Commissioners allow assessor's office to replace staff amid heavy workload
Summary
Sheridan County commissioners approved a motion July 28 allowing the assessor's office to replace a recently vacated position, citing increased workloads tied to homeowner-exemption processing and recent staff departures.
Sheridan County commissioners voted July 28 to permit the assessor's office to replace personnel after the office reported recent departures and a significant workload related to homeowner-exemption processing.
Paul Hall, chairman and county assessor, told the board his office had lost additional staff and faces a high volume of work this year—he cited roughly 9,000 property owners who will need contact regarding homeowner exemptions. He asked that the hiring freeze be lifted so his office could restore capacity.
A commissioner moved that the assessor's office be allowed to replace personnel; another commissioner seconded the motion. The board discussed staffing needs briefly, heard assurances that the requested position was budgeted, and approved the replacement.
The outcome: the assessor's office may proceed to fill the authorized position. The board did not provide a public roll-call tally in the transcript; the chair announced the motion passed.
