Summary
At Mondaymeeting supervisors approved multiple personnel hires (correctional officer, part‑time paramedic and RN), a TIF extension requested by the city of Fairfield, and a contingency approval for the Sunrise Trail urban renewal plan pending Conservation Board acceptance.
The Jefferson County Board of Supervisors carried a set of routine and calendared votes during Monday's meeting. Key outcomes:
- Correctional officer hire: The board approved hiring Addison Knack as a correctional officer at an annual salary of $44,154.81, effective March 3.
- EMS hires: The board approved hiring Rocky Has Bill Jr. as a part‑time PRN paramedic and Elizabeth Beard as a part‑time RN/paramedic as recommended by EMS leadership; medical director approval was confirmed for the RN role.
- Wage step: A final probationary step increase for a secondary roads employee (Dylan, concrete finisher) was approved by voice vote.
- Tax Increment Financing (TIF) extension: The board approved an extension request from the city of Fairfield to lengthen a TIF district from 10 to 15 years to allow time to pay bondable infrastructure costs for a new development; staff noted the new taxes are incremental revenue tied to the project area and are committed to debt service only.
- Sunrise Trail urban renewal plan: The board approved the renewal plan contingent on the Jefferson County Conservation Board accepting specified property (Madison Barnes) into its jurisdiction; supervisors said contingency preserves the countyrole while allowing the city to proceed with bid timelines.
All motions recorded in the minutes carried by voice votes; no roll‑call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
