Commission creates part‑time addressing technician role in IT to streamline address processing

Berkeley County Commission · April 17, 2026

Summary

To speed field addressing and reduce workloads in IT, the commission authorized converting an existing open FTE and budgeted funds to create a part‑time addressing technician (estimated 1–3 days/week, averaging under 20 hours/week) using existing salary lines, with no increase to the county's personnel budget.

The commission approved creating a part‑time addressing technician position in the Information Technology department by moving an existing FTE and already‑budgeted funds.

Chad Weinbrenner explained that recent turnover in IT redistributed addressing responsibilities across multiple staff and that restoring a dedicated addressing role (physical address plotting and data entry) will speed processing. Staff estimated the position will require one to three days per week (likely stabilizing around two days per week) and will be funded from existing IT and county commission salary lines so no net new personnel costs are required.

Weinbrenner said the role will average under 20 hours per week to avoid triggering state benefits or retirement thresholds; the position will use an open FTE that previously funded another administrative function. Commissioners moved and approved the change by voice vote.
