Summary
The Greenwood County Commission appointed Deborah Selfridge as Interim Noxious Weed Director with pay set at $23.87 and approved a pay increase for Devin Harris to $19.38 after completion of job requirements; commissioners also approved hiring a shared signage employee. All motions passed unanimously.
Commission Chair Preston Evenson and the Greenwood County Commissioners approved personnel changes in Road & Bridge during their March 30 meeting, including appointing Deborah Selfridge as Interim Noxious Weed Director and increasing her pay to $23.87 per hour. Road and Bridge Supervisor Alan Greenwood told the commission that Selfridge "had completed all the requirements for this position," and the board approved the appointment on a 5-0 vote.
The commission also approved a pay increase for Devin Harris, raising his hourly rate from $16.92 to $19.38 after Greenwood said Harris completed the requirements to be a Noxious Weed Technician. Commissioners discussed hiring additional help for road signage; Commissioner Mac Obourn moved to hire a full-time employee for signage projects at $18.35 per hour, and the motion carried 5-0. Obourn later amended his motion to make the new position shared between Road & Bridge and Noxious Weed with a pay range of $15.45–$18.35 per hour; the amendment is recorded in the minutes but a separate roll-call for the amendment is not noted.
The actions formalized during the meeting give the county immediate staffing capacity in the Noxious Weed program and the Road & Bridge signage work; supervisors indicated the staffing changes follow completion of required certifications and duties.
The meeting record shows each personnel motion passed 5-0.
