Commission approves filling two community corrections positions after director’s request

Megan Lewis, identified in the transcript as director of community corrections, requested permission to fill two positions in the community corrections office: an Intensive Supervision Officer I (a position that receives funding from Clay County) and an Intensive Supervision Officer Supervisor, who oversees quality assurance and covers intake and other supervisory duties.

Lewis explained the ISO‑I role handles juvenile services intake and assessment, the IIP youth court program, juvenile intensive supervision and adult supervision duties; she said Clay County provides partial funding for the position. After questions for clarification, a commissioner moved to approve the request to fill the ISO‑I position and a separate motion to approve filling the supervisor position; both motions were seconded and approved by voice vote.

The approvals were procedural permissions to proceed with recruitment and did not name finalists or set salaries at the meeting.
