Commission lists personnel hires, IT staffing change and EMA equipment budget revision
Summary
The commission placed multiple personnel actions on the agenda — an IT staffing reclassification and several hires — and described a budget revision to buy a new Kubota Gator for EMA operations with the old unit to be transferred to campsite use.
At the Feb. 17 work session the Limestone County Commission put forward several personnel items and a budget revision for equipment used by emergency management.
Chairman asked the commission to amend the IT staffing plan by removing an IT training position and adding an additional network support specialist, which would move Keegan Laxon from an IT trainee role into a network support specialist position. The chairman said the promotion would be retroactive to Feb. 2.
Chairman also listed hires to be taken in one motion: hire Josh Taylor as a part‑time school resource officer (effective March 2 pending drug screening), hire Dylan Ryan and Levi Williams as deputies (pending drug screenings), and hire Michael Moore as a corrections officer (pending drug screen). Chairman proposed combining these items into a single motion; the transcript records no roll‑call vote in the excerpt provided.
On budget items, the chairman explained a revision to purchase a new Kubota Gator for Emergency Management (Eddie Gilbert) and transfer the current vehicle to Calfor Campground. A separate agenda entry listed merit increases for several employees; commissioners raised no objections in the excerpt.
No formal votes or signed personnel orders appear in the provided transcript excerpt; personnel actions were slated to be handled as a combined motion at the meeting.
