Moultrie County Board is planning to do some giving and taking away at the regula October meeting Thursday.
During three different committee meetings Oct. 2 a proposed hiring freeze would take away county office personnel decisions and a reorganization of animal control will take away Jan Haegen’s part time ESDA position.
The giving came upon recommendation of County Board Chairman Dave McCabe to create a new Department of Technology services and hire a department head at a $65,000 annual salary.
The full time position would have a courthouse office to handle IT issues as well as provide Geographic Information System GIS mapping services for the supervisor of assessments.
Personnel Committee members continued giving with the recommendation of $1500 annual increases for courthouse employees.
In addition to the regular increases, Chairman McCabe recommended bringing Supervisor of Assessments Lori Barringer’s salary to $53,045 as well as allow the supervisor to give one employee a $1000 bonus.
