Part Time Summer Help/Full-Time Maintenance: Mr. Bateman
reported the part time summer help has been trimming bushes and
tomorrow he is laying new wood chips at Scully Park. Mr. Ruben would
like to hire another full-time maintenance worker. Mr. Ruben talked
to Sheriff and Sheriff is okay with hiring another full-time
maintenance worker under him. The committee agreed they could
increase the Sheriff’s Budget $30,000 to hire another maintenance
worker. Mr. Hepler would like the board to set the job description
for the new worker. Mr. Bateman reported the summer time help has
been coming in at 8:30a.m every day and Mrs. Meagher has been
signing off on his time. Mr. Ruben suggested if the Sheriff hires
another maintenance worker, maybe the maintenance worker can check
in with Mrs. Meagher or Mrs. Freese and see if they have a list for
him to do in the afternoon. If the secretaries do not have a list
for the maintenance worker he then goes back to helping Mr. Reves. A
motion was made by Mrs. Schumacher, seconded by Mr. Ruben, transfer
$30,000 into the Sheriff’s Budget to hire a full time maintenance
worker who would also handle responsibilities from Building and
Grounds. Motion passed. Mr. Hepler will contact Sheriff and talk to
him regarding the maintenance worker. Mr. Hepler would like Sheriff
to also help on the job description. Mr. Bateman will bring forward
this motion at the workshop. The part time summer help will keep
working until the full time worker is hired.
