Commission approves dispatch hires, library director training and sheriff vehicle purchase; mid‑month claims approved
Summary
The commission approved hires for two dispatch positions and authorized intermittent training hire for the new library director; the board also approved purchase of a budgeted sheriff patrol vehicle and mid‑month claims totaling $627,233.41.
Fallon County commissioners approved a slate of routine personnel and procurement actions during the work session.
The board voted to hire Taylor Hanebuck (40‑hour position) and Cody Olsen (36‑hour position) as dispatch staff, with orientation and staggered training start dates so the dispatcher team can be trained together. The commission also approved hiring Hillary Frank as library director, authorizing intermittent training time prior to her permanent start date of June 1; commissioners discussed cross‑coverage for April and May if needed.
Sheriff’s Office leadership requested permission to purchase a state‑approved patrol vehicle (budgeted). The commission approved the purchase and asked the sheriff to explore offsetting costs via grants and to advertise older vehicles to other law enforcement agencies before disposal.
Finally, commissioners approved mid‑month claims in the amount of $627,233.41 and accepted change orders totaling $14,637.54 for Fallon Medical Complex renovations.
