Summary

The sheriff asked the commission to approve resolutions hiring three corrections officers and reclassifying an employee to a full-time IT investigator; the request was presented but no vote was recorded.

The sheriff told the Chilton County Commission he will ask for a resolution to hire three corrections officers—Ashley Blackman, Matthew Simpson and Desiree Sydney—and to reclassify Matthew Griffin as a full-time IT investigator.

"I'll be asking for a resolution to hire corrections officer[s]," the sheriff said, listing the names and noting one full-time correction officer position was vacant because an employee took another job.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about Griffin's prior assignment and certification; the sheriff said Griffin is now serving in Clanton and is APO (post) certified.

The sheriff presented the request as an item to be resolved by a future formal vote; no vote on the hires was recorded in the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.
