The sheriff's representative (identified in the transcript as Chief Woolly) told the committee that a recent termination created a vacancy for the jail administrator position and that the county sought more experienced applicants. In a 2025 salary survey the sheriff's office found Faulkner County pays its jail administrators $69,500 while the class 6 county average is about $77,700. \"Out of all the class 6 counties, we are the largest detention facility as far as bed space,\" the chief said, and applicants told him the current pay was \"not enough for your size facility.\"

To increase competitiveness, the sheriff requested using a previously capped assistant jail administrator position and its capped salary of $5,163.60 to raise the jail administrator salary to about $74,063. The chief said that would still be below the class 6 average but would be more appealing to potential applicants.

The committee took a motion and second to send the ordinance 25-27 to budget and finance. The chair called the vote and said, \"All those in favor, please say aye. Aye.\" The committee did not record individual roll-call votes or a named tally in the transcript.

The sheriff's office will await budget committee review for authorization to reclassify and reallocate the capped funds.

No hiring action or final salary change was recorded at the committee meeting; the request was forwarded for budgetary consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","September 9, 2025 Personnel Committee Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The county sheriff requested a reclassification and partial salary increase for the jail administrator, moving capped funds from an assistant position to raise the salary; the Personnel Committee forwarded proposed ordinance 25-27 to budget and finance.","taxTitle","Faulkner County, Arkansas","taxId",9533,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6474168,"Committee approves funding line for full-time election coordinator position and sends ordinance 25-26 to budget committee",251,565000,816000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742479-171251cdd1dd2f05871b7df1f1c7b3e7&start=565&end=816","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742479-171251cdd1dd2f05871b7df1f1c7b3e7/thumbnail_565000.jpg","/articles/6474168/Faulkner-County/Arkansas/Committee-approves-funding-line-for-full-time-election-coordinator-position-and-sends-ordinance-25-26-to-budget-committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474168-5ba09522a5edfc43dd69a63e573a5537/orig.mp4?Expires=1775555638&Signature=gdtZmNubgrK~8fhMbj9jsEnR6I~tgvWI~BCwSKsjRPudfY6eVYBEWa75TI3ICyNCnucuhq0jpAreCrBD75UQs9hzgN2E7g4gIBh9RCRklQ0qG6RyzeNjvqO5pu3ckzpL3EFGPEDd2aRUoMhA2-geZyKO6t17MQhlkCLtcLYBcyBJdbEGFwvdBfigva9ouhMBhvjoBJAk40YKg-uWJuQc0EPFCI3pWgWR4jzc291vL5mzxA0HY4Jano6n-n1VZiuCOGWUPWHzTVtLraMwb20j3Y3oHHzhmBk0kv1NVL0FvEqvLrUIozPmKoqqR0ZRVDpmPNA9BY~cMuDUp40X7JdmaQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Faulkner County Personnel Committee voted to send proposed ordinance 25-26, which restores funding for a full-time election coordinator, to the budget and finance committee for consideration.

An elections official identified in the transcript as Miss Darter said the county previously funded a full-time election coordinator position in 2015 and that the role has been part-time since 2021 at the request of the last coordinator. With that employee's departure to the secretary of state's office, Miss Darter said the county needs a full-time coordinator ahead of a special election scheduled for Nov. 18. \"...to fill this quickly, I have an employee that can fill the row and and do the row, but they can only do it as a full time position,\" she said.

Miss Darter said she reviewed salaries for comparable class 6 counties and requested the position be funded at $58,000 annually, citing averages among peer counties. She told the committee that this year she will transfer funds between line items to cover the position for the remainder of the year and that about half of the salary will be new money in the next fiscal year, which is an election year.

Committee members recorded a motion and second to send the ordinance to budget and finance. The chair called the vote and said, \"All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Thank you.\" The ordinance will move to the budget and finance committee for a formal review of salary and funding transfers.

