Planning staff resigns; commission to clarify pay schedule and disclosure process
Summary
At its April meeting the Putnam County Planning Commission was informed that planning staff member Jenny Kidd has resigned and a replacement is scheduled to start April 21; commissioners also discussed variable pay timing for members and county financial-disclosure forms and agreed to ask finance about standardizing payouts (biannual proposed).
Commission leadership told members at the meeting that Planning Department staffer Jenny Kidd has resigned and that a replacement has been identified and is scheduled to begin on April 21.
"Miss Jenny Kidd has resigned, and she is moving on to a new career. We do have a replacement queued up, to start on April 21," a staff speaker said during new business. The commission was told that one of the Ashleys will be present to take minutes in the interim and that the incoming development review clerk will help with setup and forms.
Members raised questions about the timing of commissioner remuneration. One staff speaker said past payments have been variable and proposed standardizing the payout schedule; the commission agreed to check with county finance and the consensus on the floor favored paying members biannually (every six months). A commissioner characterized the payment as modest and joked about buying a tank of gas with the check.
The commission also discussed financial-disclosure filings and election supervisor notices. Members were told that the financial-disclosure form is now filed online and that notices should go out around July 1; staff said they will remind members when individual notices arrive.
The commission approved the March 12 meeting minutes later in the session.
No formal motions affecting department staffing or pay schedules were adopted at this meeting; staff said they would follow up with finance about pay timing and complete onboarding for the incoming clerk.
