- The results of the wage study have been studied, digested, and modeled by Administration staff and we've landed on a generous plan we can afford! Thanks to Sheri for her tireless work to get all the numbers perfect. The board's Personnel and Finance Committee will take a look at our proposed plan before the December board meeting so we are ready for full board approval and can implement the changes beginning January 1st.I'll be meeting with you all in small groups to deliver the good news (it's good news for everyone!) and explain how we came up with the new wage scale, how we will implement it, and what that means to you. Look for that invitation shortly.
- The Common Council will vote on accepting our 2019 budget on both Tuesday and Wednesday evenings this coming week. Last week I presented our budget to the Council's Finance Committee and they readily accepted it. Everything should go well next week.
- A writer for The Nation magazine joined us at the UAW Hall for the Sweat play performance back in October, and wrote a very interesting article about Public Theater's Mobile Unit. The Kenosha performance and the city itself is profiled here.
- This week's Bright Spot Award goes to our amazing maintenance staff Dan, Scott, Jason, and Jim for cheerfully filling in for vacationing custodians and for random acts of kindness toward staff and patrons. We appreciate you guys so much!
- Lin and I are both off on Monday. I'll be home so feel free to text or call in an emergency. Otherwise, Anne is your emergency contact.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Barb
