Council adds temporary part-time surveyor position, waives second reading
Summary
Officials approved an amendment to the 2026 salary ordinance to create a temporary part-time surveyor position (up to $25/hour, up to 70 hours/year) effective Feb. 9, 2026, and unanimously waived the second reading requirement.
The LaGrange County Council amended the 2026 Salary Ordinance on Feb. 9 to add a temporary part-time surveyor position intended to help train a new employee. The ordinance language establishes pay "up to $25.00/hour" and limits the role to 70 hours per year; the change was recorded effective Feb. 9, 2026.
Council Member Ryan J. Riegsecker moved to approve the amendment and Mike Strawser seconded; the motion carried unanimously. Council Member Harold D. Gingerich then moved to waive the requirement for a second reading; Jeff Campos seconded and the council voted unanimously to waive the second reading requirement.
LaGrange County Building Commissioner Jason Boggs also reported 2025 revenue from the Building Department's permits and fees in the same meeting; the transcript records the revenue report as informational with no formal action recorded against it.
The minutes do not provide the hourly rate actually paid in any specific instance or indicate when the temporary position will be used beyond the stated purpose of training a new employee.
