Finance committee re-creates deputy clerk role after debate over wage, payroll stipend
Summary
The committee approved re-creating a deputy clerk position in the County Clerk's office amid debate over starting pay and a $2.00 hourly payroll stipend; Commissioner Ferguson voted against the motion.
The DeWitt County Finance Committee voted to re-create a deputy clerk position in the County Clerk's office after discussion about pay and duties. The committee noted the wage schedule starting rate of $17.68 per hour, while the County Clerk had advertised the position at $19.00 per hour; members discussed that inclusion of payroll duties would qualify the role for a $2.00 hourly stipend but Commissioner Terry Ferguson said the stipend should not be paid until the employee demonstrably performs payroll tasks. The motion to re-create the position passed by voice vote with Ferguson recorded as voting nay.
Committee members Megan Myers and Claro Carter indicated that if the money is budgeted the Clerk could proceed to fill the position. The minutes record the committee's decision but do not specify the name of the person to be hired; hiring and stipend implementation will follow department hiring processes and any applicable payroll rules.
