Board approves new part-time corrections positions and two hires for DA's office

Personnel staff presented several staffing items. First, the sheriff’s office requested creating two permanent part-time correction-officer positions to replace temporary employees and provide a training pipeline to full-time roles; staff said budget flexibility from unfilled vacancies covers the change and the board approved the positions.

"We're just asking for 2 part time positions," Personnel staff said, noting these roles help fill shifts and provide training opportunities. The board also approved appointments requested by the district attorney's office: a part-time assistant district attorney at management grade J, step 10 (the meeting did not provide a clear, formal salary figure) and a part-time investigator above midpoint at management grade H, step 11. Motions for the personnel items were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Nut graf: The personnel actions are intended to stabilize operations in the sheriff and DA offices and to formalize hiring practices. Meeting remarks made clear the county has vacancies but staff said available budgeted funds will cover the requested part-time positions and appointments. Where salary or numeric codes were unclear in the transcript, the record shows the grade and step references followed personnel practice but explicit dollar amounts were not stated in the discussion.
