Prosecutor asks board to hire crime victim coordinator but no motion taken
Summary
The prosecutor's office requested hiring a crime victim coordinator at Grade 13 Step 3 citing 25 years of experience for the candidate; the board heard the request but no motion was made and no formal action occurred.
The Franklin County prosecutor’s office presented a request to hire a crime victim coordinator at Grade 13 Step 3, citing the candidate’s 25 years of relevant experience and prior county employment. "We are requesting to bring in a crime victim coordinator at a grade 13 step 3," Mr. Briggs said during the presentation.
Nut graf: Prosecutor’s staff said the requested hiring step reflects the candidate’s experience, and that filling the vacancy at that step would not increase budget costs because the outgoing position was at a higher step. Commissioners asked questions about tenure and current classification but did not move the item to a vote.
Briggs told the board the candidate brings experience working as a federal court clerk and prior county service, and that the outgoing position was at Grade 13 Step 5. "So the calculations that we have on hand, I think the savings are about $2,100," Briggs said.
Commissioners asked whether the person is a current county employee and whether the candidate is a new hire; Briggs said the candidate is a new hire and that the requested placement at Step 3 reflects experience beyond entry level. No motion was made on the resolution authorizing the hire, and the item was not approved during the meeting.
Ending: Because the board did not move or vote on the resolution, no formal hiring authorization was recorded at this meeting. Staff and the prosecutor’s office may return the item for future consideration.
