Commission approves several full-time hires for parks, facilities and assessor's office
Summary
The commission approved multiple new full‑time positions and transfers: maintenance hires for Camp Muffley and Mason Dixon Historical Park, a custodial supervisor transfer, and a land book deputy in the assessor's office.
Monongalia County commissioners approved several personnel actions at the Feb. 26 meeting, confirming hires and a transfer across parks, facilities and the assessor’s office.
The commission approved Kenneth Barber as a full‑time maintenance worker for Camp Muffley Park at $15 per hour (benefits eligible), and Kevin Hooten as a full‑time maintenance worker at Mason Dixon Historical Park at $15 per hour. Commissioners also approved a transfer for Harry Jack Eldred to serve as custodial supervisor (annual salary noted as $38,000, start March 1), described by staff as a new position coordinating janitorial staff and contracted services across county buildings.
Patrick (assessor) requested approval to hire Levon Weber as a transfer land book deputy to replace Melissa Perkins; Weber’s start date was listed as March 1 with a 90‑day introductory period. Each appointment received a motion, second and unanimous voice vote.
Commissioners described the custodial supervisor role as a working supervisor who will perform cleaning duties and supervise contracted janitorial staff to improve cleanliness and consistency across county facilities.
The hires were presented by department supervisors and county staff during the personnel section of the agenda. No budget‑related objections were raised at the meeting; the county noted the positions are benefit‑eligible and include standard introductory periods where stated.
