The Board of Trustees authorized a conditional offer to labor employee number 01082026 to fill a shared mechanic position that will serve roadways, facilities and water/wastewater operations.

The chair explained the change in process: "So Matt and Bugsy have made the recommendation that we extend a conditional offer to labor employee number 01082026, at the rate of $25 per hour." The hire is under civil service rules and the board said background checks and driving records are required before a final appointment. The chair said the candidate is a National Institute of Automotive Service–certified mechanic and that the conditional offer protects privacy by using an employee number on the record.

Trustees discussed a typographical correction in the motion language and confirmed an amendment clarifying the conditional-offer rate at $25 per hour. The board approved the recommendation; the conditional offer is subject to the background check and a future determination about extending a full offer after a six-month period.
