Park County to post and hire civil clerk for sheriff’s office after judge appointment
Summary
Park County commissioners unanimously approved posting and hiring for a civil clerk in the sheriff’s office to replace Carol, recently elected city court judge; commissioners and the sheriff said the clerk handles finances, civil service processing and concealed-carry permits.
Park County commissioners voted Nov. 25 to post and hire a civil clerk for the sheriff’s office to fill a vacancy created when Carol was elected city court judge.
Sheriff Tad told the commission the civil clerk does more than typical clerical work — handling office finances, processing civil papers for service and managing concealed-carry permits — and that those duties made filling the position urgent. "She's kind of been the glue that's kept us all together," he said, describing the departing employee as a crucial, visible member of the office.
The county chair called for public comment; a resident spoke in support of filling the vacancy, saying the office would "miss Carol a lot" because of her work. Commissioner Waltz moved to post and hire for the civil clerk position; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The sheriff said the county can use funds from the commissary account to cover certain office needs tied to the position until it is filled. The county manager indicated the posting would go out promptly and the office expects to begin interviews once applications are received.
The action is procedural: commissioners authorized posting and hiring. The county did not specify a recruitment timeline, compensation range, or other hiring details during the meeting. The commission proceeded to the next agenda item after the vote.
