Document:
The regular meeting of the Subcommittee to the State Board of Examiners was called to order at 700 West State Street, Boise, Idaho, at 9:00 a.m. pursuant to Idaho Code §67-2002 and by order of the chair.
Note: The tape recording from this subcommittee meeting was inaudible, therefore, minutes we written by the assisting secretary to the Subcommittee to the State Board of Examiners.
Approval of official minutes for the meeting of the Subcommittee to the Board of Examiners on November 10, 2005.
Resolution: Mr. High moved to approve item 1. Mr. Goodenough seconded the motion. The motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.
Request to reimburse moving expenses up to $16,000 for the new Assistant Vice President of Human Resources. Paul Michaud is moving from Miami, Florida to Moscow, Idaho.
Audience with the subcommittee: Mr. Shinn stated this position is the executive level position of chief human resources officer and has been vacant for three years. He stated the agency needed to fill this position to aid with revamping the university’s structure. He presented a comparison of recent moves as well as an explanation of what this particular move would cost from different parts of the country.
Discussion: Mr. High inquired whether this position is different than one that would be filled at a state agency. Ms. Heilman stated that often universities need to recruit and hire nationally where state agencies are able to hire locally or regionally. Mr. Foltman stated that based on the information provided, this request did not seem to justify an exception from the policy.
Resolution: Mr. Foltman moved to stick to the policy limit of 10% of salary for item 2 and moved it to the regular agenda. Mr. Goodenough seconded the motion. The motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.
Request to lift the vacation cap on Bonnie Sletten until February 3, 2006.
Audience with the subcommittee: Mr. Tolman stated that Ms. Sletten was hired from a university having a different leave schedule and therefore her vacation leave balance was higher than allowed for state agencies. He stated that if the vacation cap was lifted until February 3, 2006 she would be able to use enough of her vacation hours to bring her balance back under the cap.
Discussion: Mr. High inquired if this would allow enough time for Ms. Sletten to get her balance down enough not to lose vacation hours in the future. Mr. Tolman stated that with the holiday season coming she will be able to get her vacation balance down to a manageable amount. Mr. Foltman stated he was pleased by ITD managers’ commitment to working within state rules. Mr. Woolf commended ITD management for allowing the employee to keep the vacation benefit.
Resolution: Mr. High moved to approve item 3. Mr. Goodenough seconded the motion. The motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.
