Approval of Minutes from June 30, 2021: Meeting minutes were presented for approval by VanderHeyden, seconded by Witt. Minutes approved unanimously.
Organizational Chart: Given that the library is currently developing programming and budget for 2022 and looking at an impending retirement Director Kopetsky reviewed three potential reorganizational possibilities for implementation in 2022. Other than the status quo option, the changes look to streamline the staff organizational chart and make it easier for staff members to collaborate with one another.
Motion was made by Witt to move forward with option 1. Seconded by VanderHeyden. Motion carried unanimously.
Proposal will be presented to full board at its August 24th meeting.
Appropriate Staffing Tier: Director Kopetsky discussed relocating two staff members to different tiers in the wage scale. The director feels these moves would more accurately reflect the work being carried out by those affected staff members.
Motion made by VanderHeyden, seconded by Witt to present wage scale adjustment to full board. Motion carried unanimously.
