Commissioners approve five temporary juvenile-services positions for new control room
Summary
The court approved five B24 juvenile-services positions for seven months to staff an expanded control room in a new juvenile facility; Director Scott Matthew said the control room will be larger and will handle expanded camera and intake operations.
The Williamson County Commissioners Court approved five temporary B24 juvenile-services positions for seven months to staff a new control room tied to an upcoming juvenile facility opening. Commissioner Covey, who sponsored the item, said the positions are short-term (seven months) to allow training and to staff the control room when the building opens; the motion passed 5–0.
Scott Matthew, director of services, told the court the new control room will be significantly larger and that staffing it separately would improve supervision and operations. "It's gonna be twice as big as it is right now... We're gonna go to about 3 50, 400 cameras with the new," he said while describing monitoring and intake functions the control room will support. Commissioners and staff agreed the positions are tied to the building-opening timeline and noted the roles are included in an upcoming county salary study.
Action: motion by Commissioner Covey, second by Commissioner Long; vote 5–0 to approve five temporary juvenile-services positions, funding for seven months.
