Council approves job-classification updates and Highway mechanic CDL-hire change
Summary
The Council approved position moves and classification updates for the Auditor and Surveyor offices and removed a hire-time CDL requirement for Highway mechanics, requiring new hires to obtain a CDL within nine months with in-house training.
Human Resources Director Daree Fry presented several Job Maintenance Committee recommendations. She said the Auditor's Customer Service Specialist A & B positions had updated duties coordinating with a GIS Technician and that the former Plat Book Technician role was being transferred to the Surveyor's Office, retitled GIS Technician and reduced to a 35-hour work week; classifications remained at COMOT III and the Auditor position saw no salary change.
Fry also presented a change to the Highway Department mechanic job removing the requirement to possess a Commercial Driver's License at hire; newly hired mechanics must obtain a CDL within nine months with in-house training provided by Highway Superintendent Eddie Fisher, a certified CDL trainer through Purdue. Fry said outside CDL training costs about $3,000 per person while in-house training would reduce the county's cost to roughly $250-$350 for the licensing test.
Council Member Vickie Kivett moved to approve the Auditor and Surveyor classification changes and Council Member Brian Culp seconded; the motion carried 7-0. Council Member Melissa Greene moved to approve the Highway mechanic CDL requirement change and Council Member Troy Sprinkle seconded; the motion carried 7-0.
