Stevens County approves liquor-license renewal, contracts, and multiple personnel actions
Summary
Commissioners approved a liquor-license renewal, several professional service contracts for human services, and motions to accept resignations and authorize backfills for multiple positions.
At its regular meeting, the Stevens County Board approved routine consent items and several personnel and contract actions, including renewal of a liquor license, approval of human-services contracts, and authorization to fill vacant positions.
Key votes and approvals: - Palm Beach Terrace Golf Club: commissioners approved the renewal of the county liquor license after verifying certificates of workers’ compensation and liability insurance. - Child support officer contract: the board approved contracting with an interim child support officer from another county to fill a current vacancy on a temporary basis. - Two human-services training/service contracts: the board approved two related contracts to provide training and reflective supervision for human services supervisors and lead workers for an estimated combined cost of about $24,000 over 18 months; county staff said the 2025 budget can absorb the cost or reserves will be used. - Personnel actions: the board accepted the resignations of two county employees (Regina Lighthall, and Jenny Rose) and approved backfilling the child support officer vacancy and the human services supervisor position; the board also approved other routine hires presented at the meeting.
Why it matters: the actions maintain continuity of county services (child support and human services), fund capacity-building training for staff supervision and ensure compliance with insurance and licensing requirements for county-issued liquor licenses.
Votes were taken by voice; the motions carried as presented.
