Commission to consider safety coordinator position and office administrator reclassification
Summary
Road department engineer proposed a new pay-grade-20 safety coordinator position estimated to cost roughly $26,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year; staff also proposed reclassifying the office manager to an office administrator effective Oct. 1, 2026 and posting a base-crew foreman vacancy.
Clay Phillips outlined a proposed Road Department safety coordinator position (pay grade 20) responsible for safety training, monitoring, and implementing work-order procedures; the position would require a budget amendment and is expected to cost about $26,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year if posted promptly. Phillips said the superintendent will remain more hands-on and the coordinator will provide proactive safety oversight and inventory coordination with the road crews.
Phillips also proposed reclassifying the office manager position to an office administrator (pay grade 20) effective Oct. 1, 2026; staff discussed posting timelines with payroll and the county attorney review. “It should be around require $26,000 for the rest of the year,” Phillips said when describing the prorated cost to implement the safety coordinator mid-year. Commissioners instructed staff to prepare budget amendment language and, if ready, place the positions for action at the upcoming commission meeting.
