Jackson County supervisors voted April 22 to approve a conditional offer for Keith Nims to fill the vacancy as secondary road shop foreman, with a start date of May 12, 2025.
Becky (county HR/roads staff) told the board the hiring panel, which included a shop foreman from Clinton County, interviewed candidates and made a unanimous recommendation. The motion the board approved specified a starting salary of $71,000 and noted an increase after successful completion of a six-month probationary period. The auditor was authorized to issue biweekly paychecks for the position.
The board welcomed Nims and asked staff to introduce him after his start date.
Why it matters: The position is the county’s secondary road shop foreman, a key operations role for road maintenance. Filling the vacancy restores operational capacity ahead of the busy construction season.
Vote: Motion to approve the conditional offer carried by voice vote.
