Fremont County approves hiring two full‑time motor‑vehicle property‑tax clerks at $39,400 each
Summary
The board approved hiring two full‑time motor‑vehicle property tax clerk I positions at a starting salary of $39,400 each to fill vacancies; the department head said the hires can start immediately and the budget can absorb the cost.
Jim, speaking to the Fremont County Board, said two strong candidates are available immediately to fill positions in the motor vehicle/property tax office and asked the commission to approve offering both candidates full‑time positions now rather than waiting for a part‑time retirement.
Why it matters: The department said one new hire who started in January resigned after about a week and another employee plans to retire in the coming months. Approving two full‑time hires now would temporarily increase the department’s headcount by one until the retiree leaves; the department head said he reviewed his budget and expected to remain within budget, including recent salary adjustments.
Key details: The commission approved hiring two motor‑vehicle property tax clerk I positions at a starting salary of $39,400 each. The position title specified in the meeting was “motor vehicle property tax clerk 1.” The hires were approved by motion and voice vote; the transcript records the motion, a second and a voice vote of approval but does not record names for the motion or second.
Vote and implementation: The motion passed by voice vote. The department head said he would contact the candidates and proceed with offers; the county will complete the standard onboarding and personnel paperwork and file certificates or other documentation in personnel files as required.
Ending: Commissioners approved the hires and the meeting proceeded to other reports.
