Bradford County approves multiple hires, transfers and salary classifications
Summary
Commissioners approved a slate of personnel actions March 12, 2026, including transfers and hires in courts, 911 and Human Services, rate adjustments for multiple Children & Youth caseworkers, and Salary Board pay‑rate confirmations; one procedural vote recorded a dissent on an amended minutes item.
The Bradford County Commissioners on March 12 approved a package of personnel actions and Salary Board pay classifications affecting multiple departments.
Commissioner Zachary R. Gates moved to approve the personnel actions; Commissioner Doug McLinko seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The listed personnel actions in the minutes include transfers and hires: Kennedra Dixon to Chief Deputy Prothonotary (effective March 3, 2026); Dakota Johnston to Administrative Assistant III (effective March 19, 2026); hire of Douglas Freeman as 911 Dispatcher I (effective March 20, 2026); transfer of Ethan Sheets to part‑time Dispatcher II (effective April 1, 2026); Angela Davidson moved from probationary to regular Administrative Assistant I status effective December 27, 2025; and multiple rate adjustments for County Caseworker II positions in Children & Youth (Jacqueline Robert, Mikayla Hallett, Heather Baker‑McAllister, Alexandra Bricek, Makenzie Lantz effective October 1, 2025).
The Salary Board (present: Daryl Miller, Doug McLinko, Zachary R. Gates and Treasurer Matt Allen) approved specific pay classifications and rates for those positions. The minutes list hourly rates for the approved positions, including $17.38 for Kennedra Dixon (G18), $16.24 for Dakota Johnston (G15), $17.24 for Douglas Freeman (G18PSC), $21.62 for Ethan Sheets (PT Dispatcher II G19PSC), $16.40 for Brady Bourne (Administrative Assistant I G18), $15.77 for Rebecca Dziak (Administrative Clerk III G16), and County Caseworker II rates at $23.80 (G26HS) for the named staff.
A split vote is recorded on an unfinished business item to amend the February 26, 2026 minutes to include an omission: Treasurer Matt Allen moved, Commissioner McLinko seconded and both voted "aye" while Commissioner Gates voted "nay" to approve inclusion of Kensy Miller (Probation Officer Trainee effective February 17, 2026 at $18.00).
The minutes also record two court‑ordered appointments effective March 10, 2026: Brady Bourne as Administrative Assistant I for the Court of Common Pleas and Rebecca Dziak as Administrative Clerk III for the Domestic Relations Office. These appointments were noted in the minutes and included in the Salary Board actions.
The minutes do not include further discussion about recruitment processes, budgetary line items for the hires, or additional public comment on personnel matters.
