Parish paperwork: reclassification proposed for office manager as longtime staff retire
Summary
Officials told the jury that Renee Dupree is retiring and asked the jury to reclassify Shelley Granger Medlock from accountant to office manager. Jurors also discussed letters of appreciation for Dupree and other long‑service staff.
A personnel reclassification and long‑service recognitions were on the Dec. 11 Cameron Parish Police Jury agenda.
An elected official told jurors that Renee Dupree, the parish office manager for 40 years, is retiring effective in January and asked the jury to reclassify Shelley Granger Medlock from an accountant position to office manager. The speaker said the change is a reclassification required by parish policy and that it does not alter the budget line in the current schedule.
Jurors moved and seconded the reclassification request for consideration; the transcript records the motion being made and seconded but does not include an on‑the‑record roll‑call or voice vote immediately following the motion. Jurors also discussed preparing letters of appreciation for Dupree, Renee Labove (about 30 years of service) and Debbie Heard (about 15–20 years), and staff volunteered to deliver recognition.
The reclassification was described to the jury as administrative (policy‑level) and not a budget amendment. The clerk and staff noted the paperwork should follow the parish’s personnel review policies.
If the jury later formalizes the change, staff said the role will take on management duties already assumed by Shelley Granger Medlock and will be recorded in the personnel schedule.