No roll-call or individual vote tallies were recorded in the committee transcript.","The committee voted to restore funding for a full-time election coordinator position and forwarded proposed ordinance 25-26 to the budget and finance committee for review of salary and funding transfers.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6474173,"Committee amends ordinance to add victim coordinator line item, forwards ordinance 25-25 to full court",396,79000,475000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742479-171251cdd1dd2f05871b7df1f1c7b3e7&start=79&end=475","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742479-171251cdd1dd2f05871b7df1f1c7b3e7/thumbnail_79000.jpg","/articles/6474173/Faulkner-County/Arkansas/Committee-amends-ordinance-to-add-victim-coordinator-line-item-forwards-ordinance-25-25-to-full-court","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474173-ed73faa5d8d527cd86af6ac51f41de83/orig.mp4?Expires=1775555638&Signature=fRXTD9XT8kBvLo76vz3c6bOpG6T9rFwqg4DpxVvOTi26xCN6AcJ6sBpTGhUpsxdiKiY-exVE7E31s5WsvS-P~F0zyz-98w-fov7kIqw5uDmpCiCNe3fzEex9JOps9ekTtIQxjUThiqes--jUAyN9VNSCzZFqqDlSIhXSZQVt~lqb4AlOvuo1KE4uOZRyz9VAJxtwJhrg5r4cQtsUxeMS45hFH0Aybv66bjLQfuGTpzGtCfEHZBWC2915wpRP~zmIakSdrkfiGbKX0ue7oN9JAMa9elvKUpErjrKxhnGvhRHoFqOhe1rJQZHBMT5WmP0HfgI8gqEos~e0WZ8H~UrIew__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Faulkner County Personnel Committee amended proposed ordinance 25-25 to create a permanent victim services position in the prosecuting attorney’s office and forwarded the ordinance to the full court for inclusion on the agenda.

Prosecuting Attorney Miss Cruz told the committee that her office has lost several victim services positions in recent years after cuts to VOCA (Victims of Crime Act) federal grant funding. \"We have really over the last 5 or 6 years sustained a lot of VOCA, victim of crimes, federal grant funding cuts over the years, and I have lost several positions in victim services,\" Miss Cruz said. She said the office still has remaining federal funds from a governor-released rescue plan and is not asking for immediate new county money: \"I don't need funding right now. I have some funding left over.\"

Miss Cruz asked the committee to create a job classification and line item so the position can be funded through the county budget process next year. She said the salary for the position was previously described in an earlier letter as roughly \"$43 and some change\" plus benefits and that the new position would match existing victim services classifications in the office. During committee discussion, a member asked whether the position's salary was listed in the budget book; county staff confirmed the line is at page 53, budget code 42328 for a victim coordinator.

The committee voted to amend the ordinance to include the victim coordinator line and then forwarded the amended ordinance to the full court. Committee members recorded the motion and the chair said, \"All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Ayes have it.\" The ordinance will return to the full court, and any funding allocation will be addressed through the county's budget process next year.

Miss Cruz also said the county remains engaged with the state prosecutors' association to pursue a legislative solution; she described the work as an effort to secure state funding for victim services but noted a bill had been filed and was not advanced this session.

No roll-call vote counts were recorded in the committee transcript.","The Personnel Committee amended proposed ordinance 25-25 to add a victim coordinator position for the prosecuting attorney's office and forwarded the ordinance to the full court; funding will be addressed in next year’s budget process.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":42,"_45":102,"_46":103,"_48":104,"_50":105,"_52":106,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":107,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":108,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6474178,"Personnel committee forwards Marcus Schuck museum board appointment to full court",46,46000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5742479-171251cdd1dd2f05871b7df1f1c7b3e7&start=0&end=46","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5742479-171251cdd1dd2f05871b7df1f1c7b3e7/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6474178/Faulkner-County/Arkansas/Personnel-committee-forwards-Marcus-Schuck-museum-board-appointment-to-full-court","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474178-731d3429d81d949fce4669aad7d9697f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775555638&Signature=CplWteQCwv66YD7XJICD0~Ib6nevGnR9e-CfJ-79PP8cM6XkczuFWBK5eGtufzFk0ggJ0WJ-oOW59U4~a~BFExgrSrTbARjWnSLho8CtAOd0YzlAXPviCQb880cldobx3LTUIpOJY13ef5xzvE6x1csxQQ9uyiPjtUTpfXKE-SUMR9QNQR17SztjkaQ4hFnmlnnUWlhxArh4VnP16Tux~1LLgGk~hwKnEw96llh2Vu4VA~QOoRZ8AeFEYos1AFU3ZJN7SzE9rWBBVAAZ8klG0MpG76xSEG4XBSJOgyc0F5Vkn4aTku0jYxpNx6QbrzyCfiCSvWzlUUR57kHwWp9zdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Faulkner County Personnel Committee voted Tuesday to forward the nomination of Marcus Schuck to the Faulkner County Museum Board to the full court for approval.
