Human services seeks new case-aide positions, MOA with union before postings

Stevens County Board of Commissioners · April 22, 2026

Summary

Human services staff proposed revising job descriptions and creating two case-aide positions (one at a higher grade) tied to foster-care eligibility duties and premium pay; staff said an MOU with the union is needed before posting.

Human services staff presented revised job descriptions and proposed two additional case-aide positions, explaining one position is placed a grade higher to reflect duties tied to federal foster-care eligibility and recordkeeping. Staff said the county will offer premium pay for caseworkers who take on additional CP caseloads, and that they prefer to fill new positions from an internal pool when allowable.

Staff cautioned they cannot post the modified positions until agreement language in a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the union is finalized. "We are currently... working with the union right now," staff said, and added that premium pay language (an additional $3.50 for CP workers handling two cases) is under discussion. The board discussed timeline and asked staff to return with finalized MOA language before posting.
