Summary

The commission approved hiring McGrath to conduct a market and compensation study (approx. $25,000 total; $19,000 supplement requested) and unanimously authorized courthouse administrative leave on Christmas Eve from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.

The Lincoln County Commission approved two administrative items during the meeting.

Human Resources director Carrie Allen proposed hiring McGrath to perform a market and compensation study focused on existing job titles and benefits. The total cost is approximately $25,000; the commission approved a supplemental request of about $19,000 to fund the remainder after reallocating a previously budgeted $6,000. A motion to contract with McGrath passed on roll call (three yes, two no).

The commission also voted unanimously to close the Lincoln County Courthouse at 2 p.m. on Christmas Eve to give staff the afternoon for family observance; commissioners noted the action was intended to balance values and fiscal responsibility.

No executive session was requested and the meeting adjourned after brief commission reports and an administrative office update from Paul Anderson.
