Commissioners approve courthouse ADA door project and discuss detention‑center staffing changes
Summary
Fremont County approved an $11,000 project to add automatic door openers for courthouse doors and discussed several detention‑center staffing changes, including promotions and pay adjustments to be finalized after budget details are confirmed.
Fremont County commissioners approved a courthouse accessibility project and addressed facility and detention‑center staffing matters at Tuesday’s meeting.
Facilities: Commissioners heard from staff about building security and maintenance issues, including rekeying of several locks that left the mechanical master key out of sync with the new electronic locks. Staff said the master-key situation is a high priority to resolve. The board approved a motion to fund installation of automatic door openers for two courthouse doors and related electrical work, raising the project total to $11,000 to be paid from the capital revolving fund; the motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Detention staffing and pay: The board discussed filling a vacancy and moving personnel in the detention center. One figure cited in the meeting for a new or adjusted position was about $39,300 per year for a front-line position. Commissioners approved promotion and pay adjustments for an existing employee ('Vinny' was moved into a supervisory role at a higher pay step recorded in the transcript) and directed staff to return with precise numbers so payroll and budget entries can be verified.
What happens next: Facilities staff will coordinate the ADA door installation and associated electrical work; the county will record the pay changes and complete hiring steps once specific salary numbers are confirmed and budget checks completed.
