Sheriff gets board approval to fill budgeted control position amid hiring freeze
Summary
Sheriff Levi Dominguez told commissioners that deputies handled nearly 1,600 vehicles at a recent soccer event and requested approval to fill a budgeted, full-time control position; the board voted unanimously to allow the hire.
Sheriff Levi Dominguez reported that traffic management during the Bighorn Soccer Cup required handling nearly 1,600 vehicles in about two-and-a-half hours and that keeping roads open both ways improved flow despite some delays.
Dominguez said a budgeted full-time control position became vacant and asked the board to approve filling it despite a county hiring freeze. Commissioner Mike Arzy moved to approve the hire; the motion passed unanimously.
The board recorded the hiring approval as a personnel action tied to maintaining public-safety operations and traffic-control capacity during large events. No additional budget amendment was requested at the meeting; the sheriff characterized the position as budgeted and necessary for ongoing operations.
