Court approves jail compliance reclassification and grant coordinator promotion
Summary
Commissioners approved reclassifying a jail sergeant to an administrative compliance sergeant and promoted Dwight Mays from sergeant to lieutenant (grant coordinator), citing recent jail inspection success and workload concerns for existing compliance staff.
The Commissioners Court approved reclassifying an existing jail sergeant position to administrative (compliance) jail sergeant to support jail-standards work across the main jail and annex. Officials praised Sergeant Lewis for his role in achieving a successful jail inspection with zero deficiencies and said adding a second compliance sergeant will distribute work that has been concentrated on one person.
"He is constantly working on jail compliance ... this man is stretched thin," a sheriff's office speaker said of Sergeant Lewis, explaining the reclassification was not a new position but a regrading of an existing post to match duties. The court approved the reclassification unanimously.
Separately, the court approved reclassifying Dwight Mays, the county's grant coordinator, from sergeant to lieutenant with an accompanying pay-step change. Commissioners cited positive feedback from regional grant partners and praised Mays' grant facilitation, moving the classification by unanimous vote.
