Commissioners authorize filling HR assistant role after resignation; position within current budget
Summary
Sheridan County commissioners approved a motion to authorize filling the HR assistant position after HR assistant Emily Barker accepted another job; the chair said the position fits within the existing budget and no changes to the role were requested.
Chair (S2) read a notice from Kenny Custis reporting that HR assistant Emily Barker had accepted another position and would leave county employment. "Emily's last day will be 05/08/2026," the chair read during the April 20 meeting, and asked the board to authorize filling the HR assistant vacancy.
Commissioner (S1) moved to authorize Kenny to fill the HR assistant position; the motion was seconded. One commissioner urged waiting to fill the role so the board could clarify responsibilities between the clerk and HR; the chair responded that there is no statutory barrier and that Kenny needs support, noting he currently supports about 200 employees. The board approved the request by voice vote; the chair announced the motion carries.
Why it matters: The county will begin recruitment to replace the HR assistant, ensuring continuity of personnel services and support for the county's staff load. The chair said the position is within the current budget and that no changes to the job classification were requested.
