Commissioners approve temporary assessor assistance for up to 30 hours
Summary
The board approved bringing Paul Falls on temporarily to assist the assessor's office and accepted a friendly amendment limiting the assignment to a maximum of 30 hours. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
The Sheridan County board approved a motion to bring Paul Falls on temporarily to assist the assessor’s office. A commissioner moved to hire him for part‑time assistance and another commissioner offered a friendly amendment to cap the work at 30 hours; the board accepted the amendment, seconded the motion and voted in favor.
During discussion, a commissioner noted the hiring freeze and asked that the temporary appointment mirror processes used for other positions. One commissioner said: "I moved away previous assessor's office to bring in all calls needed for some part time assistance," explaining the staffing need and the rationale for the temporary appointment. The board agreed to the 30‑hour cap during the motion’s amendment and the chair announced the motion carried.
Outcome and next steps: the motion passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call; staff will implement the temporary arrangement consistent with county hiring policies and the stated 30‑hour maximum.
