Perry County meeting: motion made to fill recorder office vacancy after retirement

A Perry County staff member said the recorder's office seeks to fill a part-time vacancy created after a part-time employee was promoted to full time and another employee, Jane, announced her retirement.

The staff member said the full-time move was to allow the speaker to move into the recorder position and that one of the part-time workers will be promoted to full time. The staff member said, "It's paid out of recorded perpetuation." A motion was made to allow Flower to fill the resulting part-time vacancy and was seconded; the transcript does not specify the final vote on that motion.

During discussion commissioners asked about hours and comp time for perpetuation work. The staff member said some perpetuation work had required coming in early and that comp time exists for those hours. No further specifics about hours, salary, or formal approval language appear in the recorded excerpt.

The item was raised as an action following an earlier request at a prior meeting to fill the full-time recorder position upon Jane's retirement.
