Board approves corrected employment agreement for director of invasive species after job-description error found
Summary
Pacific County commissioners rescinded a prior approval and adopted a corrected special employment agreement for Jeff Nesbitt as Director of Invasive Species and Vegetation Management, adjusting his salary grade to 124 (step 7) retroactive to July 1, 2025.
The Pacific County Board of Commissioners on July 28 rescinded an earlier motion and approved a corrected special employment agreement for Jeff Nesbitt, naming him Director of Invasive Species and Vegetation Management at salary grade 124, step 7, effective July 1, 2025.
A commissioner explained that the earlier approval had used an outdated position description—about 17 years old—that did not include the director's invasive-species responsibilities. With the corrected job description, the county determined the position should be grade 124 rather than the previously applied grade 123. The board approved retroactive pay to the start of the year and noted an additional step increase scheduled for Jan. 1, 2026.
Officials apologized for the administrative error and thanked the director for working with staff to update the position description. The board approved the corrected agreement by voice vote; commissioners did not detail the exact retroactive pay amount at the meeting.
The action was presented as an internal personnel and classification correction; the motion language specified the outcome and that continued payments are subject to adequate budget appropriations.
