Commissioners authorize letter to restore continuous service for long‑tenured surveyor employee
Summary
Madison County commissioners agreed to send documentation to the auditor to restore continuous service credit for a surveyor’s office employee whose 1980s records were destroyed, after reviewing time cards and Social Security statements indicating more than 40 years of service.
Madison County commissioners voted to authorize a letter to the county auditor to restore continuous service credit for a surveyor's office employee whose county personnel records from the 1980s were destroyed.
Chair Kevin described that the employee, identified in discussion as Parks, had nearly 40 years of service but faced an apparent break in county records caused by record destruction. The chair said the employee provided old time cards and that staff had collected testimonial evidence supporting uninterrupted service.
A county representative noted they reviewed Social Security Administration statements and were comfortable with the numbers. Chair Kevin said the restoration letter is what the auditor’s office requires to correct the record and that the commission can ‘‘restore that via this letter to the auditor.’’ A motion to execute the letter was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners characterized the action as corrective administration to avoid penalizing an employee for missing historical records; the transcript does not show any opposition or further administrative steps beyond submitting the requested documentation to the auditor.
