Road and Bridge director reports 12 vacancies, cites recruiting challenges
Summary
Harrison County Road & Bridge reported 12 current vacancies and described recruitment difficulties tied to private-sector pay; crews have been working overtime to clear storm damage and new dump trucks are being readied for field use.
A Road & Bridge representative told the court the department still has 12 open positions and described ongoing recruitment struggles as private-sector wages draw potential hires away. The representative also summarized storm response work and equipment acquisitions that affect day-to-day operations.
“We still have 12 empty slots,” the Road & Bridge speaker said, explaining that applicants frequently decline after seeing the county pay scale. The department has had crews out overnight to remove trees after a recent wind event and reported four new dump trucks are scheduled to enter service once decals and tags are added.
Commissioners asked for clarification about staffing levels; the court approved the personnel report as presented by unanimous vote.
