Summary

The Board recognized Linda Burns of WIC for 41 years of service and retirement, introduced Conservation administrative assistant Jesse (Jessica) Schnitker, and recorded hires including Jennifer Larsen (Disability Services Navigator) and Marisa Pursell (WIC support staff).

At the July 21 meeting the Board recognized Linda Burns, Clerk — WIC, for 41 years of dedicated service and recorded her retirement; the item was for recognition only and no formal action was required. Conservation staff introduced Jesse (transcript lists both Jesse and Jessica in different lines) Schnitker as an Administrative Assistant; the record includes a hire for Conservation listed as Jessica Schnitker in the received/filed salary actions. The Board approved the employment of Jennifer Larsen as a Disability Services Navigator (consent agenda) and recorded the WIC employment of Marisa Pursell as Support Staff under received/filed salary actions.

The minutes show a discrepancy in the conservation hire name (both "Jesse Schnitker" and "Jessica Schnitker" appear in the record). The Board did not amend the minutes or provide a corrected spelling during the meeting. County personnel staff should verify the correct legal name for payroll and public records.
