Road supervisor requests raise, county pickup for key employee

Jewell County Commissioners · August 4, 2025

Summary

Joel Elkins asked the commissioners to give Jeff Cheek a raise and provide a county pickup for him, saying the Road Department already has a vehicle available and describing Cheek as essential to operations.

Road representative Joel Elkins urged the commissioners to increase pay for employee Jeff Cheek and to allow him to take a county pickup home. Elkins said Cheek's work is critical, adding that "without him I would be in a world of trouble." Elkins also said the Road Department already has a vehicle that could be used and that purchasing a new truck would not be necessary.

Commissioners discussed the request in the broader context of staffing and routes; the minutes record the request but do not show a vote or an approved personnel action in this session.
