Worth County board approves three-year AFSCME deputies contract extension
Summary
The Worth County Board of Supervisors approved a three-year extension to the AFSCME deputies contract through 2026, adding step increases and provisions for later review of paid-time-off changes; the vote was by voice and carried unanimously.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a three-year extension of the county’s AFSCME deputies contract, covering deputies through 2026 and adding step increases, during its May 13 meeting.
Chair Nina opened discussion on the contract extension and staff summarized key changes, including a reworked step schedule intended to make recruitment easier and clearer guidance on employee progression. The board noted the agreement includes language committing to consider converting to a PTO system and to review that change if implemented on July 1, but the contract does not guarantee PTO adoption.
"It's got the steps in there that you're saying ... it should help Jesse recruit deputies easier," the chair said while summarizing staff comments about recruitment and retention.
Board members raised no further questions and approved the motion by voice vote. The contract will be filed and returned for signatures as part of the county’s records process.
What happens next: The county will complete administrative processing and file the signed contract; no further board action on adoption was recorded at the meeting.
