Washington County Council approved a salary-ordinance amendment to eliminate the Dispatcher 4/Shift Lead position and reallocate the remaining funds to a part-time dispatchers line.

911 Director Kelly Sargent presented the request to the council. Councilmember Andrew Davisson made the motion to approve the amendment and Councilmember Karen Wischmeier seconded; the motion passed. Davisson moved to "approve the salary ordinance amendment," and the council adopted the change.

The ordinance amendment was described as an internal staffing realignment rather than a net increase in payroll; no dollar amounts were recorded in the minutes. The council did not record any amendment to the county's broader salary ordinance in this motion.
