Consent Items: #6 & #12 – With respect to Consent Item #6 regarding late travel request, Supervisor Gutierrez suggested that department heads closely monitor travel requests to see that they are submitted according to county policy. In regard to Consent Item #12, Supervisor Gutierrez requested that the Board receive a report.

Consent Item: #29 – Supervisor Gutierrez asked if the COG Executive Director has sole discretion in deciding whether or not an employee receives a merit pay increase. COG Staff Member Steve Dial indicated that the Executive Director does have sole discretion in this regard, however, with input from the employee’s supervisor. Supervisor Gutierrez stated that unless there was some type of policy or procedural guidelines in place so that the Executive Director could monitor and justify merit increases, he had a concern with a practice of sole discretion.

Supervisor Sieglock felt that it was worthwhile to postpone this item for one week in order for the COG Executive Director to provide information to the Board on COG’s structure or policy on merit pay increases.

Supervisor Marenco stated that he would like a report on pay increases for the past five years. However, after learning the policy has been in place for three years, Supervisor Marenco indicated that a report for three years would be acceptable.
