Board lifts hiring freeze to fill COA in-home services vacancy
Summary
The committee approved Resolution 2026-01 to lift the hiring freeze and allow the Commission on Aging director to fill an in-home service worker vacancy; motion passed with no opposition.
County Administrator/CFO Patrick Whiteford told commissioners that the COA has an open position for an In-Home Service Worker and requested permission to fill the vacancy. Commissioner Scott Matley moved to approve Resolution 2026-01 to lift the hiring freeze so the COA director may hire for the position; Commissioner Robert Baldwin supported the motion, and there was no recorded opposition.
COA Director Jodi Magee reminded the committee that Meals on Wheels follows school closures but the Kalkaska COA site remains open; she said satellite meal-site schedules may vary. The minutes record no further conditions tied to the hiring authorization.
