The full story

Chief Deputy Arnold Butcher said the Sheriff's Office has been aligning administrative duties and proposed reclassifying a soon-to-be-vacant Jail Administrative Support position to an Account Tech I or II to keep financial tasks close to the point of transaction. He noted the department has the budget to absorb the change but that an Account Tech II is an upgrade requiring full Commission approval. Butcher thanked HR Business Partner Nathalia Cornell for her work on the request.
