Board adds chief deputy and Road & Bridge superintendents to exempt list

County staff told commissioners they had circulated information on exempt-employee list changes and recommended adding the sheriff's chief deputy and three Road & Bridge superintendents. A motion to include those positions on the exempt-employee list was moved and approved by voice vote.

"I sent that out again the other day for those that might have missed it the 1st time around," a staff member said, explaining the suggested additions followed discussions with department heads and elected officials. Commissioners debated job descriptions and said they would review paperwork if the sheriff requested other classifications in the future.
