Summary

After confirming a missed agenda item, the Prairie County commissioners hired Jessica Thomason as cemetery caretaker and amended the motion to set pay at $19 per hour.

The Prairie County Board of Commissioners voted March 18 to hire Jessica Thomason as the county cemetery caretaker and approved an amendment setting the pay at $19 per hour.

The appointment followed discussion during old business and input from the cemetery board; Commissioner Keltner moved to hire Thomason and the motion was seconded and passed. Commissioners confirmed the hourly wage in a subsequent amendment, which also passed unanimously ('all in favor'). The commissioners had called Thomason by phone during the meeting to inform her she had the position.

The record shows the board treated the matter as a confirmed appointment rather than a temporary assignment and set compensation at $19 per hour; specifics about hours, duties, or start date were not specified in the meeting record.
