Benton County moves employee to salaried exempt role, approves summer intern for county attorney
Summary
The Benton County Board approved Resolution 25‑41 to change Dawn Marklin’s classification from hourly (union) to an exempt salaried position and approved Resolution 25‑42 to authorize a summer internship in the County Attorney’s office for Preetl Patel. Both measures passed unanimously.
Benton County supervisors voted unanimously to change one employee’s classification and to approve a summer internship in the County Attorney’s office.
On Resolution 25‑41 the board moved Dawn Marklin from an hourly position to an exempt, salaried role. The measure was brought before the board as an administrative personnel change to reflect Marklin’s non‑union status and to switch her pay structure from hourly to salary. The board voted Tippett, aye; Seaman, aye; Bowles, aye.
The board also approved Resolution 25‑42 to place Preetl Patel in an internship with the County Attorney’s office for the upcoming summer. A motion to approve the resolution passed with Tippett, aye; Seaman, aye; Bowles, aye.
Both items were presented as routine personnel actions; staff advised the board that no additional signatures were required to recognize the union memorandum related to personnel provisions that the county had already accepted. No further conditions or contested amendments were recorded on the floor.
The actions formally change Marklin’s pay classification and authorize the County Attorney’s office to host the named intern for the summer; the board did not attach any additional budget amendments or implementation deadlines to either resolution during the meeting.
The board is scheduled to reconvene on its next regular meeting to continue routine county business.
