Madison County approves two hires for secondary roads

Madison County — The board approved two hiring resolutions for the county’s secondary-roads crew on Dec. 5. The first resolution authorized hiring a person listed in the transcript as 'T. Algo' as a full-time equipment operator at $25.59 per hour. The second authorized hiring Elmer Bass as a full-time truck driver at $25.15 per hour, effective Jan. 2.

Both hires were placed on the agenda ahead of a regular meeting next week. Heather moved to approve the agenda item for the first hire and Diane seconded; a voice vote followed and the chair announced the motion carried. For the second hire Diane moved the motion and Heather seconded; members again voiced 'Aye' and the chair said the motion carries. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or individual vote tallies beyond the verbal 'Aye.'

The hires were described as secondary-roads positions; no other personnel details or background about the hires were provided in the record. The board moved next to an extended courthouse renovation work session.
