Adair County to advertise temporary, part-time position while employee recovers
Summary
Officials authorized advertising a part-time temporary position to cover duties of Sheila Blair while she recovers; members discussed advertisement venues and timing and proposed appointing from applications at a special call if needed.
The court authorized advertising a temporary, part-time position to cover the duties of Sheila Blair while she recovers. An attendee said Blair was in the office and that a temporary hire could work intermittently to help train staff during her absence.
Members debated advertisement strategy and timing. Speaker 7 suggested using local outlets such as Columbia Magazine, The Voice and The Progress, noting that The Progress is the county’s usual paper and does not publish until Thursday. Speaker 7 said placing the ad broadly would help more people see it. The court discussed advertising for seven days and scheduling a special call meeting to appoint a candidate if applications could be processed quickly.
Speaker 5 said the temporary worker would likely start "as soon as she knows if she wants to continue or she wants to give it up or about her health," and that the hire would be a rehire without automatic reinstatement. The court moved and seconded to proceed with advertising; no final appointment was recorded in the available segments.
