Summary

Steuben County voted to amend the salary plan and reclassify the county historian from part time to full time, raising the management grade and approving appointment at a specified step; the move aims to expand public use of historic resources and school outreach.

The committee approved two related personnel actions to convert the county historian from part time to full time and upgrade the position's management grade from D to F.

Nate explained the change will expand hours and duties — including more school visits and use of county historic facilities — and will require a grade change. On costs, staff said the current part-time pay is "in the neighborhood of 24" (current, part-time basis) and the full-time step and grade would increase total compensation; the committee approved both the salary-plan amendment and the reclassification by voice vote.

Members asked about additional responsibilities and whether the person would double hours from roughly 20 to 40; staff confirmed the position will become full-time. A resolution or appointment step will be finalized in implementation paperwork.
