Summary
On July 9, 2024, Bedford County’s Salary Board approved minutes and two personnel schedules covering June and July, including hiring Jeffrey Gable as Director of Elections at $50,000 and Michael Omps as Grants Coordinator at $45,000; motions were recorded as approved but the minutes do not list vote tallies.
The Bedford County Salary Board approved minutes and two personnel schedules at its July 9, 2024, meeting, including several hires and pay rates for county positions.
Commissioner Baughman called the meeting to order at 10:41 a.m.; Treasurer Melissa Cottle and Commissioner Winck were recorded as present. The board voted to approve the minutes of the May 14, 2024, meeting after a motion by Commissioner Baughman and a second from Melissa Cottle. The minutes state only that "the motion was approved" and do not provide a roll-call tally.
Under old business the board approved the June personnel recommendations as moved by Melissa Cottle and seconded by Commissioner Baughman. The approved June list includes multiple correctional officers at BCCF with hourly union-scale rates (examples include hires at $16.50, $17.50 and training rates up to $19.53 per hour), tipstaff appointments in Court Administration at $100 per day, telecommunicator trainees at $14.92 per hour, and the hiring of Jeffrey Gable as Director of Elections at a salary of $50,000 (effective 5/20/24). The minutes record the motion as approved; they do not show vote counts.
In new business the board approved the July personnel recommendations after a motion by Melissa Cottle and a second from Commissioner Baughman. Notable entries on the July list include correctional officers whose hourly rates reflect completion of academy training, a part-time deputy sheriff noted as retroactive to 5/24/24 upon completion of the Deputy Academy, the appointment of Michael Omps as Grants Coordinator in the Planning Office at an annual salary of $45,000 (effective 6/24/24), and longevity-driven increases for two Caseworker II positions in Children and Youth Services. The recorded action states the motion was approved; no vote tally is provided in the minutes.
Commissioner Winck moved to adjourn at 10:43 a.m.; Commissioner Baughman seconded and the meeting was ended. The minutes note the next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 13, 2024, unless called sooner by the Board of Commissioners.
The minutes list personnel names, effective dates and hourly or annual rates as the basis for the board’s approvals. Where the minutes record only that a motion "was approved," the article notes that specific vote tallies were not provided in the record.
