County advertises two highway positions as retirements loom

County staff told the board they are advertising two highway office positions because several retirements are upcoming: a nonunion superintendent position to be posted externally and a motor-grader position to be offered internally first. Staff said internal employees may apply for the superintendent and that expected timing for hiring will take a few weeks.

"So we are trying to navigate that," the agency official said while describing recruitment plans and timelines. The official added that in-house candidates would be considered for the grader role before external recruitment.
