Court approves one-time waiver to speed hiring for budget officer after executive session
Summary
After executive session, the Hays County Commissioners Court approved a one-time waiver of a six-calendar-month waiting period for retiree rehires and a two-week job-posting requirement related to salary exceptions to allow appointment or hiring of a new budget officer.
Following executive session pursuant to Texas Government Code sections 551.071 and 551.074, the Hays County Commissioners Court voted to approve a one-time waiver of county personnel rules to facilitate filling the budget officer position.
Commissioner Smith moved to approve a one-time waiver of section 2 a 1 1 8 of the county's personnel policy relating to the six-calendar-month waiting period for retiree rehires and to waive the county’s two-week job posting requirement as it relates to salary exceptions for the hiring or appointment of a new budget officer until the position is filled. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call vote with Commissioners Cohen, Smith, Inglesby, Hammer and County Judge Becerra voting yes.
The court made clear the waiver applies only to this specific hiring effort while the position remains open; no further personnel actions or salary specifics were taken in open court at the meeting. The executive session items cited in open court were H-1 (consultation and deliberation regarding the employment and duties of the county administrator) and H-2 (consultation and deliberation regarding appointment, employment, reassignment and duties of the budget officer).
