Ways & Means approves County Clerk staffing changes for succession planning
Summary
The Livingston County Ways & Means Committee approved amendments to the 2026 salary schedule to create a Second Deputy County Clerk position and new motor vehicle supervisor roles and to delete three senior motor vehicle clerk posts, citing planned retirements and role realignment.
The Livingston County Ways & Means Committee on April 20 approved amendments to the 2026 County salary schedule for the County Clerk/DMV that create a Second Deputy County Clerk position and new motor vehicle supervisory roles and delete three senior motor vehicle clerk positions.
County Clerk Samantha Nellis presented the resolution, saying the Second Deputy role is being added for succession planning ahead of a planned retirement in 2027 and that two retirements are expected next January and October. The committee voted to create one full‑time Second Deputy County Clerk at a salary range of $77,000–$82,000 effective May 4, 2026; to create one Motor Vehicle Supervisor II (Wage Grade 14) and two Motor Vehicle Supervisor positions (Wage Grade 12) effective April 22, 2026; and to delete three full‑time Senior Motor Vehicle Clerk positions (Wage Grade 10) effective May 30, 2026. Ms. Nellis said the Motor Vehicle Supervisor II position will be deleted after the incumbent retires and that the deletion dates allow time to post, fill and onboard the newly created positions.
The motion to approve the salary‑schedule amendments was moved by Mr. Gott and seconded by Mr. Pangrazio and was carried by the committee. The resolution directs county staff to post and fill the new positions and implement the schedule changes on the effective dates specified.
The committee record does not include a roll‑call vote tally for the resolution; the minutes state only that the motion carried.
