Des Moines County approves multiple personnel actions including corrections hires and step increases
Summary
The Board of Supervisors approved a package of personnel actions May 13, including new hires, resignations and step increases across the sheriff’s office and other county departments.
The Des Moines County Board of Supervisors approved multiple personnel actions at its May 13 meeting, including hires, resignations and step or anniversary pay increases in the sheriff’s office and other county departments.
County staff presented eight personnel items, which the board approved by motion. Actions included the hire of Mitchell Houston as a correctional officer (effective May 2, 2025) with a listed annual rate of $48,614.34; the resignation of a correctional officer who left after one day; anniversary and step increases for correctional officers and part-time cooks; and a promotion in the conservation department.
The nut graf: the personnel approvals update staffing and pay steps across county departments and formalize several hires and personnel-status changes. The board recorded roll-call affirmative votes for the package.
Among the items read into the record were: Brianna Teal, correctional officer, two-year anniversary step increase (new salary to $53,287.41); part-time cook Jessica Cahoon, hourly rate increase from $16.28 to $16.58; a new hire Roy Cochran, correctional officer (new rate $49,868.07); promotion of conservation technician Brian Havner with a listed new annual rate of $42,806.40; and adjustments in the auditor’s office, including a first-deputy adjustment to $67,091.06.
Supervisors moved to approve the personnel slate and recorded affirmative votes. The board did not attach additional conditions or direct supplemental budget approvals during the meeting; all items were processed as administrative personnel actions.
