We will advise if there any changes at the meeting and have prepared amendments if necessary. Discussion. Action Requested: approval of County Plans as presented.
WINNEFOX PERSONNEL POLICY/ Exhibit A contains proposed changes to the
STAFF MANUAL CHANGES Winnefox Library System Staff Manual.
The health insurance changes were discussed with the Winnefox Executive Committee in September and were approved as a recommendation to you. Those changes reflect requiring employees to pay a 3% health insurance premium co-payment beginning in 2003 as was included in the budget. The other changes reflect previous actions (as in the case of your prior approval of the Section 125 cafeteria plan resolution) or current practices. Discussion. Action Requested: approve changes as proposed in Exhibit A.
PROPOSED BY-LAWS CHANGES Exhibit B contains a series of proposed changes to
the Winnefox By-Laws. Most of these are simply language cleanup based upon the changes in Board size, etc. One of the proposals relates to the makeup of the Executive Committee due to the fact that our practice in recent years does not conform to what the by-laws say. So I’ve proposed a change that would rectify that. I’ve also made the modifications suggested at the September meeting. Discussion. Action Requested: approve by-laws changes as proposed in Exhibit B.
