Saline County commissioners approve personnel policy updates, administrator job description and code amendment
Summary
The Saline County Board of Commissioners approved a package of personnel policy revisions, a revised county administrator job description and a code amendment removing the job description from county code. Approvals were unanimous; several items were presented by Human Resources and the county administrator.
Saline County commissioners on June 3 approved a set of personnel policy updates, a revised county administrator job description and a related change to county code.
The actions were taken as part of the meeting’s consent and action items. Marilyn Lamer, Saline County human resources director, told commissioners the packet included redlines and that most changes were minor language updates; one substantive change left the definition of “excessive absenteeism” to individual departments. Lamer said staff recommended approval.
The board voted to: approve the revised personnel policies (listed as RFA 2025-69), adopt an updated county administrator job description (RFA 2025-70) and adopt a code revision (RFA 2025-71, resolution 25-2426) that removes a detailed job description from county code and references a job description maintained by Human Resources. County Administrator Philip Smith Haines described the code change as “cleanup” aligning the code with current practice and the HR-maintained job description.
All votes on the items were recorded as carried following the board’s standard “all in favor, say aye” procedure.
Why it matters: the personnel policy updates and the job description change affect recruitment, succession planning and the administrative authority structure used in future hiring and management of county employees. Commissioners emphasized that the revisions help bring county documents into alignment with current operations.

(No named dissent.) - RFA 2025-70 — County administrator job description: Motion approved unanimously. - RFA 2025-71 / Resolution 25-2426 — Amend county code to reference HR‑maintained job description: Motion approved unanimously.
What’s next: Human Resources and county staff will maintain and publish the updated job description and policy documents and proceed with any recruitment or internal actions consistent with the new materials.
