Commissioners appoint Sarah as deputy clerk and recorder
Summary
The board unanimously appointed Sarah to fill a longstanding vacancy as deputy clerk and recorder after a staff presentation described the duties (elections, vital records, recording) and training requirements. Commissioners emphasized the need to maintain office operations during elections and absences.
Rosebud County commissioners voted unanimously to appoint Sarah to the deputy clerk and recorder position to fill a longstanding vacancy in that office.
A county staff speaker explained this is not a new position but one that had not been filled recently. The presentation outlined core duties the deputy must perform — elections administration, vital records (birth and death), and recording documents — and emphasized training and security requirements necessary to operate elections and other county functions.
Staff said Sarah has previously assisted the office with elections tasks, ballot preparation and other duties and that making her a deputy would formalize those responsibilities and allow cross‑coverage when staff travel or are absent. Commissioners discussed certification and training requirements and agreed the appointment would help maintain continuous service to the public.
The motion to appoint Sarah as deputy clerk and recorder was moved, seconded and carried unanimously; the board directed staff to proceed with required training and certification steps.
