Boone County Health Department Discusses Employee Grievances

Below are the open session minutes of the March 17, 2010, Board of Health meeting at which Stephanie (Seaworth) Crawford resigned.  At this meeting 90 days of severance pay was authorized by the board of health.

Among  other items I question, how can this board authorize such a large amount of compensation without a role call vote.  Apparently none of the members wish the public to really know how they voted or they all believed that level of severance was deserved by Ms. Crawford, who did not meet the initial qualifications for the job and served approximately 13 months. 

Were not the employee grievances against Ms. Crawford and her mentor, Mr. Empereur?   If these grievances were justified ,why would severance pay be award to Ms. Crawford?  

Susan Karras was the employee who resigned because  of the grievance and her record was expunge of the questionable disciplinary action.  Why did Ms. Karras not receive severance?  If someone deserves severance, I believe it is Ms. Karras.
