Sheriff's Office authorized to create paid part-time backup position

Sherman County Court · April 1, 2026

Summary

Sherman County Commissioners approved creating a paid part-time office assistant position for the Sheriff's Office (level 6 pay) to allow paid coverage when volunteers are called in; the vote was unanimous.

The Sherman County Court approved creation of a part-time paid office assistant in the Sheriff's Office on April 1, with pay set at the part-time salary schedule level 6. Commissioner Justin Miller moved to "authorize the creation of a part-time office assistant position for the Sheriff's Office to be paid on the part-time salary schedule at a level 6," and the motion passed 3-0.

Sheriff James Burgett had described using a volunteer as intermittent backfill but said the Office wants the ability to pay a person when called in to ensure continuity. The action formalizes pay for those occasional duties rather than leaving all coverage unpaid, according to the minutes.
