Wausau Human Resources Committee Meeting - 10/12/26

The City of Wausau Human Resources Committee met on October 12, 2026. The committee approved the prior meeting minutes and passed a resolution supporting an additional HR coordinator position, citing the department’s workload, including workers’ compensation cases, leave administration, and benefits issues. The position was described as included in the proposed budget, but hiring cannot proceed until the budget modification is approved or the new budget takes effect; the item is to go to Common Council. No dollar amount was stated, and no vendor contract or purchase was discussed.

The committee also discussed whether to change summer and winter office hours. A motion to retain summer hours and add an extended day did not receive a second. A subsequent motion to keep summer hours during summer and the usual full-day winter schedule was seconded; the chair concluded that the schedules would remain as they were, with no Friday afternoons off. Members also discussed a possible evening-hours pilot, but no pilot was approved in the transcript.
