Court approves part‑time kennel hire and training incentives

The fiscal court approved a personnel hire and two training incentives at its Oct. 1 special called meeting. Road department official recommended hiring Amber Corbin as a part‑time kennel laborer at a rate of $14 per hour (the personnel sheet included a retroactive start time notation that the official clarified was only an entry time on the sheet). The court moved, seconded and approved the hire by voice vote.

Chair also said separate motions were needed to approve training incentives. The court approved an incentive for Erica and separately approved Dez's incentive; both motions carried by voice vote. The transcript records the hires and incentives as approved but does not include employment contracts, incentive amounts or longer personnel discussion in open session.
