Commissioners approve fourth ARP operations hire and promotion to operations manager
Summary
The board approved hiring an additional ARP operations employee and promoted current employee 'Steph' to operations manager; commissioners emphasized the role would handle inspections, scopes of work and program operations, and confirmed the position is 100% reimbursable through DEEQ.
Lincoln County commissioners approved adding a fourth staff position to the ARP program and promoted the program’s current employee (identified as Steph) to operations manager during the March 4 meeting.
Staff said the position’s budget increase has been approved by DEEQ and is 100% reimbursable as part of the program. Commissioners sought clarification on day‑to‑day responsibilities; staff described the operations manager as covering inspections, scopes of work and other program management tasks currently shared across multiple employees.
A motion to approve the hire and promotion carried in the meeting with at least one recorded opposition. Commissioners and staff said the job duties and sampling plan for relocation of program materials will proceed as scheduled, with sampling results guiding any further site actions.
Why it matters: the ARP program is actively managing relocations and environmental sampling after recent events, and the added capacity is tied to reimbursable funding through DEEQ.
