Committee member moves to hire part-time worker for district clerk's office at $20 an hour; motion approved

A committee member moved to hire a part-time worker for the district clerk's office at $20 an hour, saying the position's salary is already covered in the existing budget. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

The move followed the meeting's announcement that action on item 20 — matters discussed in executive session — would be considered in open session. According to the committee member who made the motion, "I would move we hire a part time person in the district clerk's office, at $20 an hour, and her salary would be covered out." The chair acknowledged a second and called for the ayes; the transcript records affirmations and no recorded opposition.

The record does not specify the total number of votes cast or whether the vote met any particular statutory threshold; the transcript shows the committee member and the chair voiced approval. After the vote, the meeting moved to item 21 and adjourned.

The hiring motion was presented as a budgeted position; no additional details about start date, appointment authority, or employee classification were provided in the transcript. The meeting provided no further public discussion, and no written materials or personnel details were referenced on the record.
