Sheriff’s office hires, election volunteer appointments and $42,000 election device grant announced
Summary
County staff reported several sheriff's office staffing changes and an approved $42,000 grant to purchase election machines; commissioners opened the item to approve election volunteer appointments for the next two years.
County staff reported personnel changes at the sheriff’s department and updates in the elections office, and the court reviewed appointments for election workers.
A sheriff’s representative reported multiple hires: a part‑time jail position to be filled by Jonathan Massey at $15 per hour replacing a prior employee, and other staffing changes related to prior departures. The sheriff’s staff described some moves from current positions and planned replacements but did not record a formal personnel vote in the transcript excerpt.
Separately, county elections staff asked the court to approve appointment and reappointment of election workers for the next two years; the presiding commissioner asked for a motion to approve the list of election measures. The court entertained a motion to approve the appointments. The transcript shows the motion being called for; a formal roll‑call tally is not captured in the available excerpt.
Elections staff also announced that the county had been approved for a $42,000 grant to purchase election machines. The staff member corrected an earlier figure from $4,200 to $42,000 and said the machines should arrive this week. The court did not record further budgetary action tied to the grant in the transcript excerpt.
