Coos County approves multiple reclassifications in clerk’s office and public health
Summary
The Board approved personnel reclassifications covering a public-health WIC position and three County Clerk office roles, effective Aug. 1, 2025 for the clerk positions and retroactive July 1, 2025 for the WIC change, with associated pay-grade adjustments and resolution signings.
Coos County commissioners on a unanimous vote approved several personnel reclassifications affecting the County Clerk’s Office and the public-health WIC program.
The largest group of actions came from County Clerk Julie (County Clerk), who asked the board to approve updated job descriptions and pay-grade reclassifications for three clerk-office positions to reflect added duties after a staffing reduction. The board approved: reclassifying the chief deputy recorder position to pay grade 7-80, effective Aug. 1, 2025 (resolution cited in the meeting); renaming and reclassifying the lead elections deputy to lead election analyst, moving the position from pay grade 4-20 to 4-21, effective Aug. 1, 2025; and reclassifying an elections position to “election and recording specialist,” moving that job from pay grade 4-16 to 4-17, effective Aug. 1, 2025.
Julie said the reclassifications reflect added responsibilities after the clerk’s office lost a full-time recorder position and that staff are being cross-trained to cover recording and elections work ahead of the September primary and November election. The board moved and seconded each item and recorded aye votes for approval.
Separately, the board approved a personnel action in Public Health to reclassify a WIC position to an A2 classification retroactive to July 1, 2025. The county identified the action by a resolution number during the meeting.
Why it matters: Commissioners said the changes align pay and titles with actual duties following a staff reduction in the clerk’s office and will keep elections operations staffed and cross-trained ahead of the upcoming election season.
The board recorded motions and approvals for each item and authorized the chair to sign the associated resolutions.
Ending: The personnel approvals were taken as part of the consent and regular agenda items; the board moved on to other procurement and funding items after the votes.
