Summary

County officials approved a part-time hiring package that named Darren Christiansen as a facilities tech 2 and referenced a seasonal park custodian position for Victor Van Well at $18.68 per hour; the action passed on a voice vote and the meeting adjourned.

Brenda Hatton, Codington County auditor, told the meeting the county had a part-time hiring item for approval, naming Darren Christiansen as a facilities tech 2 and citing a park custodian role for Victor Van Well at $18.68 an hour.

Hatton described the hire(s) as seasonal and part time and identified the facilities position as a new hire. "So I have one here for Darren Christiansen. That would be facilities tech 2, and this is a new hire," she said, and noted the park custodian pay rate as "$18.68 an hour." The auditor identified the positions for the body but did not provide additional budget or funding-source details.

A motion to approve the hiring package was made (motion by Johnson, second by McElhaney) and adopted on a voice vote after the Chair called for "aye." The Chair announced, "Motion carries." No roll-call tally was read into the record and vote counts were not specified.

The Chair said there was no need to return to executive session and a subsequent motion to adjourn (motion by Johnson, second by Schwere) carried; the meeting ended with brief closing remarks.

The transcript does not specify which department will administer the new hires' pay or list a funding source for the positions. The agenda item was presented as a housekeeping personnel approval and no amendments or dissenting votes were recorded in the public minutes.
