Limestone County approves law-enforcement staffing changes and two personnel actions

At its Dec. 1 meeting the Limestone County Commission approved changes to the law-enforcement staffing plan and took two personnel actions in the sheriff’s office.

The commission approved an amendment to the staffing plan under law enforcement ‘to reflect grama 20 for the 3 deputies assigned to the investigations’ as read into the record; the transcript records the phrasing verbatim and does not clarify the intended term 'grama 20.' Commissioners voted to approve the amendment unanimously.

In the same motion the commission approved hiring Pedro DeLuna Jr. as a junior deputy, effective Dec. 10 pending a drug screening, and promoted John Russell from deputy sheriff to courthouse security sergeant, effective Dec. 1. Both personnel actions were approved by unanimous vote.

The transcript does not include further detail on grade/pay adjustments or assignment specifics beyond the text read into the record.
