Judge (speaking to the committee) said there were two applicants and two openings and recommended replacing Baker with an appraiser applicant. \"I might suggest that it be Mister Means because we're replacing essentially an appraiser with an appraiser,\" the judge said. A committee member moved to replace Baker's slot with Means; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The chair recorded, \"The ayes have it. Okay.\" The committee then moved and approved a separate motion to reappoint Miss Munchet to a full three-year term on the Equalization Board.

Both actions were approved by voice vote in committee and recorded as committee decisions. The appointments will be recorded in court records and implemented according to county appointment procedures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 13, 2025 Personnel Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Faulkner County Personnel Committee approved replacing an Equalization Board slot held by Baker with applicant Means and reappointed Miss Munchet to a full three-year term.","taxTitle","Faulkner County, Arkansas","taxId",9533,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6561788,"Committee forwards Faulkner County library staffing measure to budget committee",423,559000,982000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3287476-1de710a1c625b84a580b4f1f0435fe1b&start=559&end=982","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3287476-1de710a1c625b84a580b4f1f0435fe1b/thumbnail_559000.jpg","/articles/6561788/Faulkner-County/Arkansas/Committee-forwards-Faulkner-County-library-staffing-measure-to-budget-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6561788-3c52c592afda2ba6daf60ae37811088e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775555766&Signature=c3pUVnqHW0a7RhIegBlj16WhMWL5D6wvlj1kuFL7L6qwfDHpBPq5a8M2NllkRMouDtyqlWL~gLeT3O88zJaeGTVMtyA1NloFLUSRja0bAuJzIesHB1HawG8Yqq5EOJknVcmewz4YSoZjYeD8~Uj8ovITvG2UKzQACmA9ULmJFIUAb8U1yGjHOCgQAsoBUinm2dawCB14cqELYoIEITw0ZjWOgBozO8IqOBd4HcfrsRNA163vg1zEF5GIo1pBSQRdfJhcaLWZyv2YSLx3XMphyWmu6MCdPkaDFkBPPUXlXODfQbF81O3iSTjfQ0NzvOuFGoaSTN0Ffj9QRn4qwTRBuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Faulkner County Personnel Committee voted to forward Proposed Ordinance 25-16 to the Budget and Finance Committee for consideration. The ordinance concerns staffing for the county library system, including a position to handle marketing and external communications.

Mister McGraw, speaking for the county library, thanked the committee for prior support and said the library's recent hire of a full-time employee had been helpful. He described the new or reclassified position as responsible for marketing across branches and handling external communications, including contact with newspapers and crisis communications. \"Last year, you gave me an extra full time person,\" McGraw said. Committee members asked whether the new staff would handle marketing for all branches and communications during urgent situations; McGraw confirmed those responsibilities.

A member of the committee moved to place the ordinance on the table for discussion and later moved to forward it to Budget and Finance for fiscal review; both motions were seconded and approved by voice vote. The committee did not set specific salary figures in the meeting; Budget and Finance will review personnel and budget implications before any final hiring or reclassification.

The committee also asked about growth at a newer library branch (referred to during discussion as a recent addition) and how staffing changes would support expansion. McGraw said the branch expansion and overall communications needs were the rationale for the proposed position. The ordinance will be considered by Budget and Finance for funding and classification decisions.","Proposed Ordinance 25-16, to add or reclassify library positions (including a marketing/communications role), was discussed and forwarded by the Faulkner County Personnel Committee to Budget and Finance for fiscal review.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6561793,"Faulkner County committee forwards sheriff's IT reclassification ordinance to budget committee",524,33000,557000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3287476-1de710a1c625b84a580b4f1f0435fe1b&start=33&end=557","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3287476-1de710a1c625b84a580b4f1f0435fe1b/thumbnail_33000.jpg","/articles/6561793/Faulkner-County/Arkansas/Faulkner-County-committee-forwards-sheriffs-IT-reclassification-ordinance-to-budget-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6561793-3ad44d7d0d300a42ace1da9f04def7a9/orig.mp4?Expires=1775555766&Signature=iQUZALu1fJDA-KYg8Z7eS33gGRSnZAQDUbpzpPS5ypXLceCgWamsy~c~QmgEGUuJhYEZxBOY~obd5I~MZO0nA8QFgvKr4mOtefPcGmjOdYosGSKtn0MmaDYVYZqhX6pWmW3sg85rT2DcEGpwF8hqfKqy6H2oR~xRSRAOhcnLbQf8zLaPIVyRqeMlhN4bxGxFjdfXbIAt4CT0AyH2v1YPP5H0vzIyLnEPZJnGGDVzMOKdCCOKiJ2JmmqTRDgtlIiXIzsKOzX5VCePeJJiqXMQOHP9SZhYaJWjJ1ezq8eTD~OpwvKaZ3pDNACm5sr944gtDqKlyje1QGt3GdtMHOWoDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Faulkner County Personnel Committee voted to forward Proposed Ordinance 25-15 to the county Budget and Finance Committee for consideration. The ordinance would reclassify a sheriff's office information-technology position and increase its salary to match comparable county IT pay and support 24-hour operations.

The measure, sponsored by Councilor Chris Kendrick, was introduced to committee and discussed by the Faulkner County sheriff, who said the sheriff's office already has the position but needs a reclassification and pay adjustment to match county IT levels and to meet round-the-clock operational needs and upcoming technology projects. \"This is one of the holes we've had that I knew that someday we was gonna have to deal with,\" the sheriff said, adding the office manages \"a couple hundred computers, 16, 18 servers\" and will support projects including Southern Software and a Rapid DNA implementation funded by a grant.

The sheriff described the position as potentially requiring after-hours call-outs: \"it's a 24 hour position.\" Committee members discussed salary comparisons in other counties. The committee was told Craighead County lists a similar position at about $61,000 and that in larger Pulaski County, county office IT director positions run about $105,000 and the sheriff's IT position is about $120,000. Committee members noted Faulkner County is the fourth-largest county in Arkansas and the largest of the class 6 counties, creating limits on direct comparators; the reclassification draws from higher-class salary data because many class 6 counties outsource sheriff IT work.

After discussion, a committee member moved to forward the ordinance to Budget and Finance; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The committee chair announced, \"The ayes have it. We're forwarding proposed ordinance 25 15 to budget and finance.\" The measure will next be considered by Budget and Finance for potential placement on a future quorum/court agenda.

Questions raised during discussion included whether the proposed salary would disrupt parity across county departments; a committee member said the proposed pay would align the sheriff's IT manager \"to what Faulkner County for our county IT\" and would not throw other departments out of balance. The committee did not set a dollar figure in committee action; those salary details will be reviewed in Budget and Finance.","The Faulkner County Personnel Committee voted to forward Proposed Ordinance 25-15 to the Budget and Finance Committee. The ordinance would reclassify and raise pay for an IT position in the sheriff's office to align with county IT pay and support 24-hour operations and upcoming technology projects.","actionData","errors"]
