Commissioners approve personnel moves; promotions and transfer pass on roll-call votes
Summary
The board recorded roll‑call approval of a correction‑officer transfer and a Children & Youth promotion; multiple appointments and HR actions were presented, all pending standard pre‑employment checks and salary‑board approvals where noted.
During its April 15 work session the Schuylkill County Board of Commissioners approved multiple personnel actions by roll‑call vote and heard additional appointment requests.
Human Resources Director Anthony Kern requested moving Joshua Macunas from a part‑time correction officer to a full‑time correction officer position (Teamsters rate $26.4555 per hour), effective April 20, 2026, and promoted Tiffany Lewis from County Caseworker I to County Caseworker II (PSSU pay range 35, $23.7467 per hour), effective April 20, 2026.
Commissioner Barron Hetherington moved to approve the requests; Commissioner Gary Hess seconded. The minutes record the roll‑call vote as: Commissioner Larry Padora — Yes; Commissioner Barron Hetherington — Yes; Commissioner Gary Hess — Yes. Both personnel actions were approved.
The minutes also list other personnel items presented for informational or approval consideration: promotion of Hailey Walton (effective May 4, 2026), appointment of Kiesha Kimmel to a Clerk III position (effective April 20, 2026), and appointment of George Uhlir to a law clerk position (effective April 27, 2026). The minutes note that all appointments are pending drug test and physical and that salary changes are pending salary‑board approval where applicable.
No disciplinary actions or contested personnel items were recorded in the work‑session minutes; the recorded votes show unanimous approval of the two listed actions.
