Union County accepts three resignations; approves new chief jailer and other personnel actions
Summary
The board accepted resignations from a dispatcher, a deputy and the chief jailer, approved Cameron Moore as full-time Chief Jailer, hired summer help and appointed Mike Voortman to Planning and Zoning during the April 15 meeting.
The Union County Board of Commissioners accepted several personnel changes on April 15, 2025. On motions carried by the board, the commissioners accepted the resignations of Dispatcher Rachell Edminson (effective April 2), Deputy Maxus Mach (effective April 7) and Chief Jailer Dawn Beatty (effective April 24), each accepted with thanks for their service.
Commissioner Dailey moved and Commissioner Kimmel seconded a motion to approve Cameron Moore as full-time Chief Jailer at $26.91; the motion carried. The minutes record the compensation figure as part of the motion but do not specify the pay period or classification beyond the stated amount. The board also approved hiring Aaron Coyle for summer help in the Highway Department at $18 per hour beginning May 19.
By separate motion, the commissioners appointed Mike Voortman to the Planning and Zoning committee; that motion was made by Commissioner Ballard and seconded by Commissioner Kimmel and carried. The minutes record State's Attorney Zenner and Risty Benefits representatives met with the board, and department heads (Nurse Heirigs, VSO Schenzel, Extension/Weed/Fair Tabke, EMA Wescott) provided monthly reports; the minutes do not record further personnel actions tied to those presentations.
The board's minutes do not include a public discussion or roll-call vote breakdown on the personnel motions; all motions are noted as "Carried."
