Board approves hiring of deputy with 30 years of law-enforcement experience
Summary
The board approved hiring Justin Dillard (referenced in the meeting as coming from the DEA) at step 5 after discussion of specialty pay eligibility and whether step increases require separate agenda action. Supervisors moved and carried the motion by voice vote.
The board approved the hire of a new deputy referenced in the meeting as Justin Dillard, described by a speaker as a former DEA agent and field-office supervisor with about 27 years of federal experience and prior service as a Colorado state trooper.
“We hired, Justin Dillard from the DEA. He's the agent in charge of the Omaha's field office,” a speaker stated during the personnel discussion, and the board subsequently moved and approved hiring at step 5 by voice vote. Supervisors asked whether the hire would qualify immediately for specialty pay; staff said specialty pay eligibility would be possible after two years but not immediately, and the board discussed bringing any higher-step start in front of the board rather than on a consent agenda.
The motion to approve hiring at step 5 passed by voice vote; supervisors recorded the motion carried and welcomed the new hire. The board directed staff to place any future step increases or higher-step hires on the agenda for explicit board consideration.
