Commission reclassifies Jackpot transit position to full time amid provider changes
Summary
Faced with a local health-care provider leaving Jackpot, the board approved reclassifying a part-time Get My Ride transit position to full time with grant funding expected to cover most costs; commissioners asked that the position be tied to grant availability so it can revert if funding ends.
County staff asked the board to reclassify a part-time Get My Ride transit position in Jackpot to full-time after a local health-care provider announced it was leaving and residents must travel more frequently to Twin Falls for care. Staff said Get My Ride already covers about 75% of the position costs through grant funds and Jackpot will cover the remaining roughly $15,000; the budget committee recommended approval.
A commissioner said the reclassification should be a temporary, grant-dependent solution and moved the reclassification with language tying the position to grant funding availability; the board approved the motion and asked staff to monitor grant continuity and future needs.
