Summary
After returning from executive session, the Grimes County Commissioners Court voted to extend an employment offer to Ms. Bumpus to begin in March as the county Emergency Management Services coordinator at an annual salary of $66,000, and authorized the auditor to use contingency funds to cover the salary.
After returning from an executive session, the Grimes County Commissioners Court voted to extend an employment offer to Ms. Bumpus to serve as Grimes County Emergency Management Services coordinator beginning in March at an annual salary of $66,000, the court said.
The position is being filled following the announced retirement of David Lilly, the countys Emergency Management Services coordinator. An unidentified commissioner moved the hire, saying, "Judge, I'd move to extend an employment offer to Ms. Bumpus, to begin employment on March at a salary of $66,000 as the emergency management coordinator." The motion was seconded.
Commissioner Cox then amended the motion to authorize the county auditor to make necessary funding available from the county's contingency fund to cover the $66,000 salary. Commissioner Cox stated, "In addition to the original motion, I'd amend that whatever is needed to make the salary 66,000, that allow the auditor to make those necessary changes from contingency." The court voted on the amended motion; the presiding judge called for the ayes, members responded and the motion carried. No opposing votes were voiced on the record.
The court took the hire after an executive session in which the board discussed replacing Lilly; no further details about the hiring timeline beyond "begin[ning] in March" were provided in the public record. The court adjourned shortly after the vote.
