Commission approves personnel hires, vehicle purchases and several permits
Summary
The commission approved two full‑time hires (Sheriff's dispatcher Sarah Bastian; state's attorney hire Kirsten Heitman), authorized two vehicle purchases from state bid for invasive species management, and approved utility and electric line permits after staff recommendation.
Commissioners approved two personnel requests — Sarah Bastian to the sheriff’s office as Dispatcher I (grade 1, $24.80) and Kirsten Heitman to the state’s attorney office (county employee 2, grade 1, $24.64) — and granted a $50/month cell phone premium effective April 29, 2026.
The commission also authorized the purchase of two pickups from state contract (Ram 3/4‑ton and Chevy Silverado 1/2‑ton) for invasive‑species work, noting the purchases were budgeted. Staff recommended approval of a Peterson Excavation utility permit to install a waterline under West Highway 14 (city concurrence provided) and a Butte Electric permit to bore under Homestake Road for power service; commissioners approved both permits and instructed staff on standard depth/bonding considerations.
