Chester County salary board approves minutes, adopts agenda and adjourns after brief meeting

The Chester County Salary Board convened Sept. 9, approved the minutes of its Aug. 12 meeting and adopted the day’s agenda by voice votes, then moved to personnel items. Chair Josh Maxwell opened the meeting and provided remote-participation and public-comment instructions; Mr. Washburner (name spelled inconsistently in the transcript) handled staff presentations.

By voice vote the board approved three new positions — two probation/drug-and-alcohol roles described as grant-funded and a Register of Wills staff position — and separately approved three reclassifications to lower hiring thresholds at the county home, district court and planning department. No public comments were offered. A motion to adjourn carried and the meeting ended.
