Summary
The board approved a resolution appointing a county appraiser for a four‑year term, approved a hire and promoted two appraisal staff, and accepted a corrected personal property recertification.
McPherson County commissioners on June 30 appointed a county appraiser and approved personnel actions in the county appraiser’s office, including a new hire and a promotion.
Stacy Harbord, identified in the meeting as county appraiser, requested approval to hire Caitlin Parker as a Field Appraiser in Training. Harbord said, “I am requesting for a new hire. Her name is Caitlin Parker. She would start at a 9 a, Fields field appraiser in training would be her job description.” Commissioners approved the PCN and personnel request with an effective date provided in the personnel paperwork.
Harbord also requested a promotion for Jennifer Plantanga from Field Appraiser 1 to Field Appraiser 2, which Harbord said would move her from a 10 d to a 12 d pay step. The board approved that promotion effective July 6, 2025.
Commissioners also considered a resolution to appoint the county appraiser to a four‑year term. The meeting referenced resolution number 2025‑11 for that appointment. The board voted on the resolution and recorded votes: “Chairman Becker. I. Commissioner Keiser. I. Commissioner Adele. I.” The chair announced, “Resolution 2025Dash11 is approved.”
Staff reported a recertification of personal property to correct a prior mathematical error; Harbord said the corrected filing had been resubmitted.
