Commissioners discuss formalizing deputy administrator stipend; decision tabled
Summary
Commissioners discussed establishing a formal stipend for an acting deputy administrator to provide succession and continuity during administrator absences, but they tabled action pending a defined policy, job description and dollar amount.
Commissioners discussed creating a formal stipend for a deputy administrator or a designated backup to the county administrator during extended absences or vacancies.
Staff noted the county lacks a written policy for compensation when an employee assumes acting duties; historically, small weekly stipends have been used on a case‑by‑case basis. Commissioners explored whether the role should be an additional title assigned to an existing position, tied to a small weekly stipend, and whether the arrangement should be a permanent job description or a temporary assignment when needed.
Commissioners requested a formal proposal that defines the duties, a recommended stipend amount, and whether the position is an add‑on or a modified job description for an existing employee. Because no dollar amount or job description was available at the meeting, the board tabled the item for a future discussion and possible action after staff prepares formal recommendations.
