Mrs. Schumacher called the meeting to order at 10:00 am.
A motion was made by Mrs. Huddlestun, seconded by Mr. Hepler, to
approve the minutes from the March 9, 2015 meeting as printed.
Motion passed.
Old Business:
Personnel Policy Revisions: Mr. Wright does not feel it’s
necessary to include statutory laws in the personnel policy. Mr.
Wright agrees the County needs to follow those laws, but they don’t
need to be listed all the way out in the personnel policy. He is
okay with just referencing them in our policy.
The committee agreed under Employee Credit Privacy, they will put
“Logan County seeks to comply with the Employee Credit Privacy Act
(820 ILCS 70) in the protection of the privacy of employee credit
history and to prevent discrimination based on such history”.
 The employee will be required to then search the Act and research
it themselves.
The committee agreed any statutory law that is in the personnel
policy will be listed with the act number for employees to
reference.
Mr. Wright will send out a memo to each department head
explaining the Employee Credit Privacy Act, VESSA, USERRA, FMLA and
the Concealed Carry.
Concealed Carry- Mrs. Schumacher will reword the language under
concealed carry. Mrs. Schumacher will clean up the language and send
the policies to Mr. Wright to review. A motion was made by Mr.
Hepler, seconded by Mr. Ruben, to send the personnel policy
revisions to the full board. Motion passed.
Affirmative Action Plan: Mrs. Rogers reported the County
needs an affirmative action plan, however the auditors said we did
not. Mrs. Dugan will email Adam Pulley to remind him to research
this item for the County Board.

FMLA implementation: Mrs. Schumacher asked Mrs.
Huddlestun how they handle FMLA. Mrs. Huddlestun will e-mail
Mrs. Schumacher a form for employees to fill out.
The committee discussed when FMLA starts and how it may or may
not apply to all departments.
Mrs. Schumacher will add language to say the personnel handbook
pertains to all employees under authority of the county board,
including departments headed by officials appointed by the county
board.
Although elected officials have the authority to establish their
own policies, most policies in the handbook are in place countywide.
Mrs. Schumacher will add language to state the employee has to
use their sick time and vacation time before FMLA kicks in. Mrs.
Schumacher will make changes to the personnel policy for Thursday
night’s meeting and she will email Mr. Wright the information to
send out to department heads.
HR Management: Mrs. Schumacher does not feel we are at the
point to hire a HR manager. Mr. Ruben feels Mrs. Schumacher needs to
have a meeting with the elected officials to see how they feel about
hiring a HR manager. Mr. Anderson wants to ask CIRMA if we can just
rely on Donna Rogers to be Logan County’s HR manager.
IWIN Procedure: Mr. Aukamp reported he was unsatisfied with
an employee’s recent experience with IWIN.
A motion was made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Farmer, to
adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting ended at 10:50a.m
