Commissioners temporarily move Clerk of Court deputy to full‑time through December
Summary
The board approved a temporary change to make the Clerk of Court's deputy a full‑time position through December to allow adequate training and continuity. Commissioners discussed budget implications and training needs before voting in favor with no recorded opposition.
Daniels County commissioners voted July 15 to temporarily increase the Clerk of Court deputy position to full‑time through Dec. 31 to allow for on‑the‑job training and continuity while the office transitions.
The Clerk of Court outlined that the deputy position has required substantial training and that filling and training a new hire during a short period would be difficult. Commissioners acknowledged additional budgetary cost, noted the county will need to manage shared county budgets and flagged the possibility of re‑budgeting or compensating by delaying other hires. After discussion, one commissioner moved to approve the temporary full‑time appointment from July through December; the motion was seconded and passed with all present voting in favor.
County staff said the change will be reflected in payroll and budget documents; the county will monitor candidate availability and training progress before reverting the position to part‑time as planned at year end.
