Ways and Means Committee approves April 9 minutes and fills for senior account clerk and summer youth counselor

The Allegany County Ways and Means Committee on April 16 approved the minutes of its April 9 meeting and voted to permit several position fills that had been included in the 2025 budget.

The committee approved a motion to accept the April 9 minutes; Mrs. Root seconded and the motion carried on voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally for the minutes approval.

Employment and Training Program Director Bridal Sobek Lynch requested permission to fill one full-time senior account clerk typist position (grade 7, step not fully specified in the transcript). The director told the committee the annual salary for the position was estimated in the record to be between $38,000 and $46,030 and that funding is roughly 30% state and 70% federal funds; the director said the position was included in the 2025 budget. The committee moved and seconded the request and approved it on voice vote.

Sobek Lynch also requested permission to fill one full-time temporary summer youth employment training counselor position. The director stated the annual salary for that temporary position is estimated at $7,980, that it is 100% federally funded, and that it was included in the 2025 budget. The committee approved that request on voice vote; Mr. Havey seconded the motion.

A subsequent line in the record repeats a request to fill for the senior position as part of the same referral, which the clerk acknowledged as detail of the earlier request. No additional conditions, start dates, or hire names were provided in the transcript.

All personnel approvals were recorded as committee approvals on voice votes; no roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting transcript.
