H.R. Consultant Update 
Mary Beth Bernard brought the committee up to date on the Job Description/Job Classification Project she 
is responsible for.  The project is on target with rough drafts of 75% of descriptions completed, meetings 
with key stakeholders finished, and collection of outside survey materials in progress. She has also utilized 
available public municipality data.  She has done FLSA reviews and classification reviews as each job 
description completed.  There is an open issue that they are  reviewing to assess if the Administrator role 
should be expanded to create department specific administrators as she has seen a wide disparity in these 
roles.  Some changes noted as departments modernized and roles changed.  She suggested that when final 
job descriptions were approved that employees be asked to acknowledge receiving the job description.   The 
pay plan proposal will be completed for review by February 8, 2023 and final drafts of proposal will be 
February 15, 2023.  There was a discussion regarding the need for more in person interviews, which will be 
considered as this was a voluntary process.
