Commission approves personnel actions and picks up URS Tier 2 public-safety contribution; 2026 fee schedule adopted
Summary
The commission approved multiple hires and promotions in the sheriff's office and parks and recreation, adopted the 2026 Iron County Fee Schedule, and approved a URS Tier 2 public-safety employee portion pickup effective July 1, 2026, estimated to cost $72,266.05 for Corrections and patrol salaries.
Iron County commissioners on May 26 approved a set of personnel actions, adopted the county’s 2026 fee schedule, and agreed to pick up the employee portion of the URS Tier 2 public‑safety contribution effective July 1, 2026.
HR Director Jennifer Bradbury presented new hires and promotions in the Sheriff’s Department and Parks and Recreation and listed employee service milestones. The commission approved the personnel changes by motion (Michael Bleak moved; Kenneth Robinson seconded). Auditor Lucas (Luke) Little presented the 2026 county fee schedule and the commission approved the schedule; the list will be posted on the county website.
Bradbury also presented the URS Tier 2 public‑safety pickup proposal. Commissioners were told the additional 1.25 percentage‑point employer contribution to pick up the public‑safety portion would cost an estimated $72,266.05 for Corrections and patrol salaries in FY2027 and will require a budget adjustment. Lieutenant Shalon Shaver and Deputy Shawn Peterson said employees face recruitment pressure from other counties and endorsed the pickup as a retention measure. The commission voted to approve the Tier 2 pickup and to update county personnel policies effective July 1.
What follows: the auditor will prepare the necessary budget adjustments and staff will update personnel policies to reflect the pickup.
