Commission work session includes multiple personnel requests and routine departmental items
Summary
The commission reviewed multiple personnel items — including a request to hire a retired deputy part time, an animal-control hire and a parks payroll removal — plus road‑department position fills and a dump‑truck financing advertisement request; most will return as formal resolutions.
Chilton County commissioners handled a series of routine personnel and departmental requests during the work session and asked staff to place the items on the consent agenda or prepare formal resolutions for the next regular meeting.
Personnel items on the docket included a request from a commissioner to hire retired deputy Rocky Mims as a part‑time deputy sheriff (Speaker 2 noted "He's he's a 25 year veteran that just retired on us, and he's wanting to come back to work part time"). Park and Recreation staff requested a resolution to remove Kevin Smithman from payroll effective later in November (Donald Giles, Speaker 5). Animal‑control staff (Christina, Speaker 10) requested a resolution to hire Tara Green as a full‑time animal‑care specialist effective Nov. 26.
Road‑department staffing and procurement: Heath Sexton (Road Department) asked permission to fill two positions — Demetrius Parker, equipment operator II, and Mason Owsley, road worker — effective Dec. 1, and to advertise a lease‑purchase financing agreement for eight new dump trucks as part of the department’s rotation.
Other items: Commission office staff discussed nominations for the Chilton‑Clanton Library Board and the DHR board; staff also described a plan to interplead excess bid funds with the Chilton County circuit clerk to remove the county from an active lawsuit.
Next steps: Commissioners asked staff to prepare formal resolutions and the necessary consent‑agenda language; no final votes were held on these items during the work session.
