Summary
Garfield County commissioners approved Resolution 4-2026 to dissolve the Human Resource/Payroll Clerk position, move payroll duties into the Clerk & Recorder’s Office, and assign HR responsibilities for grievances and disciplinary actions to the commissioners.
The Garfield County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 4-2026 on July 15, 2026, dissolving the position titled Human Resource/Payroll Clerk and consolidating payroll duties into the Clerk & Recorder’s Office. The resolution states in part that the county will "dissolve the position entitled Human Resource/Payroll Clerk," and that payroll duties concerning new-hire paperwork, insurance and retirement will remain with the Clerk and Recorder.
The resolution further assigns human-resources responsibilities such as grievances, disciplinary actions and final decisions to the discretion of the commissioners, citing the County Policy Manual and Montana Code Annotated 7-4-2110. The document was approved and signed by Chair Kelly Witt, Vice-Chair Carla McWilliams and member Jerry Collins; no formal vote tally was recorded in the transcript. The board did not take additional formal action on how the transition will be implemented; commissioners instructed staff to continue coordinating next steps.
