Commission approves senior center and sheriff department hires and resignations
Summary
The commission approved multiple personnel actions: the resignation of James Ratcliffe and hiring of Susan Barnes at the senior center, and sheriff's payroll changes including the resignation of Jackie Adey and hire of Katherine Shepherd.
On July 15 the Osage County Commission approved several personnel actions for county departments, including the senior center and sheriff’s office.
During public business, Clerk Michelle Morris presented a personal payroll action form documenting the resignation of James Ratcliffe; commissioners approved the resignation. The commission then approved hiring Susan Barnes as a full‑time driver/dispatcher in the transportation department at a rate of $16.25 per hour and indicated the new hire would be cross‑trained into other senior center duties.
Separately, the commission amended the agenda to add sheriff payroll changes. Commissioners approved a status payroll change recording the resignation of Jackie Adey effective July 25 and approved hiring Katherine Shepherd effective July 14 at a rate of $19.75 per hour. The sheriff’s staffing items were moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
