Board approves multiple hires, authorizes two appraiser hires and signs county counselor contract
Summary
After executive sessions, commissioners approved several personnel and organizational moves: hiring an equipment operator, approving two appraiser hires, signing the county counselor contract, moving GIS under the appraiser's office and reassigning the county marina to economic development.
Linn County commissioners approved a series of personnel and organizational changes during their April 14 meeting following executive‑session deliberations.
The board voted to hire Joseph Maxfield as an equipment operator (non‑CDL) on the county pay matrix at pay grade 7c with an hourly rate of $17.039, subject to pre‑employment screening and a fit‑for‑duty physical.
In executive session the commissioners also approved advertising and recruitment for two new positions in the appraiser's office to replace retirements. Commissioners voted to allow the appraiser's office to hire two new employees to add field staff.
The board signed the county counselor contract for Jacqueline Faletta (county counselor) as written, and directed administrative changes to reporting lines: moving GIS mapping under the appraiser's department for supervisory and job‑evaluation purposes. Commissioners also moved the Linn County Marina and Park to the supervision of the Economic Development director, effective immediately.
All personnel actions and organizational changes were approved by motions recorded in the meeting after the board returned from executive session; the motions were seconded and passed by voice vote.
Ending: County staff will process onboarding tasks and update affected department budgets and supervisory charts as needed; HR and legal will manage contract execution and job evaluation steps.
