Committee approves personnel reclassifications and overlap training for successor
Summary
The committee agreed to fill a deputy personnel officer vacancy, create and fill a human resource specialist title to reflect duties, and allowed up to 30 days overlap for cross-training; a separate referral set the lifeguard supervisor salary.
Allegany County's personnel committee on March 4 approved multiple staffing actions intended to adjust job titles to match current duties and to ensure continuity during an upcoming retirement.
Personnel Officer Mr. Budinger told the committee he expected a retirement in the office and sought permission to initiate the hiring steps to fill a deputy personnel officer. The committee moved, seconded and approved that request.
Mr. Budinger also asked to reestablish the human resource specialist title and to fill subsequent positions without increasing the county's 2026.1 budget. He said the office now has three assistants and that at least one is performing higher-level duties that warrant the specialist classification. He requested the option of up to 30 days overlap for training an external hire and said he might not use the full 30 days but wanted the flexibility to avoid service lapses. The committee approved creating and filling the human resource specialist position and the requested overlap.
Separately, the county administrator asked personnel to set the salary for a lifeguard supervisor position (a referral from resource management); the committee approved that referral.
The personnel office said these changes can be made within existing budget lines and staff will proceed with classification and hiring steps.
