NEW BUSINESS
 
The Committee was presented with a robust draft personnel request for consideration in the upcoming FY. This will also be presented to the Finance Committee as we get closer to those presentations in June. Executive Director Miskewitch noted that not all personnel requests proposed by leadership were brought forward, only due to considerations needed for an upcoming organizational alignment discussion with a consultant. If we are in alignment, Executive Director Miskewitch would like to revisit the personnel requests that have not been brought forward at this time.  
 
Ensuring that we also address the statutory hourly wage along with compression was also mentioned as an issue to address in the upcoming year.  
 
The Committee was provided staffing statistics, current CPI, recommended medical insurance premiums to the various plans, raise/COLA history, recommendations for staff at the end of the scale, new job descriptions proposed, and the proposed new paygrade assignments for 07/01/2024. The Committee will schedule another meeting before the Finance Committee meetings to flush out recommendations further.  
 
Discussion was held on our Library’s current sick leave policy.  
 
Discussion was held on reviewing an amended option to provide employees with more funding options for Mission Square.  
 
Discussion was had on IMRF and our current history with a section 218 agreement.  
 
Executive Director Miskewitch and Finance Director Elizabeth Valenziano will conduct more research to bring to the Committee.
