Pulaski County commissioners approved advertising a network administrator position and agreed to allocate an additional $110,000 (IT 110) to cover wages and benefit costs associated with that hire.
The motion to add the network administrator and to budget the additional IT wage/benefit package passed on a voice vote after a motion and second. Commissioners indicated the position would be for a 35-hour workweek if the county fills it; staff said details on hiring would follow.
One commissioner noted that the county had previously contracted some IT services and discussed whether a full-time hire was necessary; the motion approved the advertising and the uplifted wage package so the county would have flexibility to recruit and hire if it determines a full-time position is preferable.
No final hire was made at the meeting; the action authorizes advertising the position and budgeting the funds for recruitment and potential wages and benefits.
