Supervisors approve two hires and appointments, OK courthouse‑lawn use for local group
Summary
The board approved hiring a 9‑1‑1 dispatcher and a universal clerk, appointed county representatives to a regional governance board, and granted one‑day use of the courthouse lawn to a local Indivisible group.
Mills County supervisors voted to approve several personnel actions and local event requests during their meeting.
The board approved hiring Christian Wiederman (recorded in the motion as Christian Weider/Weiderman in the packet) as a 9‑1‑1 dispatcher at $27.50 per hour with a start date of March 31. The motion to hire was made and seconded and carried by voice vote.
Supervisors also approved hiring Jennifer Turner as a universal clerk with a start in March 2026 and an annual starting salary recorded as $48,690; the hire carries a six‑month probationary period.
The board granted use of the courthouse lawn to a local Indivisible‑affiliated group for March 28 (set up time earlier in the morning and cleanup the responsibility of the applicant). The board required a use contract and confirmed the event is on public property; the motion to allow the use carried.
Separately, the board appointed representatives to a regional governance board described as the 'thriving families alliance' (county appointments recorded during the meeting). Motions to appoint a primary and alternate representative were made and approved.
What’s next: county staff will process employment paperwork, prepare the use contract for the courthouse lawn event, and record the appointments in board records.
