Police chief seeks new full-time officer and evidence positions; parks superintendent asks to hire seasonal splash-pad attendants
Summary
Police Chief Antoinette Hurtt asked the board to replace two part-time slots with a full-time officer and to add a CSI technician and evidence custodian. Athletic Superintendent Tony Burnett requested hiring seasonal splash-pad attendants and a supervisor at $12–$20 per hour; the board took no immediate action.
At the April 21, 2026 budget workshop, Police Chief Antoinette Hurtt asked the Red Springs Board of Commissioners to restructure several police positions: eliminate two part-time roles and add one full-time officer, a Crime Scene Investigator (CSI) technician and an evidence custodian.
Chief Antoinette Hurtt said these changes are intended to strengthen investigative capacity and evidence management within the department. The presentation did not include cost estimates in the transcript; staff and the board will need staffing-cost detail before formal budget decisions.
Athletic Superintendent Tony Burnett asked the board for approval to hire seasonal splash-pad staff, including attendants and a supervisor, and suggested pay ranges of $12–$15 per hour for attendants and $12–$20 per hour for a supervisor, estimating approximately four seasonal hires. The board did not vote on staffing or authorize hires during the workshop; those items remain for future budget consideration.
