Effingham commissioners approve animal protection staffing updates, create transportation-engineer role
Summary
The board approved new job titles and descriptions for Animal Protection and Control services as staff succession planning, and authorized posting for a transportation engineer to support county engineering and stormwater work.
On Dec. 16 the Effingham County Board of Commissioners approved new job titles and job descriptions for Animal Protection and Control services and authorized a transportation engineer job description to be advertised.
Sarah Malzoff, director of human resource services, briefed the board that Animal Protection and Control leadership is preparing for a planned retirement by the longtime supervisor, Lorna Shelton, and that two internal staff members are proposed for the new positions. "She has 2 staff members that she would like to put up for these 2 jobs that we are asking for permission," Malzoff said, and requested permission to publish the new job titles and descriptions.
Malzoff also presented a transportation engineer job title to increase technical capacity in county engineering, noting that the engineering department has two staff members but rising stormwater and capital-project workloads make an additional position necessary. County engineer Jonathan Holm confirmed the new role would report to the county engineer and help prevent road projects from falling behind.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved both personnel actions by voice vote. Staff said the transportation engineer position will be advertised and that hiring will follow standard HR procedures; animal-protection staffing transitions will be managed with succession planning.
