Sheriff says lobby office work has started; requests additional part-time dispatcher
Summary
Sheriff Don Jacobs told commissioners work began on a new office in the sheriff's lobby and asked permission to add a second part-time dispatcher. Commissioners agreed that an extra part-time hire would be acceptable because such positions do not carry benefits.
Sheriff Don Jacobs reported on April 13 that work has begun on a new office in the sheriff's lobby and that an applicant has applied for the part-time dispatcher opening.
Jacobs asked whether the county would permit hiring an additional part-time dispatcher; commissioners responded that it would be acceptable because part-time employees do not receive benefits. The April 13 minutes record no formal motion to create a new position; the board indicated informal approval for the hire, subject to any hiring rules the county follows.
The sheriff did not give a timetable for the hire, and the county attorney or clerk's office will manage any formal personnel paperwork necessary to add staff.
