County Clerk Rob Christman requested permission to fill one
Special Deputy (non-union, Grade 7, Step: 0) position. This position will be
needed no more than 90 days per year. This position will be responsible for facilitating
the complexities of the very complicated indexing and mapping program project
including taking thousands of maps/surveys/highway appropriations among other
legal documents and generating a database that can be used by the general
public, abstractors, surveyors, and local government officials. The annual cost
of this position is $14,981.40, and there will not be any benefit expenses
associated with this position. This position will be funded 100 percent with
County funds. Mr. Christman stated this position will have no legacy costs as
the employee(s) will be part-time. Mr. Christman went on to say this position
will allow them to create a better system that will be tremendously better than
what is currently in place. Committee Chairman O’Grady asked where in the
budget the money will come from. Mr. Christman stated there will be no increase
to what he has asked for his 2017 Budget, and he is certain he will have enough
in his .1 accounts to cover it. A motion was made by Legislator Fanton, seconded
by Legislator Decker, and carried to create and fill the Special Deputy
Position up to $5,000 for the 2017 Budget year. Refer to Ways and Means.
