Griggs County hires new courthouse custodian; commission approves $20 hourly starting wage
Summary
The commission approved hiring Chad Johnson as the courthouse custodian at $20 per hour with a 6-month review and an agreed future $1 raise after six months. The start date was given during the meeting and the motion carried on a voice vote with one recorded dissent.
The Griggs County Commission voted to hire Chad Johnson as a courthouse maintenance/custodial employee with a starting wage of $20 per hour. Commissioners recorded that the hire included a 6-month review with an additional $1-per-hour increase after the six-month period.
Meeting materials showed a cleaning and maintenance schedule for the old and new courthouse that county staff said Johnson would follow and refine after starting. County staff said Johnson’s first day was scheduled for the week identified in the meeting (recorded in the packet as “the 20 ninth” / discussion clarified as the 20th of the month), and they described an initial orientation and a plan to have existing mowing contractors continue another week to allow Johnson to get settled.
During discussion commissioners and staff said maintenance work will include routine HVAC filter checks on nine units, mini-split head filter care, generator startup/inspection checks and periodic cleaning and maintenance tasks that Johnson will familiarize himself with in the first weeks. Commissioners also asked that department heads help demonstrate systems such as the generator and building systems to the new employee.
The motion to hire — moved and seconded during the meeting — passed on a voice vote. The roll call as recorded in the meeting minutes showed the motion carried with a majority of ayes and one recorded nay. County staff will finalize hiring paperwork and schedule an orientation and walkthrough with department leads.
