Court approves converting a part‑time clerk role into a part‑time forensic death investigator
Summary
Tracy asked the court to convert an existing part‑time clerk position to a part‑time forensic death investigator to reduce comp time and support investigators; commissioners approved the change 4‑1 with staff noting no immediate budget increase.
Tracy told the court she has been covering shift work and comp time and asked to convert a part‑time clerk position (25 hours/week, $25,000 annually) into a part‑time forensic death investigator (27 hours/week). She said adding a part‑time investigator would help reduce comp time for full‑time investigators and improve coverage.
Commissioners asked whether the change could wait until the new budget, and staff replied the request does not require immediate additional funds for the rest of the fiscal year. One commissioner urged a departmental review through the budget committee; another moved and seconded the item to stay in discussion mode. The motion to make the position change carried 4‑1.
Tracy said she would try to recruit within the posted pay range and may request a future pay adjustment if recruitment requires it. The court recorded the result and asked the budget review committee to continue monitoring staffing proposals for fiscal 2026.
