Lycoming County approves multiple personnel actions, hires and reclassifications
Summary
The county’s salary board and commissioners approved several personnel changes: multiple hires (conditional on background checks), deletions and additions to staffing rosters, reclassifications and pay-grade adjustments across departments including public safety, RMS, controller's office and juvenile probation.
Lycoming County’s salary board and Board of Commissioners approved a set of personnel actions on May 20, 2025, that included hires, deletions, part-time additions, reclassifications and pay-grade adjustments across multiple departments.
The controllers’ office reported two hires: Noah Hunt as Accountant I (full time) and (through the district attorney’s office) Zoe Stauffenberg as a grant-funded adult victim-witness coordinator. The salary board approved deletion of one clerk 4 position in Planning and Community Development and reclassification of an administrative coordinator to nonexempt status. Resource Management Services (RMS) deleted one full-time equipment operator and added two part-time equipment operator positions. The Department of Public Safety added a part-time Telecommunicator II; the controller’s office removed a part-time accountant position from the TDA and took an Accountant I off hold while reclassifying that role to a lower pay grade (a reduction referenced in the discussion but with a path for advancement).
Conditional offers of employment were presented for several hires subject to background checks: Alexander Hafner, Telecommunicator II (part time), Michael Poorman and David Cotner, part-time equipment operators, and Matthew Meniere as acting chief juvenile probation officer (full time) with an adjustment date noted. The motions to accept the personnel actions were made, seconded and recorded as approved by voice vote at the meeting.
Commissioners discussed retention concerns and career progression for county accountants, noting paths for advancement and competition for accounting staff in the private sector.
