CLOSED SESSION
At 5:58 PM, Chairman Bob Kinnison closed the meeting to discuss early retirement incentive program and approval of closed session minutes.
Early retirement incentive program – Tom Kalousek reported working with Judi Day and Kim Ponder from Human Resources on a five year early retirement incentive program. Only four or five employees are expected to sign up for this program. Some positions will not be filled and other positions will be filled internally with reorganization. Employees are given until December 31, 2010 to decide and the last day they have to leave is October 31, 2011. L.C. Wilson inquired as to what would happen if none of the employees signed up for the program and Kalousek replied there would be no program. Kinnison reported that the new Committee could rescind this policy when they take over. Kay Mullins inquired what would happen if all 19 of the employees were to take the program and Kalousek replied there would be fewer full time employees and a realignment which would not be a problem. Bob Hastings inquired if people in the union would be able to take management positions and Kalousek reported they will not because there will be fewer management positions available.
