3.C. LARM Changes to Insurance Coverage
Rationale:
The below e-mail was received in our office last week. It appears LARM will continue our P/C coverages as they have in the past without the coverage for downstream liability. Discussion is needed for our district's next step as it relates to our insurance coverages.
LARM Member Natural Resource District Directors, LARM values and appreciates all LARM members, including the NRDs. Although the LARM Board of Directors decided to no longer accept other NRDs wishing to join LARM, LARM will continue to honor its contracts with those NRDs that currently are LARM members. However, effective October 1, 2021, LARM will no longer provide coverage to NRDs for "downstream liability." Thank you for your understanding and consideration. Dave Bos, ARM Executive Director League Association of Risk Management 1335 L Street | Suite 200 | Lincoln, NE 68508 402-853-1055 | dave.bos@larmpool.org Staff was directed to look into Insurance Companies that would possibly offer "downstream liability" coverage. |

3.F. Open Meeting Law
Rationale:
With the recent changes to the Nebraska Open Meetings Law, discussion is needed on how our district wishes to proceed with our monthly board meetings. We can continue to offer all our meetings via video conferencing however we must have at least 1/2 our meetings as "in-person" meetings and cannot allow directors to participate remotely during these meetings.
The June Board of Directors meeting will be an in-person meeting and Directors will NOT be allowed to vote via Zoom. Within the next couple months staff will be drafting a policy/guidelines to address the new Open Meeting Law. |
4. EQUIPMENT
|
5. PERSONNEL
|
5.A. Staff Annual Evaluations
Rationale:
Management has concluded evaluations for all LPNNRD staff and are finishing one-on-one reviews.
In the past Director Saalfeld has coordinated the directors review of the General Manager's evaluation on behalf of the personnel sub-committee, I have spoken with Dave and he is willing to coordinate the evaluations again this year. Once complete, a Personnel sub-committee will need to be scheduled to review evaluation results with General Manager. |
5.B. Fiscal Year 2022 Salary Adjustments
Rationale:
Last year Committee and Board approved $ 26,000 for total payroll increase to be distributed by General Manager based on annual performance evaluations. Of this amount, approximately $ 24,500 was utilized. I am asking for a small increase this year to raise the total maximum available increase to $ 28,000.
Plan is to increase staff salaries in same manner and values as last year and are as follows: - Needs improvement - No salary increase - Fully Satisfactory - $ 1,000 salary increase - Commendable - $ 1,250 salary increase - Exceptional - $ 1,500 salary increase
Recommended Motion(s):
To approve up to $ 28,000 in total salary increase to allow for performance based staff salary increase. Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.

5.C. Wanahoo Staff Salary adjustments
Rationale:
Management would like to offer $.50/hour raise to
Richard Mullen, Sharon Kremlacek, Sam Kavan and Jaci Schnakenberg as all four are returning for their 3rd season as a Wanahoo Park employees and all are important assets to our team. Would also like to offer $.50/hour raise to Morgan Oden as she begins her 2nd season on the staff. This year we have hired two new Wanahoo Park Entrance staff members. Due to the nature of this work load, work schedule and the responsibility of handling large sums of money, I would like to set their pay rate at $ 11.00/hour once their training is complete and they have demonstrated the ability to perform their duties to the required standards.
Recommended Motion(s):
To approve $.50/hour pay raise to all returning Wanahoo Staff and begin park entrance staff at a rate of $ 11.00/hour Passed with a motion by Board Member #1 and a second by Board Member #2.
