Human Resources seeks approval to fill multiple positions; county schedules executive sessions on personnel and bargaining
Summary
Human Resources requested authorization to fill a GIS specialist in Public Works, a Corrections work-crew officer and the resulting sergeant vacancy after an internal transfer; HR scheduled two executive sessions for performance of a public employee and collective bargaining.
Jessica Warren, human-resources director, presented staffing requests and executive-session scheduling. Public Works asked to fill a vacant GIS specialist after an employee resignation. Corrections requested to move a current sergeant into an open work-crew officer position and to backfill the now-vacant sergeant slot; the sergeant would accept a lower pay step to transfer into a less-stressful role.
Warren described recruitment details for corrections and noted statutory background checks: "We have to do a full background because of state law. It's for how hiring goes for corrections and law enforcement. So, polygraph, psychological evaluation, full full background..." She also said a lateral corrections applicant from a neighboring county was being processed through a full background and certification checks.
Warren asked the board to authorize posting and fill actions; the board agreed to go into two executive sessions (one for performance of a public employee and one for collective bargaining), estimating about 20 minutes. The county later extended the executive session multiple times; upon returning, commissioners said no decisions had been rendered publicly from the session.
Commissioners approved internal hiring practices and requested the formal personnel actions be included on the next consent agenda for formal action.
