Summary
During a concurrent salary-board session after the commissioners' meeting, Greene County approved multiple personnel actions including reclassifications, hires, promotions, pay increases and separations across human services, CYS, transportation, jail, judicial and other departments.
The Greene County salary board met immediately after the commissioners' session on Jan. 30 and approved a broad set of personnel actions across departments, including reclassifications, hirings, resignations, terminations, promotions and multiple pay increases.
Human services items included the reclassification of Dorothea Adams from Secretary 2 to Secretary 3 (effective Dec. 14, 2024) and approval of the resignation of a supports/coordinator position effective Feb. 2, 2025. The board recorded the retirement of John Fox as drug and alcohol administrator effective Jan. 3, 2025, including payment of applicable leave balances and a $6,000 severance as listed in the meeting materials. The board then approved the promotion of Heather Yeager to drug and alcohol administrator, management pay grade 11, at a listed annual salary of $63,380.03 effective Jan. 6, 2025.
Children and Youth Services (CYS) and related human-services attorney positions were updated: the board approved hirings for Jessica Phillips and Tim Ross as attorneys at $27,500 per year (effective Jan. 1, 2025) and enacted multiple caseworker pay increases for staff meeting probation or management milestones.
Transportation and jail staffing actions included a temporary 2.5% pay increase for Rebecca Carter (transportation operations coordinator) for duties performed while a supervisor was on extended leave, and multiple hires for corrections officers at $17.75/hour effective Jan. 27, 2025. The board also approved terminations and resignations as presented in meeting materials.
Judicial and administrative items included reclassifications and merit/step increases across magisterial and county positions, a 5% salary increase for several District Attorney office staff members (with listed annual salaries), and pay-grade adjustments and 5% first-year management pay increases for the treasurer and tax-claim director positions.
The actions were taken largely without extended discussion and carried by voice vote. The meeting record shows names of the employees affected (hirees, retirees, reclassified employees) and effective dates; the transcript records motions and seconds but often does not name the mover and seconder for each item.
Ending The salary board completed the listed personnel approvals and moved on; no public comment was recorded during this portion of the session.
