County workshops veterans-officer hire; interlocal partners decline
Summary
A proposed part-time veterans officer position (around $20k) was discussed; the county judge had declined to hire midterm, and neighboring counties told the presenter they would not enter interlocal arrangements for the position, prompting the court to defer action.
County staff reviewed a previously proposed part-time veterans officer position and explained the county judge decided not to fill the position midterm. The presenter said he had explored interlocal partnerships with neighboring counties, but representatives from those counties said they would not participate.
The presenter also noted a retiree-rehire rule: "When you retire, you have to wait 60 days before you can go to work," and said that constraint affected the timing of any proposed hire. Commissioners were invited to discuss the veterans office at later budget hearings; no hiring action was taken at the special meeting.
