Clerk’s request to make deputy full‑time through December wins approval
Summary
The Clerk of Court’s request to bump a deputy to full‑time through Dec. 2024 for training and coverage passed unanimously. Commissioners discussed budget impacts and estimated the half‑year expense including payroll and insurance.
Tammy Fliger, the Clerk of Court, asked the board to approve a temporary move to full‑time for her deputy from July through December to ensure training and continuity.
Fliger said she needed more time to train staff and cover meeting attendance and other clerk duties, and asked for the temporary elevation to full‑time through the end of the calendar year. Commissioners discussed cost estimates and how the county’s fiscal calendars and shared budget lines (district court, treasurer) would interact with the additional payroll and insurance costs. Staff provided rough figures showing the added cost would be manageable within county budgets for the remainder of the year but cautioned about long‑term implications if the position remained full‑time beyond the temporary period.
A motion to temporarily increase the deputy position to full‑time through December was made and seconded; the board voted by voice to approve the request with no recorded opposition.
