Payment Approval
Motion by Mosher, second by Lee, and unanimously carried to approve payment to the Otter Tail

Positive Performance Evaluation
Motion by Lee, second by Block, and unanimously carried to approve the positive performance
evaluation as presented for County Coordinator, Larry Krohn, and to place the evaluation in his
personnel file.
Clarification -Working Out of Classification
County Coordinator, Larry Krohn, presented an issue on behalf of the Personnel Board, dealing
with employees working out of classification. He stated that the provision is covered by labor
agreements and the current personnel rules; however, the language is not very specific. The
policy provides that an employee asked to fill in for an extended period of time for a leave of
absence should be compensated for the new duties. The Personnel Board recommends that the
current policy used for promotions be used when an employee is working out of classification. An
employee performing supervisory duties would receive a 6% salary increase and move to the next
higher step on the grade level of the assumed position. This would be conditioned upon a need for
the duties to be performed over 15 working days and approved by the appropriate Department
Head.
