Legislature creates Transportation Assistant role, converts head bus driver to full time
Summary
The board created a Transportation Assistant position and amended a prior resolution to abolish the Transportation Coordinator upon filling the Full Time Head Bus Driver position.
The Franklin County Legislature on Sept. 17 approved changes to county transportation staffing intended to streamline bus operations.
Resolution No. 192 creates a Transportation Assistant position (Competitive Class, Grade 5) with a base salary of $31,162 and authorizes the Superintendent of Highway to fill the post from existing funds. The resolution states the filling of the new position will lead to abolishing one Transportation Assistant/Bus Driver position.
Resolution No. 193 amends a Sept. 3 action (Res. 185) to add a "further resolved" clarifying that the Transportation Coordinator position will be abolished upon the filling of the Full Time Head Bus Driver position. Both resolutions were offered by the Public Works & Services Committee and approved unanimously.
Why it matters: The staffing changes restructure transportation roles and reallocate duties between assistant, coordinator and head-driver positions. The resolutions specify salary grade and funding source (existing funds) but do not provide a projected timeline for hiring or identify the employee affected by abolition.
Both measures passed unanimously; the transcript does not list names of individual employees impacted or give hire dates.
