Rawlins County reappoints Alicia Baumfalk as county appraiser, keeps salary and sets benefit and time conditions
Summary
The Rawlins County Board reappointed Alicia Baumfalk to a four-year term starting July 1, 2025, leaving her salary unchanged while accepting Logan County’s proposed 50% reimbursement of her health premiums and approving a four-year payout of accrued sick and vacation, with a minimum two‑day-per-week commitment.
The Rawlins County Board of Commissioners voted June 2 to reappoint Alicia Baumfalk as county appraiser for a four‑year term beginning July 1, 2025.
Under the motion, moved by Commissioner Lincoln Pochop and seconded by Commissioner Alan A. Solko, Baumfalk will retain her current salary, which the board agreed will be reassessed annually. The board also approved terms that (1) Baumfalk will not accrue sick or vacation time going forward effective July 1, 2025; (2) accrued sick and vacation from prior years will be paid out in four equal annual installments; (3) she will commit to a minimum of two days per week in Rawlins County while meeting statutory duties; and (4) Logan County will reimburse Rawlins County 50% of her major medical, dental and vision insurance premiums.
Baumfalk told the board she intends to continue providing services to both Rawlins and Logan counties, noting she currently works one to two days a week in Logan County and contributes to KPERS through Rawlins County. She asked the board to consider the Logan County reimbursement as compensation toward her salary; commissioners asked her to submit a written proposal with clarified figures.
County Attorney Christopher Rohr advised that Baumfalk should continue performing her statutory duties and that hours will vary by workload. The board discussed paying accrued sick and vacation over a four‑year schedule and asked Rohr to prepare suggested motion language for a resolution at the next meeting. Commissioner Mosley said he wants Logan County to confirm the reimbursement arrangement; Baumfalk said she will meet with Logan County on June 9 to discuss the matter.
The motion to reappoint passed unanimously.
