Judicial committee recommends two staffers for full‑time roles, forwarding hires to full commission

The Wilson County Judicial Committee recommended on a unanimous committee vote that two office employees be moved into full‑time positions and that the full commission consider the appointments.

Staff member (S2) told the committee that "Ginny White is a part time with our office" and recommended promoting her to full time at her current pay level. Committee members discussed the appointment length; S2 said she was comfortable with a two‑year appointment but a motion on the floor set a different term. Committee member (S6) moved to approve the appointment and the committee voted in favor; Chair (S1) said the recommendation will be sent to the full commission for a final vote.

The committee also considered David Williams for the other full‑time slot. Chair (S1) summarized Williams' history, saying he worked part time in the office "from February 2018 to March 2022 as part time for about 4 years," and noted Williams' law‑enforcement background. S2 added that Williams "retired as a police lieutenant with Metro National Police Department" and described him as "very well versed in the law." Members discussed pay grade and retention; S2 stated the funding is available in the current budget. The committee made and seconded a motion to approve the hire and voted 'aye.'

Both personnel recommendations will be transmitted to the full Wilson County commission for a final vote at the commission meeting noted by the Chair.
