Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2026-12 to formalize county job descriptions and wage study recommendations
Summary
Dubois County Commissioners unanimously adopted Ordinance 2026-12, which adopts revised job descriptions and classifications informed by the Job Classification and Compensation Study; the ordinance takes effect Jan. 1, 2027.
Human Resources Generalist Markie Rhodes presented Ordinance 2026-12, based on a Job Classification and Compensation Study by Waggoner, Irwin, Scheele & Associates, recommending adoption of revised job descriptions and classifications across county departments. Rhodes said the ordinance would become effective Jan. 1, 2027, concurrent with the 2027 budget process.
The ordinance text (Exhibit A) lists department job titles and FLSA classifications for positions across Ambulance Services, Auditor, Circuit Court, Communications Center, Community Corrections, Health, Highway, Human Resources, and other county departments. The board voted to adopt the ordinance "as presented," and the motion carried unanimously. The ordinance text states: "This Ordinance shall be in full force and effective on January 1, 2027." The commissioners asked staff to update the Employee Personnel Policies Handbook to reflect the ordinance changes and to present a Longevity Policy at a future meeting.
