Sheriff's office requests hiring overlap to replace finance manager Katrina Harris
Summary
Brad asked permission to recruit a replacement for finance and budget manager Katrina Harris, who is leaving at year-end, and requested roughly two months overlap for training; commissioners asked questions about budget and whether the skill set existed internally.
Brad told commissioners that Katrina Harris, the sheriff's finance and budget manager, will leave at the end of the year and asked approval to begin recruitment now so the county could provide roughly two months of overlap for training. He said the role handles unique sheriff's-office financial responsibilities including grant reporting, seizure accounting and specialized budget work and that the position has been in place since 2019.
Commissioners asked about budget availability and whether an internal candidate existed; staff said they do not have an internal candidate identified and that a replacement would likely not be paid at Katrina's current rate if hired. Commissioners asked staff to consider centralizing finance staff countywide as part of a broader evaluation, but agreed hiring was necessary during the transition if centralization decisions were not yet made.
No formal action was recorded; staff were asked to proceed with recruitment while reporting budget implications.
