Summary

The Asotin County commissioners approved rehiring an employee identified only as 'Janice' for 20 hours in July to train a new office assistant at the WSU Asotin/Garfield County Extension office, following a request from Extension Director Mark Heitstuman.

Mark Heitstuman, WSU Asotin/Garfield County Extension Director, asked the board to re-hire an employee identified in the transcript only as "Janice" for 20 hours total during July so she can train a newly hired office assistant. The board approved the request after a motion by Commissioner Charles Whitman and a second from Commissioner Brian Shinn; the transcript records "motion carried."

The request was presented as a short-term training need tied to onboarding; the transcript does not provide Janice's last name, hourly rate, or whether the hours will be charged to a particular fund. The approval was recorded as a motion carried without a detailed roll-call tally in the transcript.
