Summary

After a candidate declined the Deputy Prosecuting II role, the county prosecutor asked the board to advertise for a Chief Deputy Prosecutor responsible for criminal cases; the commissioners approved advertising and future hiring once a candidate is selected.

Ty Albertson, Lincoln County Prosecuting Attorney, informed the board that a candidate for the Deputy Prosecuting II position declined the offer and recommended advertising instead for a Chief Deputy Prosecutor who would assume responsibility for criminal cases for the department. The board agreed and unanimously authorized advertising for the Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney position and to hire once a candidate is secured.

The minutes do not list an anticipated salary range or timeline for appointment. The board signaled support for the prosecutor’s approach to broaden the advertised position given the department’s workload and staffing needs.
