Commission approves rehiring and hires in public works and maintenance
Summary
The commission approved multiple personnel items in public works: rehiring Renee Schoengert as a temporary part‑time clerk through the completion of bridge scanning, appointing Ty Dilbeck to a mechanic vacancy, and ending the introductory period for Christopher Weist effective June 21, 2026.
The McPherson County Commission approved several personnel actions in public works during the June 22 meeting, allowing staff to continue bridge‑scanning work and fill a mechanic vacancy.
Public works director David Barnablust (S5) asked the board to rehire Renee Schoengert as a part‑time temporary clerk so she can finish bridge scanning; she is expected to reach 500 hours on July 3 and the rehiring will extend her work (county practice allows up to 999 hours for this type of position). Barnablust moved on a second item to hire Ty Dilbeck to fill a mechanic opening; commissioners approved the PCM for Ty Dilbeck effective June 21. Barnablust also presented Christopher Weist’s six‑month evaluation and asked the board to end his introductory period; the board approved the PCN effective June 21.
The board approved the personnel actions by voice vote. Barnablust described the staffing mix in the mechanic shop — a supervisor and three mechanics — and noted another mechanic may retire later in the year.
