Morgan County Council approves maintenance job reclassifications and several budget transfers
Summary
Council approved updates to maintenance job descriptions (raising several positions to midpoint and retitling the director role), and approved related appropriation transfers plus smaller transfers for elections and recycling.
Morgan County Council voted June 1 to approve job-description changes and budget transfers for the county maintenance department, and to authorize several smaller transfers for elections and recycling operations.
The council accepted a job maintenance committee recommendation to bring maintenance and custodial positions to the county midpoint salary range and to retitle the maintenance director to director of operations. The changes also create an assistant-director role and adjust titles for maintenance technician positions. County staff said these are reclassifications using existing budget lines, not requests for additional appropriations.
"Tommy will need to come back next month for one more transfer because ... he's still about $9,000 short," the chair said while outlining timing; staff said the pay changes would go into effect June pay period starting June 13 for the July 2 payroll.
