Chester County salary board approves three new positions, including two grant-funded roles

The Chester County Salary Board approved three new positions at its Sept. 9 meeting, including two probation and drug-and-alcohol roles the staff described as fully grant-funded. Mr. Washburner explained the grant "was approved at, I believe, the August commissioner meeting," and said the two service-focused roles carry no county salary obligation while funded by the award.

Board members also approved a new staff position in the Register of Wills office, which staff said is needed because the office "have the need for additional staff to help manage the workflow" as volume has increased. The board approved the set of positions by voice vote during the meeting held Sept. 9; the transcript records the Chair announcing the motion passed.
