The Oswego County Soil and Water Conservation District board voted Feb. 10 to promote Conservation Aides Dylan Cox and Ben Gephard to the title Environmental Resource Technician, with annual salaries of $48,000, associated benefits, and a probationary period of no less than 52 weeks.
The minutes record the promotions were recommended because both employees meet the new position requirements, have strong performance records, and are motivated to expand their skills. Director Mary Ellen Chesbro made the motion to promote; Director Tom Bonoffski seconded and the motion carried 3 yeas, 0 nays.
District Manager Joe Chairvolotti submitted a written statement thanking staff for their contributions to report preparation and daily operations under short notice: "Whether their help was in the form of proofreading, providing facts and figures, developing narratives, or maintaining daily operations, this was a team effort and their dedication and hard work are sincerely appreciated." The minutes record that, under the HELPS program, no exam will be required for the promoted positions.
The minutes do not specify start dates beyond 'immediate' promotion or further salary step schedules; those administrative details were not included in the record.
