Board lifts hiring freeze to allow several county hires, including COA dietary manager and deputy treasurer
Summary
Resolutions were approved to lift the county hiring freeze so departments can fill specific vacancies: a COA Dietary Manager, a Kaliseum part‑time cleaner (grant‑funded), Chief Deputy Treasurer and Deputy County Clerk.
On Nov. 20 the Kalkaska County Board of Commissioners approved a series of personnel resolutions to lift the hiring freeze for several county positions. Commissioner Scott Matley moved to approve Resolution 2024‑49 allowing the COA director to hire a Dietary Manager; that and three additional hiring‑freeze resolutions passed unanimously.
The board also approved Resolution 2024‑47 to allow the Kaliseum director to hire a part‑time cleaner (to be charged to grant funding supporting after‑school programs), Resolution 2024‑48 to permit the County Treasurer to fill the Chief Deputy Treasurer vacancy, and Resolution 2024‑50 to allow the County Clerk to fill the Deputy County Clerk vacancy. Each motion was approved on roll call with 7 yeas and 0 nays.
Administrators framed these actions as departmental staffing needs tied to ongoing program delivery and grant responsibilities; for example, the Kaliseum cleaner position will be charged to grant funding that supports the after‑school program and Live Well events.
