Weston County approves hiring of Christy Lewis as full‑time fairgrounds manager
Summary
The Weston County Board of County Commissioners voted by voice to approve a recommendation to hire Christy Lewis as a full‑time county employee to fill the vacant fairgrounds/caretaker manager position.
Riley Hampton, identifying himself as a member of the Weston County board, moved on Dec. 3 that the commission follow a local board’s recommendation to hire Christy Lewis as the fairgrounds’ full‑time manager; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. "I'll make a motion ... to hire Christy Lewis as their new manager," Hampton said when presenting the recommendation.
The commission discussed that the position would be a county employee role and that, if hired, the appointee would need to step down from any conflicting board roles. Commissioners said the salary and funding fit within the coalition/board budget previously discussed and confirmed the county will treat the hire as a standard personnel appointment.
The action carries administrative next steps: human resources will complete onboarding and update payroll; the commission did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript, and no effective start date was stated at the meeting. Commissioners asked staff to report back if any related budget changes are required.
