HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE REPORT TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Friday, July 12, 2024
9:00 a.m.
107 NORTH KENT STREET, WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA
A Human Resources Committee meeting was held on the First Floor Conference Room at 107 North Kent Street on
Friday, July 12, 2024 at 9:00 a.m.
ATTENDEES:
Committee Members Present: John Jewell, Chairman; Josh Ludwig (remote connection); and Kevin
Callanan.
Staff present: Mike Bollhoefer, County Administrator; Jay Tibbs, Deputy County Administrator; Michael
Marciano, HR Director; and Karen Vacchio, Public Information/FOIA Officer.
ITEMS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY
Mike Bollhoefer and Michael Marciano updated the HR Committee on the Sheriff’s recruitment and retention
efforts. In the coming weeks, staff will provide the HR Committee with information on the Sheriff’s desire to add a
Master Deputy position to his department. The Sheriff maintains that taking this step will allow experienced
Deputy III employees to be promoted (after serving at least six (6) years as a Deputy III) into another position and
thereby retain our most senior law enforcement personnel. Additionally, staff will also look at what other Counties
may be paying their deputies, and whether there are any other benefits that may encourage applicants to apply to
Frederick County’s Sheriff’s Office.
The HR Committee discussed the schedule for future meetings. The consensus of the HR Committee is that
quarterly meetings be held March, June, September and December. Additional meetings can be added to the
calendar if necessary.
The consensus of the HR Committee is to move forward with the approaches outlined above.
Respectfully submitted,
HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE
