Personnel Committee recommends keeping temporary kennel attendant post vacant for Animal Control
Summary
The Lapeer County Personnel Committee on April 23 recommended the full Board authorize Animal Control to keep a temporary part‑time Kennel Attendant position (#487, Pay Grade 14?) vacant and unbudgeted so it can be used if current attendants require unpaid leave, at no cost to the county.
The Lapeer County Personnel Committee on April 23 recommended that the full Board authorize Animal Control to keep a temporary part‑time Kennel Attendant position (#487, Pay Grade 14?) on its Table of Organization as vacant and unbudgeted to allow coverage if one of the current part‑time attendants needs an unpaid leave of absence.
The motion was introduced during the Animal Control agenda item after Chief Stephanie King was called away from the meeting to respond to complaints; Human Resources Director Natasha Kugler told the committee she would provide the information needed in King's absence. Commissioner Greg Wise moved the recommendation and Commissioner Gary Howell supported it. The minutes record the motion as carried unanimously.
Committee members framed the recommendation as a no‑cost administrative measure to ensure Animal Control can maintain kennel operations when part‑time staff are temporarily unavailable. The minutes list the position as "#487, Pay Grade 14?"; the pay‑grade notation appears with a question mark in the record and was not clarified during the meeting.
The Personnel Committee’s recommendation will be forwarded to the full Lapeer County Board of Commissioners for final action.
