Colbert County announces new deputies and Water Department hires; administrator flags Sheffield Farmers Market staffing need
Summary
County Administrator Roger Creekmore reported multiple personnel actions: two full‑time law‑enforcement hires and a part‑time Water Department operator, and asked commissioners to consider a part‑time temporary hire for the Sheffield Farmers Market at a projected $6,000.
County Administrator Roger Creekmore told the Colbert County Commission on March 3, 2026, that new personnel hires are underway and that the County may need a temporary worker for the Sheffield Farmers Market if it remains open this season.
Creekmore reported that Jaylan Atkin will begin March 1 as a full‑time certified deputy for the Sheriff’s Department with a beginning salary of $39,147.93 and that Michael Kott will begin March 1 as a full‑time corrections deputy with a beginning salary of $33,974.83. He also reported that the Water Department hired Kenny Nunley as a part‑time water treatment plant operator effective Feb. 23 at an hourly rate of $28.35.
Creekmore asked the Commission to consider operations of the Farmers Market in Sheffield and said that if the market is to remain open this season a part‑time temporary employee may be necessary at a projected cost of $6,000. Commissioner Bailey said he would like time to evaluate moving the market to a different location to increase participation.
The minutes record no formal action on the Farmers Market staffing question; Creekmore presented it as an item for Commission consideration.
