Court approves temporary funding to train incoming public health coordinator
Summary
The court discussed the planned retirement of the managing health coordinator and agreed to use contingency funds to pay for short-term overlap training for the new hire while staff confirm the precise amount needed.
Commissioners considered a personnel item regarding the managing health coordinator whose position will become vacant at the end of the month. The county judge said he had hired a replacement, Mary Stalls, effective March 17 (date provided by speaker) and asked the court to approve funding to allow the outgoing and incoming coordinators to work together so the new hire can receive training.
The county judge said the expected additional cost would be a few thousand dollars and suggested the contingency fund as a source: "We keep nickel down and out of it, but I'll reimburse them if you're okay," he said, asking for the court's approval to transfer contingency funds for the short-term training.
The nut graf: commissioners agreed that an overlap/training period is standard practice and that the contingency account or revenue transfers could cover a modest short-term training cost; staff will return with a specific dollar figure for formal approval.
Ending: The court took a motion and second to approve funding in principle; staff were directed to confirm the exact amount and formalize the transfer or reimbursement through standard budget procedures.
