Commissioners back sharing one full‑time helper between clerk and treasurer
Summary
Facing vacancies in both the clerk and treasurer offices, commissioners tentatively approved shifting deputy salary authority into a shared full‑time helper split between the two offices starting in January — a cost‑saving step intended to keep routine office work covered while limiting long‑term personnel commitments.
Commissioners discussed staffing gaps after both the county clerk and a deputy resigned and considered a joint option: fund a single full‑time employee whose time would be split between the treasurer and clerk offices.
Board members and the treasurer said sharing a single hire would provide continuity, cover payroll and claims duties, and reduce the need to maintain a standalone deputy salary line in each office. The board tentatively agreed to move about $10,000 from each office’s deputy line into a shared part‑time/full‑time clerical position line and to keep current full‑time pay through the end of the calendar year. The hiring approach will be finalized in January when the new clerk is appointed and budget authority can be adjusted with a formal transfer or resolution if needed.
