Commissioners approve two Road & Bridge hires, direct staff to solicit equipment bids
Summary
The Board approved hiring two Road & Bridge employees—Johnathan Wheelen (seasonal, $15/hr) and William Parker (full-time, $16/hr)—and directed the Road & Bridge supervisor to obtain bids for new machinery and a trailer.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved two hires for the Road & Bridge department and instructed staff to seek bids for new equipment at its March 31 meeting.
Road and Bridge Supervisor Cody Zook presented two candidates for employment. The Board approved hiring Johnathan Wheelen as a seasonal part-time laborer at $15.00 per hour and William Parker as a full-time Utility/Operator I at $16.00 per hour. Commissioner Cory Moates moved to approve the hires; the Wheelen hire was seconded by Commissioner Myra Carlisle Frazier and the Parker hire was seconded by Commissioner Jack Garner. Both motions "passed unanimously," per the minutes.
After the hires were approved, the Board discussed procuring new machinery and a trailer to support Road & Bridge operations and directed Supervisor Zook to move forward with obtaining bids. The record does not show a formal procurement contract award at the meeting.
