Commission approves conversion to full‑time corrections officer, tables new detention deputy hire
Summary
The commission approved moving a part‑time corrections officer to full‑time but tabled a proposed new detention deputy hire pending clarification of pay grade and missing payroll fields.
Yankton County commissioners on May 5 approved converting a part‑time corrections officer to a full‑time position in the sheriff’s office but tabled a separate new detention deputy hire until payroll grading and step information are clarified.
The personnel items were introduced as budgeted positions. Commissioner Dan asked whether both positions were budgeted and noted missing details in the packet: “we didn't have the current grade and step, current pay rate filled in,” he said. Commissioners agreed the part‑time to full‑time conversion could proceed but moved to table the new hire so Preston or another staff member can provide the missing grading/step justification.
A motion to approve the part‑time to full‑time conversion passed (mover Ryan; second Wanda). Separately, commissioners made a motion to table the new hire; that motion also carried. No names of the employees were read into the record at the meeting.
The record indicates both positions are budgeted, but commissioners requested the absent personnel manager provide the missing pay‑grade and step details before final approval of the new hire.
