Lucas County commissioners approved five personnel appointments at the Department of Job and Family Services during their Aug. 12 meeting.

Brian Kenny of Human Resources requested approval for the appointments of Christina Myers, Kelly Stone Click, Dakota Bick, Tana Savage Riley and Michelle Peters to fill vacant full-time, permanent bargaining-unit Eligibility Specialist II positions at the Department of Job and Family Services. The starting compensation for each position was set at $19.50 per hour, and each appointee will serve the probationary period required by the collective bargaining agreement.

A motion to approve was made and the clerk recorded affirmative votes. The meeting minutes noted the appointments and starting compensation but did not list individual start dates.

Commissioners recessed for and returned from executive session earlier in the agenda to discuss personnel matters related to appointments; the resulting action on appointments was taken in open session.
