Summary

Human resources staff reported June personnel activity including a full-time paramedic hire, several corrections officers, and multiple open postings (LPN at health department, dispatcher, building and codes); staff cited family moves and routine turnover as primary reasons for vacancies.

The human resources representative reviewed June personnel activity and said the county filled a full-time paramedic position and a few corrections officer roles, and that one recruit who was certified moved away for family reasons. She listed open postings including part-time fire, full-time LPN at the health department, general sessions deputy clerk, dispatcher for the sheriff's office, and building and codes positions. She said recruiters have updated pay charts and advertising to improve candidate flow.

On workplace safety the representative thanked department directors for emphasizing heat-safety training during extreme temperatures and reported no heat-exhaustion workers' compensation claims for the period. "We did fill a paramedic full time and a couple of the corrections officers," she said. The committee had no further questions and thanked HR for the work.
