Commission approves several staffing and pay changes; benefits proposal postponed
Summary
Finance Officer Dawn McLaughlin secured approval to return Mike Baldwin to a salaried Weed & Pest supervisor role ($57,428.80) and confirmed probation completions for two department heads; a proposal to extend full health benefits to 28+ hour employees was postponed for handbook language changes.
Finance Officer Dawn McLaughlin requested and the Commission approved moving Mike Baldwin, Weed & Pest Supervisor, back to a salaried position at an annual rate of $57,428.80 (the minutes record Hindle and Busskohl voting aye and Linde voting nay). McLaughlin also presented completion-of-probation approvals for Department of Equalization head Scott Storms (salary $67,000) and Amber Maidens in HR (hourly rate $25), effective Oct. 6, 2025; those motions carried unanimously.
McLaughlin introduced a proposal to extend full health benefits to employees working 28 or more hours per week but the board deferred action and asked for clarified handbook language to avoid potential discrimination. She also received approval to advertise for a full-time Deputy Auditor II position and a part-time Nurse Secretary.
