Board agrees to pay‑grade 19 for new Conservation Director; HR to post position
Summary
After HR and the conservation board revised the job description, supervisors agreed to set the new Conservation Director position at pay grade 19 (above the SAFE score recommendation of 18) to align market and compensation comparisons and remain competitive for candidates.
The Board reviewed an updated job description for a new Conservation Director and a compensation recommendation from county HR. HR presented a SAFE (job evaluation) score of 18 for the position and external market data showing comparable positions at grade 19.
Human Resources staff told the board they had worked with the Conservation Board and department staff to revise the job description and to evaluate market compensation. HR recommended either the SAFE score (18) or the market‑aligned grade (19). Supervisors asked HR to advise on internal equity and consistency with previous director‑level pay decisions.
After discussion supervisors reached consensus to place the Conservation Director position on pay grade 19 and to post the job so the county can recruit candidates. HR will post the position and proceed with recruitment consistent with county hiring procedures.
Ending: The revised Conservation Director job description and pay‑grade assignment (grade 19) will be included on the formal agenda for final action and HR will post the position after formal approval.
