Summary
The board approved budget amendment number 1 to fund a county position using appropriated fund balance; the manager said the new HR director will begin next week and staff will advertise the newly funded position.
Caswell County commissioners approved budget amendment number 1 on July 21, adding $50,000 to the current fiscal year budget to fund an intended personnel position. County staff said the appropriation will come from appropriated fund balance and that vacancy savings should cover the cost by the end of the fiscal year.
Finance staff told the board the position had been intended to be included in the last budget but was left out and is now being added via this amendment. The county manager said the new human-resources director is expected to begin "next Monday" (a date referenced in the meeting but not explicitly stated on the public record) and that the amendment will allow recruitment and onboarding work to begin immediately.
Commissioner Rose moved to approve the budget amendment and Commissioner Totten seconded; the board approved the motion. Finance staff confirmed they will advertise the newly funded position once the appropriation is in place. The manager said the amendment was timed so the incoming HR director would have a funded position to manage and to facilitate immediate work on county staffing.
