Highway superintendent wins approval to promote two drivers to operators; community crossings list to be reviewed
Summary
Rick Campbell reported snow operations, asked to promote two truck drivers to operator duties to align titles with work performed; commissioners approved the promotions and asked staff to review 2025 Community Crossings paperwork before final acceptance.
The Clinton County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 7 approved promotions for two highway department truck drivers to operator status and heard an update on Community Crossings paperwork for 2025.
Highway Superintendent Rick Campbell told the board crews began snow operations at 4 a.m. the previous day and worked through the night; he said the same crew returned to clear wind-blown snow the following morning.
Campbell asked that two employees be reclassified as operators because their regular duties already included operating boom mowers, graders and other heavy equipment. He identified the two employees as Jason (last name not specified in the transcript) and Hector Gavin and said the change would better align job titles with duties and pay scale. Campbell said the new classifications would increase the number of operators available to cover drag and other equipment needs.
Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to promote the two employees; the clerk recorded the outcome in the transcript as "Motion carries 2-0." The recorded vote did not list individual voter names.
Campbell also reported that the county received Community Crossings information for 2025 that morning. He asked County Engineer Tom to review the packet and bring acceptance to the next meeting; commissioners agreed to delay formal acceptance until staff review, noting a likely end-of-month deadline.
No public comment followed the highway report.
