The commissioners approved a staffing change for the county specialty court on Dec. 2.

Anna informed the court that a recently awarded grant provides funding to convert an existing part‑time peer support specialist position to full time. She said the position will remain within the current pay structure (core 2 pay grade) with a budgeted annual salary of $37,900. Commissioners asked whether the current part‑time employee would be offered the full‑time role; Anna confirmed the existing part‑time employee would take the position. The court moved and approved creation of the full‑time position and authorization to establish it in payroll.
