County approves two hiring-exemption requests for auditor's office and horticultural board
Summary
Franklin County commissioners approved exempting the Horticultural Pest and Disease Board from the county hiring freeze and authorized the auditor's office to promote one employee and backfill the resulting vacancy; both motions passed by voice vote.
Franklin County commissioners voted to allow two personnel actions during a night meeting, approving separate motions to exempt the Horticultural Pest and Disease Board from the county hiring freeze and to permit the auditor's office to promote an internal employee and hire a backfill.
A commissioner moved to exempt the horticultural board—whose seasonal positions are funded through an orchard assessment, not the county's current-expense budget—and the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Minutes show commissioners recorded "aye" on the motion.
The board then considered an auditor's office request to move an employee internally and fill the vacated position. Commissioners approved the personnel actions by voice vote; the motions were presented as operational necessities to meet workload and court-related demands raised in correspondence from the Office of Public Defense.
No roll-call tallies were recorded in the public minutes; the motions were handled by voice vote with commissioners in attendance. The board instructed staff to add formal agenda items if additional approvals are needed and to present any required job descriptions or contract details in a future meeting.
