave • Add one day for brother-in-law / sister-in-law • Financial Implication: $1000 Item 5: A revised draft of the Personnel Committee Ordinance is included in the meeting packet. The ordinance more clearly identifies the committee’s authority. Item 6: The temporary scanning position in the Zoning Office is currently funded through early July. According to the Zoning Office, they have completed scanning back through 1993. It takes about 1.5 weeks to complete a year. Current employee is temporary. Continuation would make this a benefit eligible position that we are evaluating. The attachment here goes into more detail. • The current budget hours end in July. • The individual was hired in October. • This will be a 2027 budget discussion item as another year is anticipated. • We recommend continuing this through September 30 at this time. • Estimated hours will be an additional approximately 560 hours. • We are balancing additional cost with project completion. • Contracted cost was much more than this. Item 7: Preliminary Health Insurance premium rates are estimated to rise 8.5-20%. We will know specifics in the next few weeks. We are very near fully staffed. We are seeing the lowest number of vacancies in quite some time. While this is wonderful from a productivity standpoint, we have relied on savings from turnover to offset the cost of unanticipated wage adjustments, larger health insurance increases and other personnel related costs. Item 8: • The May Personnel Financial Report shows overall expenses at 39%, $8.56 million, approximately $600k over 2025. 5/12 of the year is 41.6%. o General 40% o HS: 36% o Highway 40% • HR Report for May attached.

The remaining files include 20 years of land use permits, and approximately 57 years of sanitary permits and soil tests. As the files get older, while each individual record consists of less pages, the quality of the documents also is lower, which requires additional attention to ensure a quality record (as well as possible) is retained. This makes it difficult to provide an accurate assessment of how much time might be remaining in the project, but we would hope to be completed by the end of 2026. The scanning project was initiated to preserve historical records that would otherwise continue to deteriorate over time and to improve office efficiency by providing immediate digital access to documents. Previously, staff were required to make frequent trips to the basement to retrieve and refile physical records. These historical permit files are routinely reviewed whenever a property owner applies for a new land use permit to verify compliance with property requirements, making them a frequently accessed resource. Historical sanitary records are also regularly requested by plumbers and property owners to determine the age, location, or status of existing systems. Digitizing these records has already resulted in increased efficiency when assisting customers, leading to faster permit review and issuance times. Additionally, once records are scanned, they become immediately available through the County’s website, allowing the public to search and access information as needed. Several factors have extended the project's original anticipated timeline, including the need to replace the initial scanner due to its age and declining performance. In addition, preparing documents for scanning has proven to be a time-intensive process because many records contain a variety of media formats, including photographs, handwritten notes, and oversized maps that cannot be accommodated by the standard scanner. These larger documents must be scanned separately using the large-format scanner in the Land Records Office. Another challenge has been the inconsistency of permit numbering practices over the years. To improve record organization and long-term usability, staff have developed and implemented a standardized numbering system, which requires renumbering permits both on the physical files and within the Access database to ensure consistency across all years.

Ten were onboarding in May. Four of them have worked for the county in the past. It is always refreshing when previous staff return. • Conducted policy orientation with Emma Grove as she took on the role of Clerk of Court. Things such as worker’s compensation, FMLA, performance evaluations were topics covered. • Participated in a PSAP Board meeting as it related to staffing. • Listened to a couple of ETF trainings related to the new MyBenefits system that will go live on July 1 for all employees. • Conducted orientation with a new Deputy Sheriff that started academy training on June 1. • Spent a fair amount of time working on revisions to the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual. • Participated in a series of hearings/meetings related to an employment situation with a union employee. • Provided feedback on Employee of the Year nominations. • Currently monitoring several employees that have had recent worker’s compensation claims that have resulted in time away from work. These cases are time consuming and complicated to manage when it comes to payroll. Jaime is certainly learning through immersion.
