Lucas County accepts long‑time telecommunicator's resignation, approves appointments and wage increase
Summary
The board accepted the resignation of Telecommunicator Supervisor Laura Graves effective May 15, 2026, approved the appointment of Todd Willis to the Board of Adjustment, authorized a wage increase for Sheila Adams, and heard Sheriff Tharp introduce new deputy Wade Flinn.
At its April 15 meeting the Lucas County Board of Supervisors accepted, by resolution, the resignation of Telecommunicator Supervisor Laura Graves from the Lucas County Sheriff's Office effective May 15, 2026, noting 41 years of service.
The board also approved personnel and appointment items. The supervisors approved an hourly wage increase for Sheila Adams to $18.11, effective July 1, 2026, following a request from Lucas County Treasurer Hanna Gwinn. The board appointed Todd Willis to the Lucas County Board of Adjustment for a term beginning April 1, 2026 and ending March 31, 2029.
Sheriff Tharp introduced a new deputy, Wade Flinn, to the board and asked supervisors to appoint Bill Vaughn to replace Jim Baker on the Civil Service Commission; the transcript records the request but does not show a formal motion or vote on the Civil Service nomination during this meeting. The board also set a budget amendment hearing for May 11, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. in the Board of Supervisors room at the courthouse.
The resignation, appointment and wage-change motions were recorded as approved; many motions in the meeting were recorded generically as 'All voted aye' and the transcript often does not supply individual seconders for every motion.
