Delaware County HR reports 130 employees, 13 open positions; county establishes Pump Act stations
Summary
Human Resources Director Vicki Cossairt told commissioners the county employs 130 people, has 13 open positions and is setting up stations to comply with the Pump Act. She said nine people will begin a 56-hour CDL training and raised concerns about new pregnancy-related leave legislation.
Human Resources Director Vicki Cossairt told the Delaware County Board of County Commissioners on June 24 that the county currently employs 130 people and has 13 open positions, with equipment operators and detention officers among the roles still needed.
Cossairt said nine people will soon begin a 56-hour commercial driver’s license course that the county is supporting. She reported that stations have been set up in the sheriff’s office and on the courthouse second floor to bring the county into compliance with the state law referred to in the minutes as the Pump Act.
Cossairt also noted recently enacted pregnancy-related leave legislation that ‘‘extends the time a new parent may use FMLA and provides more employee protection,’’ and said the law ‘‘may have to be challenged in court,’’ language recorded in the minutes.
The board voted to hear the HR report; that motion carried unanimously. No formal personnel actions were taken at the meeting; the report was informational and recorded in the minutes for follow-up.
