Pacific County approves promotion to add sergeant rank for jail supervision
Summary
Pacific County commissioners authorized an in-house promotion of a corrections officer to sergeant on April 3 to provide supervisory coverage on every jail shift; the board was told no budget supplement is necessary because of an FY2025 contingency.
The Pacific County Board of County Commissioners approved a promotion of an in-house corrections officer to sergeant to provide supervisory coverage on every shift at the county jail.
Why it matters: The promotion is intended to ensure there is a supervisor on every jail shift, improving oversight of operations and staff scheduling.
Commissioner moved to approve the in-house promotion to sergeant, subject to adequate budget appropriations, and the Moderator seconded. A corrections official described a plan to conduct an oral board and promote an internal candidate before the end of the month, after which staff would rebid assignments and the promoted employee would fill the sergeant role. "This is a part of the plan going forward to get supervision on every shift at the jail," the Corrections official said.
Chair noted no budget supplement is necessary for this promotional opportunity because a contingency exists in the FY2025 budget. The board voted to approve the promotion on voice vote; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally or name-level votes.
