Commissioners create non‑compensated reserve investigator spot for district attorney's office
Summary
At the court's request a reserve investigator position (non‑compensated) was created for the district attorney's office to allow a longtime nonpaid contributor, Bailey Latham, to serve in reserve status; the measure passed unanimously.
The Scurry County Commissioners Court approved a request to create a non‑compensated reserve investigator position for the district attorney's office and confirmed the intended individual to occupy the reserve spot.
A county official speaking for the district attorney's office explained that state rules and agency designation changes required the commissioners to create a reserve position for the DA's office before an incumbent nonpaid contributor could be designated a reserve. The official described Bailey Latham as a longtime nonpaid contributor who previously assisted with court security and transport; the speaker said the change in designation required formal approval by the commissioners.
A commissioner moved to create the reserve position, another commissioner seconded the motion, and the court approved it by unanimous vote. The action creates an authorized reserve spot for the district attorney's office but does not create a paid position; the role is non‑compensated and intended to allow the named individual to assist as needed.
