Commission creates full-time Election Commission position, approves sports complex agreement and adjourns
Summary
After suspending rules to consider extra business, commissioners approved making an Election Commission part-time post full-time with a $20,769.40 appropriation, approved a sports complex agreement, and adjourned the meeting.
Benton County commissioners suspended the Rules of Order to take up extra resolutions and approved several items under "Any Other Business." The commission voted to convert a current part-time Election Commission employee to a full-time position and appropriated $20,769.40 from the Unassigned Fund Balance to cover the remainder of FY2021 for the new full-time position (Resolution 20200817-14).
The resolution, sponsored by County Mayor Brett Lashlee and Election Administrator Mark Ward, lists line-item allocations for deputy pay, social security, pension, unemployment and Medicare. The minutes include a roll-call table that shows 15 Ayes and 3 Nays for the measure after suspension of rules.
Commissioners also approved a Benton County Sports Complex Agreement on a separate motion; the minutes record the motion carried with all present voting Aye. The meeting was adjourned following those approvals.
The minutes do not specify the name of the employee being converted or the long-term funding plan beyond the FY2021 appropriation.
