Commissioners to prepare job description amid performance concerns for Weed Superintendent
Summary
After questions about responsibilities and performance, the Nemaha County Board directed staff to prepare a written job description and list of duties for Weed Superintendent Justus Walters, clarifying spraying and assistance expectations.
Auburn, Neb. — The Nemaha County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 22 directed staff to prepare a job description and formal list of duties for Weed Superintendent Justus Walters after discussing performance issues and a question on job responsibilities.
During the agenda item, Suki Fischer raised a question about who is responsible for weed spraying around county properties. The record states the weed spraying behind the Department of Health and Human Services building, the Emergency Operations Center building and the impound lot will be the Weed Superintendent’s sole responsibility. The minutes also state that the superintendent's courthouse assistance is limited to snow removal at the Courthouse, DHHS building and Law Enforcement Building. The record adds that Walters will assist the road department with spraying roadsides, removing trees and brush and other general work.
In response to concerns discussed at the meeting, commissioners agreed to prepare a formal job description and list of duties for the Weed Superintendent to clarify expectations and oversight. The minutes record the directive but do not include the draft job description itself or a timeline for its completion.
The board’s action was recorded as direction to staff rather than a personnel discipline vote; no personnel sanctions or a formal hearing appear in the minutes.
